About this opportunity
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Photonics and Optomechanics Group is procuring a spectrum analyzer to measure the frequency spectrum of signals generated by microwave devices, supporting research in wireless communications, AI computing, quantum metrology, and quantum information science. The technical requirements have been updated to include a maximum analysis frequency of 67 GHz (increased from the original 50 GHz requirement), specific phase noise performance standards, and a displayed average noise level of -149 dBm at 1 GHz. Vendors must demonstrate experience supplying at least three spectrum analyzers operating at 50 GHz or above and provide technical documentation proving their equipment meets minimum specifications. The government will evaluate proposals on a best value trade-off basis, with technical capability being the most important factor, followed by experience and price. The solicitation response deadline is September 11, 2025, at 2:00 PM ET, with quotations submitted electronically in four volumes covering technical specifications, experience, pricing, and terms and conditions.
This procurement is designated as a total small business set-aside under NAICS code 334515 with a size standard of 750 employees, conducted using simplified acquisition procedures under FAR Part 13. The contract will be awarded as a firm-fixed-price purchase order with 100% payment upon receipt and acceptance of the delivered equipment, following Net 30-day payment terms. Delivery is required within 20 weeks to NIST's facility in Gaithersburg, Maryland, with FOB destination terms and a minimum one-year warranty requirement. The procurement involves a single spectrum analyzer unit that must be new and commercially available, meeting precise technical specifications for measuring electrical frequency responses and noise figures of microwave devices. The solicitation reserves the right to make an award without discussions based on initial quotes, emphasizing the importance of submitting comprehensive and compliant initial proposals.
