High-Frequency Vector Network Analyzer (VNA) Supply

The contract pertains to the supply of a Keysight N5222B-419 Vector Network Analyzer equipped with IF inputs and enhanced low phase noise options, specifically designed to function as a direct replacement for existing instrumentation at NIST Boulder. This unit is engineered for seamless integration with legacy frequency extenders capable of operating up to 1.1 THz and must be fully compatible with current software systems already in use, ensuring zero disruption to ongoing high-frequency measurements and calibration protocols. The equipment is critical for maintaining the precision and continuity of electromagnetic characterization activities at the facility. The solicitation is issued as a subcontract under NAICS code 334516 by the Department of Commerce, NIST, with a response deadline of May 7, 2026, at 4:00 PM. The place of performance is designated as Boulder, Colorado, 80305, indicating that delivery and installation must occur on-site at the NIST facility. The contract is open for submission through the SAM.gov portal and is intended to support advanced research infrastructure, requiring the delivered instrument to meet strict technical specifications to preserve alignment with existing measurement standards and operational workflows.
