About this file
The document is a Requirements/Specification Document for a 50 GHz Vector Signal Generator, issued by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) for the Superconducting Electronics Group. The equipment is needed for quantum computing research and measurement, specifically to generate modulated high-frequency pulses for controlling quantum bits. Key technical specifications include a frequency output greater than 50 GHz, maximum output power above +5 dBm, external I/Q modulation with bandwidth >1GHz at 50 GHz, and the ability to extend to 100 GHz in a future purchase.
This is a Sources Sought announcement for market research to determine potential vendors, with a potential small business set-aside if at least two qualified small businesses are identified. The solicitation is assigned NAICS code 334515 with a small business size standard of 750 employees. Interested businesses are asked to submit five-page capability statements including company profile, product details, specification sheets, lead times, small business status, and country of origin information. The procurement is not a formal Request for Quotation and does not commit the government to an immediate contract award, but may lead to a competitive procurement on sam.gov.
