This Statement of Work (SOW) details requirements for a High-Power Broadband RF Amplifier for the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) in Boulder, Colorado. The amplifier is needed for a research project called "RF Waveform and Rapid Frequency-Comb Diagnostics for Plasma Etching" within NIST's metrology program, specifically aimed at developing techniques for fundamental electromagnetic metrology.

Key technical specifications include the ability to produce signals from 10 kHz to 220 MHz, with a maximum power output of approximately 5 kW (minimum 3 kW). The contractor must provide a new amplifier that can be terminated at arbitrary impedance without damage, can reproduce waveforms faithfully, and will be delivered to NIST within 30 weeks of order receipt. The delivery includes installation, training for up to five users, and a minimum 3-year warranty. Payment will be 100% after installation and acceptance, with additional payment contingent on successful performance demonstration. Cybersecurity requirements include comprehensive security and privacy protections consistent with federal standards.
