About this opportunity
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) is procuring Fabry Perot Open Resonators (FPOR) and microwave components to support complex permittivity measurements up to 330 GHz as part of its CHIPS program. The procurement includes three waveguide-based FPOR units (D-band, G-band, and J-band covering 110–330 GHz), one coaxial FPOR unit (10–130 GHz), and precision source measurement units (SMUs) with femtoampere and picoampere resolution capabilities. All equipment must be new, in original manufacturer packaging with complete documentation and software, and delivered within 16 weeks of order receipt. Award will be made to the lowest-priced, technically acceptable quoter who meets all specified technical requirements, and quotations must be submitted in three volumes covering technical specifications, pricing, and terms and conditions. The original quotation deadline of March 25, 2026 was extended through multiple amendments, with the final deadline set for April 13, 2026 at 10:00 a.m. EDT; pre-quote inquiries were due within two calendar days of solicitation issuance on March 18, 2026.
This solicitation is designated as a 100 percent small business set-aside under NAICS code 334413 (Semiconductor and Related Device Manufacturing) with a small business size standard of 1,250 employees, and includes an approved Individual Waiver of the Nonmanufacturer Rule allowing qualified small businesses to source products from other-than-small manufacturers. No incumbent contractor is identified in the solicitation documentation. All quotations must be firm-fixed-price and valid for 90 days, with prices including shipping costs under FOB Destination terms and applicable tariffs; payment will be made 100 percent upon installation, acceptance, and successful completion of testing by NIST personnel. The equipment will be delivered to NIST's facility at 325 Broadway, Boulder, Colorado 80305, and all contractors must maintain active SAM.gov registration from quotation submission through final payment, as well as comply with FISMA-aligned cybersecurity requirements including encryption, access controls, and vulnerability management processes.
