About this opportunity
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) is seeking a microwave digital lock-in amplifier through solicitation number 1333ND25QNB030285R for their Photonics and Optomechanics Group within the Physical Measurement Laboratory. The procurement requires a highly specialized commercial instrument capable of operating at frequencies up to 1.8 GHz with two independent lock-in channels, 14-bit ADC/DAC resolution, and the ability to measure amplitude and phase of RF signals for characterizing integrated photonic fabrication processes. The solicitation includes multiple contract line items covering the base amplifier, simultaneous multifrequency operation, optional PID controllers with phase-locked loop operation, and optional signal modulation and analysis capabilities. Evaluation will be conducted using a best value trade-off methodology that prioritizes technical capability and price, with quotations required to be submitted electronically via email. The deadline for responses is September 15, 2025, just seven days after the posting date of September 8, 2025.
This procurement is conducted under full and open competition with no set-aside designations, utilizing simplified acquisition procedures under FAR Part 13 with a small business size standard of 1,000 employees. No information about potential incumbents or current contractors is provided in the solicitation materials, and no specific contract value or budget range is disclosed. The procurement specifies that only new equipment will be accepted, explicitly excluding used, remanufactured, experimental, or prototype items, with delivery required within four months of order placement. Performance will occur at NIST's facility in Gaithersburg, Maryland, with F.O.B. Destination delivery terms and a minimum 12-month warranty requirement. The contract falls under NAICS code 334516 for Analytical Laboratory Instrument Manufacturing and will support semiconductor foundries in improving their manufacturing processes while reducing product development time and costs.
