Anritsu frequency extension system brand name only

The National Institute of Standards and Technology seeks procurement of an Anritsu Frequency Extension System on a brand-name-only basis, with quotations due August 31, 2026, and questions due August 27, 2026. The procurement is set aside for small business (1,000 employee threshold) and is full and open competition limited to the specified brand.

Place of performance is Gaithersburg, MD 20899, with acceptance at NIST's Boulder, Colorado facility. The primary deliverable is one Anritsu 3744A-EW High-Frequency VNA Frequency Extension System with extension heads, interconnect cables, control software, and traceable on-wafer calibration kit for frequencies up to 110 GHz, required within 120 days of order receipt. The system must extend NIST's existing Vector Network Analyzer measurement capabilities from 20 GHz to at least 110 GHz (W-band), support minimum 2-port S-parameter measurement operation, provide at least 80 dB dynamic range, and achieve full compatibility with the existing NIST VNA mainframe (ANRI-MS4644B). Line Item 0002 requires Standard Calibration services within 120 days. Three optional line items may be exercised within 12 months: a Broadband and Millimeter-wave Test Set (3739C), a Transmission/Reflection Module (3744-EE), and an MS4644B-182 VNA upgrade with mmWave capability. All items must be new original manufacturer equipment; used, remanufactured, experimental, prototype, custom, or gray-market components are prohibited. Delivery is F.O.B.
