About this opportunity
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), a civilian agency within the Department of Commerce, has issued a Special Notice for phased array antenna receive modules used in RF channel propagation measurements. The notice is a combined Sources Sought Notice and Notice of Intent to Sole Source, targeting specialized semiconductor and laboratory equipment manufacturing. NIST currently intends to issue a sole source award to Extreme Waves, Inc. under FAR 13.106-1(b), but is seeking to confirm if other capable sources exist in the market. The opportunity is categorized under NAICS code 333242 for Semiconductor Machinery Manufacturing and PSC code 6640 for Laboratory Equipment and Supplies. Market research conducted in Q1 2025 initially identified only Extreme Waves, Inc. as meeting the specific technical requirements.
Contractors interested in this opportunity must submit detailed company information demonstrating their capabilities by January 23, 2025, at 11:00 a.m. Eastern Time. The required modules must feature precise technical specifications, including a 256-element phased array (16x16 elements), dual polarization, 15 GHz center frequency with 12-18 GHz operational bandwidth, and full phase and amplitude state control. Participants must provide comprehensive documentation including company capabilities, authorization status, small business classification, federal contract experience, and any potential concerns about the stated requirements. The modules must also include power supplies, controllers, a serial interface for antenna switching, maintain a 3-5 dB noise figure, and be compatible with MATLAB software. NIST is conducting this market research to validate whether alternative sources can meet the unique and specialized technical specifications for these antenna receive modules.
