The National Institute of Standards and Technology awarded a purchase order to Spectradynamics Inc. on August 18, 2026, for $93,720.00 to supply time scale synthesizers, with completion by November 18, 2026. Spectradynamics is a Hispanic American-owned small disadvantaged business and manufacturer of high-performance instrumentation. Work is performed in Superior, Colorado. The order procures time scale synthesizers that generate continuous high-precision time scale outputs from atomic clock reference signals with very low additive phase noise (less than 100 dB/Hz at 1 Hz offset or ADEV of less than 3e-13), deterministic phase tunability at microradians or lower, and phase-continuous operation during frequency and phase adjustments. Input reference frequency must support 10 MHz (preferred) or 5 MHz at 50 Ohm termination with programmable fractional frequency tuning greater than 1e-10 and precision of 1e-17 or better. Phase programmability resolution must be less than 1 picosecond. Equipment features at least two radio-frequency outputs at +10 dBm minimum and one pulse-per-second output capable of driving 3V into 50 Ohm, accepts 120V or 208V AC at 60 Hz plus 24V DC backup power, mounts in standard 19-inch EIA racks with width under 482.6 mm, and communicates via RS-232, USB, or Ethernet. The order originated from a sources-sought opportunity posted July 21, 2026, with responses due July 31, 2026.
