About this file

This is a Requirements/Specification Document for NIST's procurement of a 5G Cellular Base Station system from Ericsson to modernize the Spectrum Technology and Research Division's measurement and antenna calibration methodologies.

The procurement includes ten line items totaling an Ericsson 5G C-band Next-Generation NodeB (gNB) system with advanced RF features and beamforming capabilities. Item 1 specifies two Radio AIR 6419 B77D units with circular power connectors and beamforming processing. Item 2 requires 40 NR TDD M-MIMO Cell Carriers with 10 MHz bandwidth increments. Item 3 is a comprehensive power supply set including two 3kW PSU units, one 6kW power unit, multiple circuit breakers, cables, and a controller. Item 4 is a GPS kit with L1/L5 antennas, sealing sets, grounding kits, and associated cable assemblies. Item 5 comprises two site material packages for 20-meter sectors including SFP28 transceivers, cable clamps, grounding kits, and mounting brackets. Item 6 is a RAN Processor 6655 with 300 CBW and 12-layer M-MIMO capability including mounting sets and signal/power cables. Items 7 through 10 cover software (Q4.2025 with 100 MHz packages including eMBB and Massive MIMO enablers), a three-year software subscription, a three-year customer support package, and engineering services including integration, commissioning, and 40 hours of onsite support.

The procurement requires delivery within three months after receipt of order to NIST-Boulder, 325 Broadway, Boulder, CO 80305. Installation requirements include vendor technician onsite presence, uncrating/unpackaging, and turnkey installation with engineering services. Training for 10 trainees covers operation, maintenance, troubleshooting, and safety via both onsite and virtual delivery. A three-year manufacturer warranty covering labor, parts, and travel is specified with returns within five business days. A 3-year maintenance plan includes software updates. Inspection and acceptance will occur onsite within 7 business days through basic functional testing and key performance indicator verification. Vendors must possess an active Export Control Classification Number (ECCN) and an active Unique Entity Identification Number (UEI) on SAM.gov at time of award. US citizens are required onsite with foreign nationals requiring 30-day preregistration. NIST will furnish a 19-inch rack and current generation handsets as government-furnished material.
