About this file

This is a Requirements/Specification Document for the procurement of precision calibration artifacts by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), Communications Technology Laboratory, Radio Frequency Technology Division, located in Boulder, Colorado.

The procurement consists of five main items: (1) a 0.5 mm Precision Offset Short Calibration Kit in disassembled state containing at least 12 offset short calibration artifacts (6 male and 6 female) manufactured to metrology grade specifications with design performance across 5 GHz to 260 GHz, along with measured mechanical data with k=2 uncertainties; (2) assembly services for the offset short components after NIST completes dimensional metrology; (3) a Precision Short Open Load Kit containing lowband loads, offset opens, and flush shorts in both male and female 0.5 mm connector types, plus torque wrenches, all fabricated as metrology grade components; (4) one set of spare components for dimensioning including pre-slotted female center conductors and spare male and female center conductors; and (5) one set of assembled test port adapters in 0.5 mm (1 male, 1 female) of metrology grade. The procurement involves a three-stage process: manufacturing, dimensional metrology performed by NIST, and assembly. Item 1 should be delivered independently of Items 3-5, while Item 2 (assembly) depends on return of Item 1 from NIST and must be completed within 10 weeks of receipt. Vendors must possess an Export Control Classification Number (ECCN) and an active Unique Entity Identification Number (UEI) registered on SAM.gov at time of award. On-site inspection and acceptance is required and expected to exceed 7 business days, with 60 days allocated for the acceptance period. Base manufacturer warranty is acceptable. No training, installation, facility utilities, calibration, or maintenance requirements are specified.

Requirements / Specification Document

TITLE: 0.5 mm Offset Short Primary Calibration Kit Requesting Laboratory / Division / Group:

Communications Technology Laboratory Radio Frequency Technology Division Guided Wave Electromagnetics Group (672.03)

General Statement of Need:

The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), CTL/RFT, in Boulder, CO has a requirement to produce broadband electrical calibration artifacts as part of its calibration service for scattering parameter traceability from dc up to 250 GHz. Precision manufactured calibration artifacts are required to maintain accurate traceable calibrations for internal and external customers.

To achieve traceability for microwave frequencies, a series of offset short devices will need to be provided in a disassembled state so that dimensional metrology staff at NIST can measure them. Then the parts will need to be re-assembled to complete the microwave verification kit.

Item Specifications and Quantities:

Item 1: Precision Offset Short Calibration Kit in 0.5 mm Connector Type

Quantity: 1 EACH

Specifications: 1.1 Disassembled

1.2 Shall contain at least six offset short calibration artifacts of each connector sex (12 total: 6 male and 6 female).

1.3 Manufactured with metrology grade dimensional

specifications.

1.4 Offset short lengths shall be designed such that the kit

performs calibrations in the range of 5 GHz to 260 GHz.

1.5 Measured mechanical data with k=2 uncertainties

Item 2: Assembly of Offset Short Components

Quantity: 1 JOB

Specifications: 2.1 Assembly of the offset short components (Item 1).

2.2 Assembly process will occur after NIST performs dimensional metrology on the components.

Item 3: Precision Short Open Load Kit

Draf t

Quantity: 1 KIT

Specifications: 3.1 Lowband load - male 0.5 mm

3.2 Lowband load - female 0.5 mm

3.3 Offset open - male 0.5 mm

3.4 Offset open - female 0.5 mm

3.5 Flush short - male 0.5 mm

3.7 Components shall be fabricated as metrology grade

components. In addition, the

3.8 Kit shall contain relevant torque wrenches

Item 4: Spare Components for Dimensioning

Quantity: 1 SET

Specifications: 4.1 0.5 mm connector type

4.2 Pre-slotted female center conductor

4.3 Slotted and plated but not heat-treated/formed

4.4 Spare male center conductors

4.5 Spare female center conductors

Item 5: Test Port Adapters in 0.5 mm

Quantity: 1 SET

5.2 Metrology grade

Vendor Requirements

1. Possess at time of award/contracting an Export Control Classification Number (ECCN).

2. Possess at time of award/contracting a Unique Entity Identification Number (UEI) which registration is listed as “Active” on the GSA System for Award Management (SAM.gov).

Section Requirements/Specifications

Planning Considerations

☐ List any visits required to allow potential vendors to see site specific constraints.

☐ N/A [Explain Requirements.]

☐ US citizen required on-site (foreign nationals require pre-registration 30 days prior to visit.)

☐ Vendor Representative On-Site more than three (3) days.

☒ Other Considerations:

This procurement has three stages:

1) manufacturing,

2) dimensioning at NIST, and

3) assembly of parts.

Since step 2 depends on NIST timelines outside of the vendor’s control, the vendor timelines should be considered separately, and there should be partial payment and partial delivery.
