About this file
This is a Sources Sought announcement from the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) for market research on vendors capable of providing a Two-Channel Microwave Signal Generator. NIST is seeking information to determine potential and eligible business firms that can supply this product and to identify whether small business set-aside opportunities exist. The announcement explicitly states this is not a Request for Proposals or Quotation and does not commit the Government to award a contract. No quotes will be accepted, and respondents will not be compensated for information provided.
Interested vendors must submit electronic capability statements limited to four pages or less via email to Contract Specialist Matthew M. Delgado at matthew.delgado@nist.gov by the deadline posted in the notice. Required response information includes: company name providing and manufacturing the product; country of origin or manufacture; specification and data sheets demonstrating experience meeting requirements; typical lead time for product delivery after order receipt; and any other relevant information for specification development. The requirement is classified under NAICS code 334516 (Analytical Laboratory Instrument Manufacturing) with a small business size standard of 1,000 employees. Responses must clearly indicate the country where the product is manufactured. If at least two qualified small businesses are identified during this market research phase, NIST will conduct a small business set-aside solicitation on sam.gov, though responses from all responsible sources of all sizes are currently being sought.
