Alfred University's NYS College of Ceramics seeks bids for a Schottky type Scanning Electron Microscope with EDS capabilities to support graduate research in materials characterization. Optional Electron Backscatter Diffraction is included.
The New York State College of Ceramics at Alfred University (NYSCC) is soliciting bids for a Schottky type Scanning Electron Microscope (FE-SEM) with Energy Dispersive Spectroscopy (EDS) capabilities. The SEM will be used to characterize microstructures, fracture surfaces, powders, and elemental compositions of materials. The optional Electron Backscatter Diffraction will aid in grain size analysis, phase analysis and determining any texturing (grain orientation) of material samples. This SEM/EDS will support graduate students in their education and research of glass, ceramic and metallic materials with some limited use on certain polymers used in biomaterial work. **Solicitation Type**: IFB - Invitation for Bid (Formal) **Source ID**: PU.AG.USA.1962368.C12227701 **Piggyback Contract**: No **Question Acceptance Deadline**: 06/22/2026 03:30 PM EDT **Questions are submitted online**: Yes **Bid Submission Type**: Electronic Bid Submission **Owner Organization**: NYSCC at Alfred University **Solicitation Number**: 168023 **Reference Number**: 0000427153 **Pricing**: Item Based **Bid Documents List**: | Item Name | Description | Mandatory | Limited to 1 file | |---|---|---|---| | Bid Documents | Documents defining the proposal | No | No |
