About this opportunity
The National Institute of Standards and Technology seeks ten atomic clock systems to support ensemble time scales—five units for Gaithersburg and five for Boulder—with quotations due September 5. This procurement is issued as a Request for Quotation (RFQ) with solicitation number NB688000-26-02391.
Place of performance is Boulder, Colorado (325 Broadway) and Gaithersburg, Maryland (100 Bureau Drive). Each ensemble will consist of at least five independent atomic clocks whose outputs are intercompared and averaged to reduce bias, noise, and single-clock dependency. The performance goal for each ensemble is time dispersion in holdover of less than 1.2 nanoseconds per day as random walk. The NAICS code is 334519, Other Measuring and Controlling Device Manufacturing; PSC code is 6640, Laboratory Equipment and Supplies.
Delivery is F.O.B. destination to both NIST locations, with the contractor bearing all shipping costs and responsibility for loss or damage prior to delivery. Offerors must submit completed past performance questionnaires from prior clients evaluating work across quality, schedule and timeliness, customer satisfaction, management and personnel, cost and financial management, and safety and security. End products must be U.S.-made or designated country products per FAR Part 25, Trade Agreements Act. Invoices must be submitted electronically to INVOICE@NIST.GOV and through the U.S. Treasury's Invoice Processing Platform.
