About this file

This document is a Requirements/Specifications Document for thin-walled adiabatic airlines, which are a crucial component of a microcalorimeter used to perform accurate microwave power measurements. The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) is seeking information from potential vendors, including small businesses, that can provide these specialized items. The document outlines detailed specifications for the 2.4 mm coaxial airlines, including length, connector type, plating, wall thickness, and flange dimensions. It also includes information on non-recurring engineering charges, shipping and delivery requirements, installation, warranty, calibration, maintenance, and government-furnished materials. The associated federal contract opportunity is a sources sought announcement, not a request for quotation, with the purpose of determining if there are qualified small businesses that can meet the requirements. The NAICS code is 334515 for Instrument Manufacturing, and the small business size standard is 750 employees.

Requirements / Specification Document

TITLE: Thin-Walled Adiabatic Airlines

Requesting Laboratory / Division / Group:

Communications Technology Laboratory Radio Frequency Technology Division Guided Wave Electromagnetics Group (672.01)

General Statement of Need:

These are 2.4 mm coaxial airlines with thin outer conductors to reduce thermal conductivity.

These are a crucial part of a microcalorimeter, an instrument that is used to perform accurate, traceable microwave power measurements.

Item Specifications and Quantities:

Item 1: 2.4mm M-F Proto Adiabatic Airline, 6.00 cm Quantity: 9 EACH Specifications: 1.1 Adiabatic lines will have a length of approximately 6 cm from reference plane to reference plane.

1.2 Connectors will conform to IEEE standard 287 for instrument grade general precision connectors (GPC2.4)

1.3 Connector sex of both connectors shall be female.

1.4 Inner surface of the outer conductor and the outer surface of the inner conductor shall be gold-plated to achieve high electrical conductivity and corrosion resistance.

1.5 Geometry of the flange, bead, and connector assembly shall match the “7943 Separate Connector Assembly.easm” mechanical drawing communicated by email on Nov 16, 2023.

1.6 In the thin-walled section, the thickness of the outer conductor shall be approximately 0.3 mm.

1.7 Flange of the bolt-on connector shall be recessed from the flange of the outer-conductor by approximately 1 mil.

1.8 The vendor shall communicate with the SME to confirm

a) Mechanical dimensions of the flange

b) Thickness of the outer conductor prior to manufacture

c) Obtain approval on final mechanical drawings of the part

Item 1: Non-Recurring Engineering Charge Quantity: 1 JOB Specifications: 2.1 Development of airlines

2.2 Changing of wall thickness
