About this opportunity
The Department of Energy Office of Science seeks a Raytheon BBN Fully Tested and Characterized JPA System parametric amplifier and accessories, with proposals due June 5, 2026 at 4:00 PM CST. This procurement carries no set-aside.
Place of performance is Lemont, Illinois. The required system specifications include tunable center frequency of 5.0–7.0 GHz, minimum 20 dB gain, 300 MHz instantaneous bandwidth, noise temperature of 295 mK at 6.8 GHz, 50 Ohm matched input, and compact aluminum cryo-package with 2.92mm K connectors. The complete package comprises one JPA unit with serial number, JPA bracket with MuMetal shield, short cable (2.625") and long cable (8.625"), LNF circulator (LNF-CIC4_8A) with secondary MuMetal shield, bias tee, and LC absorptive filter with cryogenic functionality down to 10 mK, pass band 0.2–18 GHz, block band DC to 500 kHz with 20 dB insertion loss, return loss of 20 dB, SMA F/M connectors, brass housing with Abaloy finish, and 1.03 inches connector-to-connector length.
Evaluation will be lowest price, technically acceptable. Offerors must submit a fully executed ANL-70 Request for Quotation, completed ANL-70A Representations and Certifications, and identify country of origin for all quoted equipment. The NAICS code is 334515, Instrument Manufacturing for Measuring and Testing Electricity and Electrical Signals; PSC is 5996, Amplifiers. Argonne's standard Terms and Conditions for Commercial Goods and Services (ANL-71COM) apply, incorporating FAR and DEAR clauses including cybersecurity, counterfeit parts prevention, and site access requirements.
