About this opportunity
The National Institute of Standards and Technology seeks quotations for a power sensor check standard comprising a calorimetric power meter and three waveguide taper items, with quotations due August 19, 2026 at 5:00 PM MDT. This is a 100% Small Business Set-aside procurement, restricting competition to entities meeting the 750-employee size standard under NAICS 334515.
The calorimetric power meter must measure power across rectangular waveguide bands from 75 GHz to 1.1 THz with relative accuracy of 5% typical, measurement range of 1 W to 200 mW, maximum continuous wave input power of at least 200 mW, calibration factor switch, internal calibration using known DC power, USB control interface, and temperature drift compensation to less than 2°C. Only new equipment is acceptable. The procurement also includes two WR-10 to WR-6.5 tapers (110–170 GHz, 0.16 dB loss), two WR-10 to WR-4.3 tapers (170–260 GHz, 0.28 dB loss), and two WR-10 to WR-3.4 tapers (220–330 GHz, 0.32 dB loss). All items must be delivered to NIST-Boulder within 12 weeks of award. Delivery location and point of acceptance is NIST's Boulder, Colorado facility at 325 Broadway, Boulder, CO 80305. Inspection and acceptance are expected within 7 business days of delivery.
