Statement of Work Keysight Vector Signal Generator

Background The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) requires a programmable microwave signal generator for performing electron spin resonance (ESR) experiments with an ultra-high vacuum (UHV) scanning probe system (SPM). Measuring and manipulating the quantum state properties of electron spin systems is a critical part of the NIST mission in quantum information science. To fulfill this requirement, NIST requires a programmable microwave signal generator that will provide the necessary approximately 1-40 GHz microwave magnetic field to induce ESR transitions The microwave signal generator must be compatible with and exactly replaceable with an existing Keysight E8267D microwave generator.

Minimum Requirements The system shall meet or exceed the minimum requirements 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 acceptable. All line items shall be shipped in the original manufacturer’s packaging and include all original documentation and software, when applicable.

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.

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 TPOC 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.
