About this opportunity
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has issued a solicitation for a microwave digital lock-in amplifier to support the Photonics and Optomechanics Group within NIST's Physical Measurement Laboratory. The procurement seeks a specialized scientific instrument capable of operating at frequencies of at least 1.8 GHz with the ability to measure amplitude and phase of signals at multiple frequencies and harmonics simultaneously, featuring 2 independent lock-in channels, 14-bit ADC/DAC resolution, and comprehensive software control capabilities. The acquisition is intended to characterize integrated photonic fabrication processes and materials, enhancing semiconductor supply chain metrology capabilities. The government will evaluate proposals using a best value trade-off approach, with technical capability and price serving as the primary evaluation factors. This solicitation was originally posted on July 25, 2025, with responses due by August 1, 2025, though it has since been cancelled and will be reissued, indicating a compressed seven-day submission window for the original timeline.
This procurement operates under full and open competition with no set-aside designation, making it available to all qualified contractors under NAICS code 334516 (Analytical Laboratory Instrument Manufacturing) with a small business size standard of 1,000 employees. The solicitation includes multiple contract line items with a base requirement for the primary lock-in amplifier and optional additions for multifrequency operation, PID controllers, phase-locked loop operation, and signal modulation capabilities. Delivery is specified as F.O.B. Destination to NIST's facility in Gaithersburg, Maryland, with a required delivery timeframe of four months from order placement. Payment terms are structured as 100% upon acceptance, and contractors must provide a minimum 12-month warranty. The contract requires SAM.gov registration and electronic submission of quotations to specified email addresses, with performance occurring at the Gaithersburg, Maryland location.
