STATEMENT OF WORK

Title: Lock-in amplifier Lab: CTL

I. BACKGROUND INFORMATION

Microwave acoustic resonators are widely used to filter signals on multiple frequency bands for mobile communications (>$3B/year U.S. economic revenue). To predict filter performance, industry makes computational models that rely on measurements of the electro-mechanical properties of piezoelectric materials. Currently, piezoelectric modeling uses materials properties assessed at static and low frequency electric and acoustic fields. These models are not sufficient to predict the performance of individual devices and the final integrated product, which typically operate between 1 GHz and 7 GHz and are planned to go beyond 30 GHz. [1] Complete models and measurements of piezoelectric materials will produce filters with higher performance and tighter design specifications. To this end, we require a lock-in amplifier and an arbitrary waveform generator to create signals for a laser doppler vibrometer measurement setup. This system will allow us to prototype electrical devices in Boulder and build experiments that can be completed in Gaithersburg to be combined with acoustic measurements.

II. PURPOSE

We require a lock-in amplifier and arbitrary waveform generator to create signals for a laser doppler vibrometer measurement setup. These devices will produce signals and demodulate them to measure the electrical response associated with surface vibrations in acoustic filter devices. The working principle of the lock-in amplifier relies on demodulation or phase-sensitive detection. The arbitrary waveform generator produces electrical signals of arbitrary shape. The complexity of the signal is defined by the number of samples per second the devices can produce.

Complete the table providing the information for all the tasks identified above.

Place of Delivery

Standards of Acceptance: The NIST TPOC shall review all the above deliverables and respond with an acceptance or request for revision email to the Contractor Point of Contact (POC) within 30 days/weeks of receipt of deliverable. This section applies to deliverables which must be reviewed and approved for acceptances (e.g., draft plans, drawings, etc.)

PLACE OF PERFORMANCE

b. The system shall be delivered to Building 1.

PERIOD OF PERFORMANCE

The period of performance will take approximately 12 weeks ARO.

V. DELIVERY TERMS

Delivery shall be F.O.B Destination (or equivalent incoterms, such as DDP) and shall occur in accordance with the delivery due dates provided in the below table.

FOB Destination means: The contractor shall pack and mark the shipment in conformance with carrier requirements, deliver the shipment in good order and condition to the point of delivery specified in the purchase order, be responsible for any loss of and/or damage to the goods occurring before receipt and acceptance of the shipment by the consignee at the delivery point specified in the purchase order; and pay all charges to the specified point of delivery.

The contractor shall deliver all Line Items to:

DOC/NIST

Shipping & Receiving 325 Broadway MS 672.01 Room 01-4639 Attn: TBD Boulder, CO 80305

VI. INSPECTION & ACCEPTANCE

In addition to the inspection and acceptance terms articulated in the specific FAR clause that allows the Government reserves the right to perform such performance tests and evaluations as defined below to verify specified system performance. Such tests and evaluations, if performed, shall be conducted within the environment that the system is to be operated. The Contractor has the right to be present during the tests and evaluations, if performed, at the Contractor’s expense.

NIST may choose at its discretion to forego this part of acceptance testing.

A visual inspection of the equipment will be performed by the NIST POC to identify surface defects or any form of indication that any equipment was damaged during transport to NIST. The Government shall have sole discretion to require repair or replacement of damaged and/or nonconforming supplies at no cost to the Government. The Government at any time prior to acceptance shall reject the equipment due to defects and/or nonconformance. The vendor is responsible for latent defects discovered any time after final inspection. However, the extent of its liability shall be prorated over the useful life of the equipment.

Ownership of the equipment shall transfer to NIST upon acceptance by the Government.

The Government will test, inspect, and accept or reject the equipment within (insert working days it will take to inspect, accept, or reject) of the receipt of the equipment unless otherwise indicated above. The Government reserves the right to conduct quality assurance testing to confirm that a given instrument(s) meets the manufacturer’s and/or the Government’s performance specifications. It is anticipated that the equipment will meet all manufacturer’s specifications and/or the Government’s performance specifications identified in the most recent operations and maintenance manual for each piece of equipment and/or in this document.

VII. WARRANTY

The contractor shall warranty the entire system for a period of a minimum of 1 year in accordance with terms in FAR 52.212-4. Warranty shall commence upon acceptance of the system by the Government and at a minimum shall include the following: the full performance of the equipment to specifications of the manufacturer including shipping costs for repair.

VIII. CYBERSECURITY PRIVACY REQUIREMENTS

NIST seeks a solution that provides security and privacy protection consistent with requirements defined by applicable federal laws, regulations, policies, and standards (e.g., the Federal Information Security Management Act (FISMA), OMB Circular A-130, and FIPS Publication 200). The solution provider (including subcontractors) may meet these requirements through various means, including but not limited to FedRAMP authorization, current third-party assessments (e.g., SSAE, PCI), and/or responses to NIST special publication control set SP 800-171.

Minimally Acceptable Controls

· System security plan describing physical, technical, and administrative controls implemented to protect systems and sensitive personally identifiable information (SPII).

· IT management processes to establish and manage secure configuration baselines including routine patching for all operating systems and applications.

· Access to SPII is restricted to those with a need to know. Personnel with access to SPII have background investigations performed (e.g. criminal, financial etc.), and are trained on secure handling of SPII.

· Access Controls for SPII meet or exceed industry best practices for access and identification control including, but not limited to, connectivity to servers and databases, multi-factor authentication for remote accesses for administration, secure configurations for any devices accessing the system, and strong physical security for any place where the data is accessed.

· The solution supports multifactor authentication for users and/or supports integration with customer federation services for Single-Sign capability.

· Processes for scanning on a continual basis for vulnerabilities and proper configurations for all aspects of the system, as well as processes for timely mitigation of findings.

· Auditing and Incident Response processes including customer notification of suspected or actual incidents and logging with sufficient information to perform forensics on any incident. Processes for notifying and providing appropriate mitigations, including but not limited to credit monitoring services, for subsidy applicants in the event of suspected or actual incidents.

· SPII is encrypted in transit using TLS 1.2 or better and encrypted at rest in all places the SPII is stored. All encryption algorithms and modules are FIPS 140-2/140-3 validated.

If unable to meet any of the requirements listed above, the solution provider may provide details of mitigations or alternative protections in place to ensure the appropriate handling and protection of SPII.

If the solution provider provides services to other Federal agencies, provide a general description of the security risk management approach and client point of contact.
