About this file

This Requirements and Specifications document details NIST's need for external hardware for ZCU-216 RFSoC (Radio Frequency System-on-Chip) boards for the Advanced Microwave Photonics Group's quantum measurement research. The primary requirement is for two sets of daughter boards and enclosures with specific technical specifications: 4 output channels from DC to >1GHz, 12 output channels from 1-8GHz, and 4 input channels from 4-8GHz. The hardware must be compatible with the open-source QICK firmware and include physical enclosures with connector feedthrough, TTL signal ports, and DAC interfaces.

Key procurement details include a two-year warranty, delivery and installation within 8 weeks after receipt of order, and planned government acceptance testing over 7 business days. This is a sources sought notice for market research to determine potential vendors, with a preference for small business set-aside if at least two qualified small businesses are identified. The procurement is under NAICS code 334516 (Analytical Laboratory Instrument Manufacturing) with a small business size standard of 1,000 employees. Interested vendors are requested to submit four-page capability statements including manufacturing origin, product specifications, lead times, and relevant experience.

TITLE: External Hardware for ZCU-216 Boards Requesting Lab/Division/Group: Physical Measurements Lab, Applied Physics Division, Advanced Microwave Photonics Group

NB686050-25-02332

General Statement of Need The Advanced Microwave Photonics Group performs complex qubit and resonator measurement at ultra-low temperature. Current projects involve high-throughput measurements of device quantum coherence and include the development of standard practices for such measurement with the goal to disseminate these standard practices to the community, which is a core NIST mission. To that end, our group uses ZCU216 RFSoC control boards that are compatible with the open-source firmware QICK. We would like to acquire new “daughter” boards to remap the input/output channels of the ZCU216 to meet specific requirements, as well as enclosures that non only protect the boards but also add functionalities (like TTL signals and dc-bias), while maintaining compatibility with the QICK firmware.

The contractor shall deliver enclosures and daughter boards for two ZCU-216 RFSoC (owned by NIST) enabling at least the following requirements: 4 output channels with frequency range from DC to >1GHz, 12 output channels with a frequency range including 1-8GHz, 4 input channels with a frequency range including 4-8GHz. Enclosures and boards must come with all connectors and items necessary for assembly and operation (ZCU216 boards not included) and be compatible with the QICK firmware.
