Description

AMENDMENT 1 TO SOLICITATION 1333ND26QNB030043 Due to Vendor Questions:

Vendor Question 1:

Can you let me know if the parts will be held on flat boats or manually placed on the workholder?

NIST Response:

The samples (chips) need to be wire bonder to a 256-pin ceramic package. This ceramic package needs to be affixed to the stage of the bonder for wire bonding.

Vendor Question 2:

Current Equipment: Are you currently using a manual wire bonder? If so, could you specify the make and model?

NIST Response:

No

Vendor Question 3:

Application: What type of bonding applications do you plan to run with the new wire bonder?

NIST Response:

We are looking to bond a 1 cm2 chip inside a 256-pin double-tiered ceramic package and streamline the process

Vendor Question 4:

Bonding Tools: Are there specific bonding tools or configurations required for your applications?

NIST Response:

You will find this information in the Statement of Work.

Vendor Question 5:

Accessories: Will you need additional items such as a microscope, work holders, or any other accessories?

NIST Response:

The tool should contain a scope for inspection and a way to fix the sample piece to the stage.

FAQ

How do I use the Market Snapshot?

It summarizes awarded-contract behavior for the opportunity’s NAICS and sector, including a recent pricing band (P10–P90), momentum, and composition. Use it as context, not a guarantee.

Is the data live?

The signal updates as new awarded notices enter the system. Always validate the official award and solicitation details on SAM.gov.

What do P10 and P90 mean?

P10 is the 10th percentile award size and P90 is the 90th percentile. Together they describe the typical spread of award values.
