About this opportunity
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has issued a Sources Sought Notice (NIST-SS26-CHIPS-03) to identify potential vendors for specialized electromagnetic measurement equipment supporting the CHIPS program. The equipment sought includes D-band, G-band, and J-band Fabry Perot resonators, coaxial Fabry Perot resonators, two PXIe chassis with host adapters, a PXIe switch matrix, precision source measurement units (SMUs), and optional vector network analyzer (VNA) equipment with extender head modules. The primary objective is to enable traceable complex permittivity measurements up to 330 GHz, supporting on-wafer traceability for S-parameters, power, and phase measurements. All equipment must include a three-year extended warranty with maintenance included. Interested vendors must submit responses via email by November 28, 2025, with submissions limited to 10 pages and must include detailed company information, product specifications, manufacturer details, manufacturing location, small business status, customization capabilities, and service offerings. Vendors must be registered in SAM.gov to be considered for potential future procurement, and this notice is for market research purposes only and does not guarantee a solicitation or contract award.
This Sources Sought Notice does not utilize any set-aside designations and does not identify any current incumbents or contractors. No specific award value or budget range is disclosed in the notice. The procurement involves discrete equipment quantities rather than services with defined timelines, with the primary deliverables consisting of the specified measurement instruments and their associated warranties. Respondents should provide manufacturer names, model numbers, technical specifications, and performance capabilities to demonstrate their capacity to meet NIST's electromagnetic measurement requirements. Vendors should note that NIST reserves the right to use submitted information as deemed necessary and that responses to this market research notice do not obligate the government to issue a formal solicitation.
