Brand Name - Millimeter Wave Wideband Analysis Software RFQ

The National Institute of Standards and Technology seeks to procure software licenses for Keysight Technologies' Millimeter Wave Wideband Analysis software to expand existing research capabilities. NIST requires the proprietary software to support its Radio Frequency Fields Group research into supply chain security using radio frequency signatures. Quotations for the firm fixed price purchase order are due by the specified closing date and time in the RFQ and will be evaluated based on price and technical acceptability to ensure the requirements are met.

The solicitation does not include any set-aside designations. The specifications request two software licenses expanding the bandwidth range to 40MHz to 2.16GHz while reducing capture time. Performance will take place at NIST facilities in Boulder, Colorado or Gaithersburg, Maryland. Training and installation are also required to be provided. The budget range was not specified but would likely be in the tens of thousands given the need for multiple specialized software licenses and associated services from the sole brand name provider.
