26-58075 Radio Frequency (RF) Test and Measurement Suite
Solicitation # 26-58075
The National Research Council of Canada is seeking a fully integrated Radio Frequency (RF) Test and Measurement Suite comprising a signal generator capable of producing signals from 10 kHz to 50 GHz with an integrated frequency multiplier capable of extending output to 110–170 GHz, a signal/spectrum analyzer with a measurement range up to 50 GHz, and a vector network analyzer operating up to 44 GHz. The system must function as a unified solution with centralized control and be designed for high-precision applications in quantum metrology, where phase noise, harmonic distortion, and long-term frequency stability are critical to accurate sensor operation. The signal generator must accept external 10 MHz or 100 MHz references for enhanced stability, and the multiplier must be seamlessly controllable through the same interface as the generator. The spectrum analyzer must accurately characterize signal strength, harmonics, and spurious emissions, while the vector network analyzer must measure both magnitude and phase of RF components across temperature conditions, including cryogenic environments. All equipment must comply with mandatory technical specifications covering frequency range, phase noise, harmonic levels, phase stability, and multiplier functionality, with full compliance required to be considered for award. The solicitation follows a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) procurement strategy, where only offers meeting all mandatory technical criteria are evaluated, and the award will be granted to the lowest-priced compliant proposal. Proposals must be submitted electronically by August 14th, 2026, at 2:00 PM EDT, as two separate, unzipped files labeled “Technical Offer” and “Financial Offer,” with a combined size not exceeding 10 MB. Delivery of the completed suite is due by January 15th, 2027, at the NRC facility in Ottawa, under Incoterms® 2020 DAP terms, with full documentation—including operating procedures, remote command sets, troubleshooting guides, and technical specifications—required in both PDF and hard copy. The contract includes an irrevocable option for additional goods or services under the same terms, and contractors must comply with Canadian reciprocal procurement rules, anti-forced labor policies, international sanctions, and the Federal Contractors Program for Employment Equity. Environmental standards mandate reusable, recyclable, or returnable packaging, and all submissions are subject to review and final acceptance by the Government of Canada. Proposals must also include completed certifications affirming integrity, eligibility, and compliance with all contractual conditions, and only Canadian suppliers or those
