About this opportunity
The National Institute of Standards and Technology seeks firm-fixed-price quotations for brand-name Ericsson 5G cellular base station equipment and support services, with quotations due August 20, 2026 at 5 p.m. MDT (amended from August 18). This is an unrestricted RFQ for commercial products and services under FAR Part 12, with questions due August 13.
The procurement is justified by brand name only; NIST's mission requires Ericsson equipment and software compatible with its existing RAN test environment to study and characterize antenna patterns and emissions, analyze cellular emissions topology within the United States, and develop measurement techniques to evaluate Ericsson systems. Alternative equipment would lack relevance and validity for real-world outdoor measurement correlation.
The scope comprises ten line items: two Radio AIR 6419 B77D units with power connectors, forty NR TDD M-MIMO Cell Carriers with 10 MHz bandwidth increments, one Power Supply, one GPS Kit, two Site Material packages for 20-meter sectors, one RAN Processor 6655 with 300 CBW and 12-layer M-MIMO, one Software Q4.2025 package at 100 MHz, one three-year Software Subscription, one three-year Customer Support Package, and one three-year Engineering Services engagement including integration, commissioning, and forty hours of onsite support. Delivery is required within three months of order receipt to NIST-Boulder, 325 Broadway, Boulder, Colorado 80305.
Quotations must include three volumes: technical capability demonstrating specification compliance and delivery capability, firm-fixed-price including all shipping and delivery costs, and terms and conditions. Award will be made to the responsible quoter offering the lowest priced, technically acceptable quotation. All quoters must maintain active SAM.gov registration at submission through final payment. The NAICS code is 334220 with a small business size standard of 1,250 employees. Quotations must be submitted electronically to Contracting Officer Clifford Nicholson at clifford.nicholson@nist.gov.
