BACKGROUND INFORMATION

NIST requires two (2) 110 GHz extender heads with low frequency extension and integrated bias tees from Keysight, and two (2) 110 GHz extender head desktop positioners. Each item must include a 3-year extender warranty. The extender heads will be used with Keysight PNA-X with a 4-port 110 GHz extender head module. The extender heads will be used for on-wafer probing of integrated circuits. The objective of the requirement is to extend frequency coverage to 110 GHz and enable dc characterization in situ without the need for external bias tees. This requirement supports the NIST CHIPS program to develop and disseminate NIST best practices and algorithms for on-wafer measurement.

SCOPE

The goal of this requirement is to supply 110 GHz extender heads with low frequency extension and integrated bias tees from Keysight for 110 GHz measurement for the microwave materials lab. The contractor shall deliver two (2) 110 GHz extender heads with low frequency extension and integrated bias tees from Keysight, and two (2) 110 GHz extender head desktop positioners. Delivery will be to NIST Boulder, CO. No installation required. Each item must include a 3-year extender warranty.

MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS

The Contractor shall provide a system that meets all technical specifications identified below. All items must be new. Used or remanufactured equipment will not be considered for award. Experimental, prototype, or custom items will not be considered. The use of “gray market” components are not authorized for sale in the U.S. by the Contractor is not acceptable. All line items shall be shipped in the original manufacturer’s packaging and include all original documentation and software, when applicable.

I. DELIVERABLES

Standards of Acceptance: The NIST SME or COR shall review (list deliverable) and respond with an acceptance or request for revision email to the Contractor Point of Contact (POC) within 30 days of receipt of deliverable. This section applies to deliverables which must be reviewed and approved for acceptances (draft plans, drawings, etc.)

II. PERIOD OF PERFORMANCE/LEAD TIME

The period of performance will take approximately 16 weeks ARO.

III. DELIVERY TERMS

Delivery shall be F.O.B Destination and shall occur in accordance with the delivery due dates provided in the above table.

FOB Destination means: The contractor shall pack and mark the shipment in conformance with carrier requirements, deliver the shipment in good order and condition to the point of delivery specified in the purchase order, be responsible for any loss of and/or damage to the goods occurring before receipt and acceptance of the shipment by the consignee at the delivery point specified in the purchase order; and pay all charges to the specified point of delivery. The contractor shall deliver all Line Items to:

DOC/NIST

Shipping & Receiving 325 Broadway.

Boulder, Colorado 80305 Attn: Nathan Orloff, 672.01, 81-1E113

IV. INSPECTION & ACCEPTANCE

In addition to the inspection and acceptance terms articulated in 52.212-4, the Government reserves the right to perform such performance tests and evaluations as defined below to verify specified system performance. Such tests and evaluations, if performed, shall be conducted within the environment that the system is to be operated. The Contractor has the right to be present during the tests and evaluations, if performed, at the Contractor’s expense.

Performance Tests:

1. NIST shall perform and on-wafer calibration with multiline TRL and a series resistor calibration and confirm that the worst-case difference between two independent calibration and two successive calibrations agree to within 0.01 in absolute magnitude.

NIST may choose at its discretion to forego this part of acceptance testing.

A visual inspection of the equipment will be performed by the NIST COR to identify surface defects or any form of indication that any equipment was damaged during transport to NIST. The Government shall have sole discretion to require repair or replacement of damaged and/or nonconforming supplies at no cost to the Government. The Government at any time prior to acceptance shall reject the equipment due to defects and/or nonconformance. The vendor is responsible for latent defects discovered any time after final inspection. However, the extent of its liability shall be prorated over the useful life of the equipment.

Ownership of the equipment shall transfer to NIST upon acceptance by the Government.

The Government will test, inspect, and accept or reject the equipment within 30 days of the receipt of the equipment unless otherwise indicated above. The Government reserves the right to conduct quality assurance testing to confirm that a given instrument(s) meets the manufacturer’s and/or the Government’s performance specifications. It is anticipated that the equipment will meet all manufacturer’s specifications and/or the Government’s performance specifications identified in the most recent operations and maintenance manual for each piece of equipment and/or in this document.

V. WARRANTY

The contractor shall warranty the entire system for a period of a minimum of 3 years after receipt of the equipment and shall be in accordance with terms in FAR 52.212-4. Warranty shall commence upon acceptance of the system by the Government and at a minimum shall include the following:

· Return to Keysight Warranty.

· KeysightCare Assured Support.

VI. PAYMENT SCHEDULE

Advance payment is not authorized. The Contractor must invoice in arrears according to the payment schedule. The Contractor shall be paid 100% upon receipt and technical acceptance with a proper invoice.

NOTE: Partial shipments and partial invoices will not be accepted, unless otherwise requested and accepted by the Contracting Officer prior to award offer. Proposed payment schedules shall be submitted with vendor’s response to the RFQ for consideration.

VII. TRAVEL

a. The contractor shall be responsible for all travel expenses.

VIII. CONTRACTOR SUPPLIED MATERIALS

a. The contractor shall supply all parts, hardware, equipment, and labor required to perform the tasks listed.
