High-Precision Timing & Synchronization System Integration

The contract calls for the integration of a PXI-based system designed to achieve precise timing accuracy of one microsecond or better across distributed test environments. The system must synchronize multiple nodes using Precision Time Protocol (PTP), Network Time Protocol (NTP), and Global Positioning System (GPS) signals, with the added requirement of holdover functionality to maintain timing integrity during temporary loss of external references. This solution is intended for high-stakes testing applications where temporal alignment is critical to data integrity and system performance. The work is being procured as a subcontract under the Department of Defense, specifically tied to the Air Force Research Laboratory at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base in Ohio, with a place of performance at 45433. The solicitation is categorized under NAICS Code 334515, indicating a focus on communications equipment manufacturing. The response deadline is July 24, 2026, with the opportunity posted on July 16, 2026, suggesting a short, targeted procurement window for qualified industrial partners capable of delivering mission-critical timing infrastructure under stringent performance standards.
