STATEMENT OF WORK

Uninterruptible Power Supply Systems

U.S. Department of Commerce

National Telecommunications and Information Administration

Institute for Telecommunication Sciences

1. BACKGROUND

The Institute for Telecommunication Sciences (ITS) provides research and development support for the

National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) by performing basic research in radio science that provides the technical foundation for NTIA’s policy development and spectrum management activities, as well as solves telecommunications challenges for other Federal agencies, state and local Governments, private corporations and associations, and international organizations.

Additionally, ITS addresses emerging telecommunications, information technology, and security challenges and contributes to the creation of telecommunications standards that support the full and fair competitiveness of the U.S. communications and information technology business sectors.

2. OBJECTIVE

The ITS Federal Advanced Communications Test Site (FACTS) program requires four radio-frequency power amplifiers to boost the output signal of signal generators and software-defined radios to more accurately synthesize 5G/xG output signals. These RF power amps increase the transmission distance of these synthesized signals to enable more accurate spectrum sharing scenarios.

3. REQUIREMENTS

Four RF Power Amps are required with the minimum characteristics defined below:

Specification Minimum Requirement

Quantity 4

Frequency Range 2 to 18 GHz

Small signal gain 50 dB

P1dB 40 dB

Psat 45 dB

Gain variation over frequency range ± 5 dB

Output connector N-type

Power Supply Voltage +48V DC

Impedance 50 ohms

Operating Temperature Range -40 to +60°C

Fast-blanking on/off time(s) Off (1µs), On (25 µs)

3.1. Authorized Reseller Requirement

The Contractor shall be an authorized reseller, distributor, or partner of record for all equipment, software, or services provided under this contract. The Contractor shall, upon request, furnish documentation from the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) or supplier confirming its authorized status. All products must be new and procured through authorized distribution channels.

4. PLACE OF PERFORMANCE

All items shall be shipped FOB-Destination. The government will not accept any freight charges above and beyond the awarded amount. The equipment shall be delivered to the following government shipping address:

NTIA/ITS.M

325 Broadway

Boulder, CO 80305

5. PERIOD OF PERFORMANCE

The equipment shall be delivered within 180 days after receipt of order (“ARO”); provided, however, that this timeframe is contingent upon manufacturer availability and may be subject to delays caused by supply chain disruptions or other circumstances beyond the seller’s control.

All items will be tested and verified for compliance with specifications prior to payment of the invoice.

The seller may not submit an invoice until no sooner than fourteen (14) calendar days following delivery, to allow sufficient time for inspection and verification by the buyer.
