About this award
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) awarded a firm fixed-price purchase order valued at $118,891.39 to Technical Communities, Inc. (Testmart Division) on August 20, 2025, for a vector network analyzer to support NIST's Quantum Electronics Group. The contract, designated OU68-25-NEW-105, calls for delivery to Singapore by October 20, 2025. This procurement originated from NIST's market research solicitation seeking a specialized instrument capable of S-parameter measurements across 500 kHz to 13 GHz with at least 2 test ports, 95 dB system dynamic range, and GPIB interface capability to support testbed operations for measuring performance characteristics of superconducting microwave resonators used in quantum computing applications. The award carries no set-aside designation, making it available to all qualifying manufacturers.
Technical Communities, Inc., a small business based in San Mateo, California, is an established supplier of specialized scientific and electronic test and measurement instrumentation to federal agencies. The company operates under multiple Indefinite Delivery Vehicle contracts, including a $1.99 million NIST contract through December 2025 focused on Radio Frequency Arbitrary Waveform Generators and a $9.0 million Federal Aviation Administration contract through April 2027 for signal analyzers. The firm has demonstrated extensive expertise delivering mission-critical equipment to civilian and defense agencies including NASA, the U.S. Air Force, and the Environmental Protection Agency. This purchase order reflects NIST's continued reliance on Technical Communities, Inc. for specialized instrumentation supporting the agency's quantum computing research and metrology programs.
