Title: Impedance Analyzer Upgrade Requesting Lab: Physical Measurement Laboratory, 684.06

I. BACKGROUND INFORMATION

The Applied Electrical Metrology group at NIST has a need to upgrade an existing Keysight E4990A impedance analyzer (IA). The IA characterizes the impedance of passive components in an electrical network. The IA will be used at NIST in a metrology setting to measure the impedance of various components within a quantum electrical standard.

11. SCOPE

The Contractor shall deliver a quantity of one (1) Impedance Analyzer frequency extension from 20 MHz to 120 MHz AND one (1) 4-terminal pair to 7 mm adapter with options indicated below, inclusive of FOB Destination delivery, warranty, and accessories listed.

III. MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS

The Contractor shall provide a system that meets all technical specifications identified below. All items must be new. Used or remanufactured equipment will not be considered for award.

Experimental, prototype, or custom items will not be considered. The use of "gray market" components are not authorized for sale in the U.S. by the Contractor is not acceptable. All line items shall be shipped in the original manufacturer's packaging and include all original documentation and software, when applicable.

Line Item 0001:

Description: Impedance Analyzer Frequency Extension Quantity: 1 A. Technical Specifications

1. This is a brand-name only requirement for a Keysight model E4990AU-121 hardware frequency extension. The salient features and specifications for the purposes of this requisition are listed below.

a. Shall increase the upper frequency range of NIST's E4990A impedance analyzer from 20 MHz to 120 MHz.

b. Upgrade shall result in NIST's E4990A having capabilities equal to Keysight model E4990A-120.

Line Item 0002:

Description: 4-terminal pair to 7 mm adapter Quantity: 1 A. Technical Specifications

1. Brand name only requirement for Keysight 42942A with option 42942A-700. The salient features and specifications for the purposes of this requisition are listed below.

a. Shall have an RF port connector of type: 7 mm

b. Shall have calibration kit that includes 7 mm open/short/load termination set

IV. DELIVERABLES

V. PERIOD OF PERFORMANCE/LEAD TIME

120 days ARO

VI. DELIVERY TERMS

Delivery shall be F.O.B Destination and shall occur in accordance with the delivery due dates provided in the above table.

FOB Destination means: The contractor shall pack and mark the shipment in conformance with carrier requirements, deliver the shipment in good order and condition to the point of delivery specified in the purchase order, be responsible for any loss of and/or damage to the goods occurring before receipt and acceptance of the shipment by the consignee at the delivery point specified in the purchase order; and pay all charges to the specified point of delivery. The contractor shall deliver all Line Items to:

National Institute of Standards and Technology Shipping and Receiving 100 Bureau Drive, Building 301 Gaithersburg, MD 20899 C/0 Jason Underwood 220/B148

***Due to ongoing limited site access of the NIST facilities, the Awardee SHALL confirm with the Designated Government Official and the Contracting Officer prior to ANY shipment to NIST***

VII. INSPECTION & ACCEPTANCE

In addition to the inspection and acceptance terms articulated in 52.212-4, the Government reserves the right to perform such performance tests and evaluations as defined below to verify specified system performance. Such tests and evaluations, if performed, shall be conducted within the environment that the system is to be operated. The Contractor has the right to be present during the tests and evaluations, if performed, at the Contractor's expense.

Performance Tests:

Functional test (power-on, configuration changes from touchscreen, options installed) Tests of known impedances (latter will be furnished by NIST)

NIST may choose at its discretion to forego this part of acceptance testing:

A visual inspection of the equipment will be performed by the NIST SME to identify surface defects or any indication that any equipment was damaged during transport to NIST. The Government shall have sole discretion to require repair or replacement of damaged and/or nonconforming supplies at no cost to the Government. The Government at any time prior to acceptance shall reject the equipment due to defects and/or nonconformance. The vendor is responsible for latent defects discovered any time after final inspection. However, the extent of its liability shall be prorated over the useful life of the equipment.

Ownership of the equipment shall transfer to NIST upon acceptance by the Government.

The Government will test, inspect, and accept or reject the equipment within (insert working days it will take to inspect, accept, or reject) of the receipt of the equipment unless otherwise indicated above. The Government reserves the right to conduct quality assurance testing to confirm that a given instrument(s) meets the manufacturer's and/or the Government's performance specifications. It is anticipated that the equipment will meet all manufacturer's specifications and/or the Government's performance specifications identified in the most recent operations and maintenance manual for each piece of equipment and/or in this document.

VIII. WARRANTY

The contractor shall warranty the entire system for a period of a minimum of 1 year after receipt of the equipment and shall be in accordance with terms in FAR 52.212-4. At least a one-year warranty shall apply. Warranty shall commence upon acceptance of the system by the Government.

IX. PAYMENT SCHEDULE

Advance payment is not authorized. The Contractor must invoice in arrears according to the payment schedule. The Contractor shall be paid, in accordance with Net 30-day payment terms, upon receipt and acceptance of a proper invoice, in accordance with the following schedule:

100% after receipt of equipment, completion of acceptance testing and final approval by the SME.

NOTE: Partial shipments and partial invoices will not be accepted, unless otherwise requested and accepted by the Contracting Officer prior to award offer. Proposed payment schedules shall be submitted with vendor's response to the RFQ for consideration.
