The FAIR project (Facility for Antiproton and Ion Research) is a collaboration between 16 partner countries at the GSI Helmholtzzentrum für Schwerionenforschung GmbH (GSI) location in Darmstadt to create a state-of-the-art particle accelerator and experiment system for basic research and applied research.

NEG pumps and NEG / ion getter combination pumps are required to create and maintain the vacuum within the FAIR and GSI accelerator systems. The NEG (non-evaporable getter material) is a metal alloy consisting of 3 or 4 components, which is sintered onto a carrier as a porous material. The NEG pumps consist of a cartridge with NEG disks, which are thermally activated by electricity, which are mounted on a CF flange. In the NEG / ion getter combination pumps, these are still combined with an ion getter pump. These pumps are required for various accelerators within the FAIR project and the GSI existing system.

The service description refers to cross-machine procurement, which provides for a framework agreement with a term of 4 years. The bundling allows multiple contracting parties / departments to make bulk calls.
