About this IDV
The National Institute of Standards and Technology awarded a single-award indefinite delivery contract valued at $2.637 million to Octosig Consulting Inc., a Canadian for-profit technical services firm specializing in precision time and frequency metrology. The contract, awarded April 12, 2021, with completion scheduled for April 14, 2025, establishes a vehicle for NIST to procure advanced technical services and research assistance focused on frequency comb phase control and applications. The scope encompasses development of advanced control algorithms and real-time processing systems for optical frequency comb-based technologies, specifically supporting time-transfer and dual-comb spectroscopy applications. Work is performed primarily at Octosig's facility in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada, with secondary performance locations in Boulder, Colorado. The contract utilizes firm fixed-price delivery order pricing and includes no set-aside designations.
Five delivery orders totaling approximately $2.2 million have been issued against this indefinite delivery vehicle to date, addressing specialized technical work in precision measurement science. Delivery orders issued include: $561,900 (September 2024, completion March 2026) for frequency comb phase control research; $270,000 (April 2023, completion October 2024) for phase control and technical services; $200,000 (September 2022, completion March 2024) for frequency comb applications supporting the calibration and time laboratory; $143,700 (September 2021, completion July 2022) for control algorithms and real-time processing with a no-cost extension for pandemic-related delays; and $102,000 (June 2021, completion December 2022) for phase-stepped control upgrades and field testing related to over-the-horizon radar and data collection systems. Collectively, these efforts support NIST's mission to advance measurement science and standards development in optical time-frequency transfer, dual-comb spectroscopy, and optical atomic clock technologies.
