STATEMENT OF WORK

Title: Fabry Perot resonators and microwave components

BACKGROUND INFORMATION

The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Guided Wave Electromagnetics Group within the RF Technology Division of the Communications Technology Laboratory requires D-band waveguide Fabry Perot, G-band Fabry Perot, J-band Fabry Perot, Coaxial Fabry Perot, two (2) two channel precision SMU, and three (3) single channel. All equipment must include a 1-year warranty with maintenance. The Fabry Perot resonators will be used for complex permittivity measurements to 330 GHz. The objective of the requirement is to enable traceable complex permittivity to 330 GHz and provide known permittivity measurements for on-wafer traceability for S-parameters, Power, and Phase. This requirement supports the NIST CHIPS program to develop and disseminate NIST best practices and algorithms for complex permittivity and on-wafer measurement.

PURPOSE

The required work provides the necessary permittivity measurement equipment to develop a traceability path for complex permittivity from 20 GHz to 330 GHz. The objective is to deliver D-band waveguide Fabry Perot, G-band Fabry Perot, J-band Fabry Perot, Coaxial Fabry Perot, two (2) two channel precision SMU, three (3) single channel.

SCHEDULE OF DELIVERABLES

Standards of Acceptance: The NIST Technical Point of Contact (TPOC) and Contracting Officer’s Representative (COR) shall review all the above deliverables and respond with an acceptance or request for revision email to the Contractor Point of Contact (POC) within 30 days.

DELIVERY TERMS

Delivery shall be F.O.B Destination (or equivalent incoterms, such as DDP) 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:

National Institute of Standards and Technology Shipping and Receiving 325 Broadway Boulder, Colorado 80305 ATTN: Nathan Orloff

INSPECTION & ACCEPTANCE

In addition to the inspection and acceptance terms articulated in the specific FAR clause that allows 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. Measure fused silica coupons for Fabry Perot

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 and 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.

I. WARRANTY

The contractor shall warranty the entire system for a period of a minimum of 1 years after acceptance of the equipment and shall be in accordance with terms in RFO 52.212-4. Warranty shall commence upon acceptance of the system by the Government and at a minimum shall include the following:

· First year full warranty and return to manufacturer

PAYMENT SCHEDULE

The Contractor will be paid, in accordance with the payments clause in the contract and as otherwise noted in this document, upon receipt of a proper invoice.

1. 100% after installation and acceptance by the TPOC of fully installed system, AND

2. After the successful completion of the testing requirements set forth in this document, AND

3. After successful demonstration by the instrumentation that it performs in accordance with the requirements set forth in this document.

CYBERSECURITY PRIVACY REQUIREMENTS

NIST seeks a solution that provides security and privacy protection consistent with requirements defined by applicable federal laws, regulations, policies, and standards (e.g., the Federal Information Security Management Act (FISMA), OMB Circular A-130, and FIPS Publication 200). The solution provider (including subcontractors) may meet these requirements through various means, including but not limited to FedRAMP authorization, current third-party assessments (e.g., SSAE, PCI), and/or responses to NIST special publication control set SP 800-171.

Minimally Acceptable Controls

· System security plan describing physical, technical, and administrative controls implemented to protect systems and sensitive personally identifiable information (SPII).

· IT management processes to establish and manage secure configuration baselines including routine patching for all operating systems and applications.

· Access to SPII is restricted to those with a need to know. Personnel with access to SPII have background investigations performed (e.g. criminal, financial etc.), and are trained on secure handling of SPII.

· Access Controls for SPII meet or exceed industry best practices for access and identification control including, but not limited to, connectivity to servers and databases, multi-factor authentication for remote accesses for administration, secure configurations for any devices accessing the system, and strong physical security for any place where the data is accessed.

· The solution supports multifactor authentication for users and/or supports integration with customer federation services for Single-Sign capability.

· Processes for scanning on a continual basis for vulnerabilities and proper configurations for all aspects of the system, as well as processes for timely mitigation of findings.

· Auditing and Incident Response processes including customer notification of suspected or actual incidents and logging with sufficient information to perform forensics on any incident. Processes for notifying and providing appropriate mitigations, including but not limited to credit monitoring services, for subsidy applicants in the event of suspected or actual incidents.

· SPII is encrypted in transit using TLS 1.2 or better and encrypted at rest in all places the SPII is stored. All encryption algorithms and modules are FIPS 140-2/140-3 validated.

If unable to meet any of the requirements listed above, the solution provider may provide details of mitigations or alternative protections in place to ensure the appropriate handling and protection of SPII.

If the solution provider provides services to other Federal agencies, provide a general description of the security risk management approach and client point of contact.
