About this opportunity
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) is conducting market research to identify vendors capable of supplying one pulse generator, with responses due by July 24, 2026. This is a sources-sought notice, not a request for quotation, and does not commit the Government to award. NIST will use responses to determine acquisition method and whether sufficient small business capacity exists to warrant a small business set-aside; if at least two qualified small businesses are identified, the procurement will be solicited as a small business set-aside.
The pulse generator must deliver maximum pulse output exceeding 10 kilovolts in 50 ohms, with 100 picosecond rise time, 3 nanosecond decay time, and 1 kilohert repetition rate. The unit must support single-shot and internal/external trigger modes, operate on 100–240 VAC, 50–60 hertz input at less than 5 amps, fit within a 19-inch rack at 3U height, weigh no more than 7.5 kilograms, and feature an N-type high-voltage output connector. Delivery is to NIST-Boulder, 325 Broadway, Boulder, Colorado 80305, with acceptance not expected to exceed 7 business days.
Prospective vendors must possess an active Export Control Classification Number (ECCN) and a Unique Entity Identification Number registered as "Active" on SAM.gov at time of award. NIST is considering all small business set-aside categories (SB, SDB, WOSB, HUBZone, SDVOSB, VOSB) as well as large businesses. The requirement is assigned NAICS 334515 with a 750-employee small business size standard.
