About this file

This Requirements/Specification Document details a federal contract opportunity for a 10W Solid State Microwave Amplifier for the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), specifically for the Communications Technology Laboratory's RF Technology Division, Guided Wave Metrology Group. The primary item required is a microwave amplifier with specific technical specifications, including a frequency range of 18-40 GHz, output saturated power over 40 dBm, gain of 42 dB or higher, and compatibility with standard 110V/220 VAC power. A secondary item is a Double Ridge Waveguide to Coaxial Adapter for the 18-40 GHz range.

The document is part of a Sources Sought announcement to identify potential vendors, with NIST seeking responses from all responsible sources, including small businesses across various categories (SB, SDB, WOSB, HUBZone, SDVOSB, VOSB). If at least two qualified small businesses are identified, the procurement will be set aside for small businesses. The NAICS code is 335999 with a small business size standard of 600 employees. Vendors are requested to submit five-page capability statements including company profile, product details, specification sheets, lead times, and small business status verification. The delivery deadline is set for August 31, 2025, with on-site inspection and acceptance expected within 7 business days.
