The National Institute of Standards and Technology seeks quotations for an oscilloscope system at its Gaithersburg, Maryland campus, with proposals due June 12, 2026 at 10:00 a.m. ET. This is unrestricted full and open competition with no set-aside.

Place of performance is Gaithersburg, MD. The oscilloscope must be new, original equipment with minimum bandwidth of 2.5 GHz, sampling rate of at least 20 GSa/s on two channels, record length of at least 1 Gpta/channel, 12-bit ADC resolution, four analog input channels, selectable input impedance (1 MΩ or 50 Ω), input jitter maximum of 80 fs, and time accuracy of 1.0×10⁻⁷. The system must include four passive X10 probes (0.5 GHz bandwidth), four high-current probes (5 mA–100 A range, DC and AC to 10 MHz), USB connectivity, 115V/60Hz single-phase power, software capable of downloading V(t) or I(t) data, SI-traceable calibration, two sets of operation and maintenance manuals, FOB destination delivery, and a minimum one-year warranty. The oscilloscope will integrate into NIST's Absolute Magnetometer for SI-traceable force measurement in developing magnetic standard reference materials. No prototypes, demonstration models, used, or refurbished instruments will be considered.

The NAICS code is 334516, Analytical Laboratory Instrument Manufacturing, with a small business size standard of 1,000 employees. The PSC is 6640, Laboratory Equipment and Supplies. All quotations must be firm-fixed-price on an FOB Destination basis with all shipping costs and applicable tariffs included. Quotations must be submitted electronically via email to Contract Specialist Nina Lin (nina.lin@nist.gov) and Contracting Officer Tracy Retterer (tracy.bisson@nist.gov).
