About this opportunity
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has issued a competitive Request for Quotation (RFQ NB688000-25-02283) for the procurement of low-noise oscillators under simplified acquisition procedures. The agency seeks to acquire two 10.24 GHz reference oscillators for their Phase Noise Metrology Group, which must meet stringent technical specifications including 0.1ppm frequency accuracy, phase locking capability to a 10 MHz external reference, and extremely low phase noise performance of -170 dBc/Hz or better at 1 MHz. The oscillators must deliver +10 dBm output power, consume less than 15W at +12V DC, and fit within compact dimensions of 148mm x 102mm x 76mm. The procurement will be evaluated using a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) method, where NIST will first assess the lowest-priced quote for technical acceptability before making an award. Electronic quotations must be submitted by 11:00 AM Mountain Standard Time on July 25, 2025, to angela.hitt@nist.gov.
This solicitation operates under NAICS code 334516 (Analytical Laboratory Instrument Manufacturing) with a small business size standard of 1,000 employees and includes no set-aside designations. The procurement does not identify any current incumbents or contractors, and no specific award values or budget ranges are disclosed in the available documentation. The requirement calls for delivery of the oscillators within 10-12 weeks after receipt of order, with government acceptance expected to take 14 days. The place of performance is NIST's Boulder, Colorado facility at 80305, where the oscillators will be used for developing and characterizing cavity-stabilized oscillators in phase noise metrology applications. No additional training, installation, or special site considerations are required beyond the base manufacturer's warranty.
