About this file
This Requirements and Specifications Document details a procurement for cryogenic low-noise microwave amplifiers for the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). The Advanced Microwave Photonics Group requires 4 total amplifiers - 2 in the 4-8GHz frequency band and 2 in the 1-12GHz band - to be used with recently purchased dilution refrigerators for quantum microwave experiments. The amplifiers must operate at 4 Kelvin temperatures, have over 35dB gain, consume less than 40mW of power, and include DC bias power supplies. Specific technical requirements include SMA female input/output connectors, female nanoD bias connectors, and noise temperature specifications varying by frequency band.
Delivery terms are F.O.B. Destination to NIST's Shipping and Receiving at 325 Broadway BLVD in Boulder, CO 80305, with a delivery timeline of 8 weeks after receipt of order. The contractor must provide a 1-year warranty and will be paid 100% upon order completion under Net 30-day payment terms. Importantly, due to limited site access, the awardee must confirm shipment with the Designated Government Official and Contracting Officer prior to delivery. The procurement is categorized under NAICS code 334515 (Instrument Manufacturing for Measuring and Testing Electricity and Electrical Signals) with a small business size standard of 750 employees.

REQUIREMENTS AND SPECIFICATIONS DOCUMENT
Title: Cryogenic hardware for quantum computing measurement system Requesting Lab: PML, Applied Physics Division, group 05
I. BACKGROUND INFORMATION
The Advanced Microwave Photonics Group performs highly sensitive quantum microwave experiments at cryogenic temperatures that require low noise microwave amplification for readout of quantum signals. The group recently purchased two dilution refrigerators (award 1333ND24PNB680135) that need to be equipped with two cryogenic low-noise microwave amplifiers (each) at the 4 Kelvin stage.
Purpose/Objective: Acquisition of 4 cryogenic low-noise microwave amplifiers
II. SCOPE
The contractor shall deliver 4 cryogenic low-noise microwave amplifiers that can operate at the 4 Kelvin stage of a dilution refrigerators (actual temperature down to 2 Kelvin). These amplifiers must be able to operate continuously for a year at a time, using only dc-voltage and dc-current bias. These amplifiers must have over 35dB of gain, with bandwidth and noise requirements specific to each cryostat and listed below. The amplifiers must be connectorized with SMA female connectors on the input/output and the bias port must be a 9-pin nano-D connectors for compatibility with existing wiring. Power consumption shall not exceed 40mW per amplifier. Power supplies and Power blocks shall be included in this purchase. Multi-channel power supplies will be considered as both cryostat will be in close vicinity. DC wiring from room temperature to the 4K stage of the cryostat is outside of the scope (already included in the cryostat).
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.
