Statement of Work Automated Probe Systems Maintenance and Warranty

Requesting Laboratory / Division / Group:

Communications Technology Laboratory Radio Frequency Technology Division Guided Wave Electromagnetics Group (672.01)

I. BACKGROUND:

The Guided Wave Electromagnetics Group (672.01)requires a service contract to support two autoprobing systems manufactured by MPI. The service contract will cover repairs to the autoprobing system including thermal chucks, system automation software and mechanical components. The Guided Wave Electromagnetics Group uses these systems to support the Electric-Acoustic Spectrometer NIST-funded project, as well as the Microwave Materials Project, several externally funded projects and supply chain security efforts.

II. PURPOSE:

This service contract will support NIST’s continued use of MPI autoprober systems (TS2000-SE THZ SN P22101009 and TS2000-IFE THZ SN AST101088122) for FY 25, as well as FY26 for device TS2000-SE THZ SN P22101009. These systems are critical to ongoing research at NIST, and timely maintenance and support is critical to supporting NIST’s mission to deliver telecommunications research and metrology to U.S. industry.
