NNCI Contractors/Consultants

Most NNCI sites desire users to access the facilities on-site, where the user is trained and performs the work themselves, under the guidance of expert staff. However, many sites also offer opportunities for remote (off-site) work, where the site staff performs the work for the user and only materials are exchanged. The guidelines for what remote work is accepted is determined solely by the site itself. 

For those occasions where site staff are unable to perform the remote work, some sites have local, independent contractors/consultants who can perform the work on a fee-for-service basis. These contractors are not formally affiliated with the site but are trained facility users and have expertise in fabrication and/or characterization methods. We provide the list below for information purposes only, and do not endorse nor guarantee the services of these contractors. Potential users of these contractors must do their own due diligence and negotiate terms and conditions of service directly with the contractor.
