AI Contract Overview
The contract calls for the procurement of a Raytheon BBN Josephson Parametric Amplifier (JPA) system along with specified accessories designed to operate within a tunable center frequency range of 5.0 to 7.0 GHz. The amplifier must deliver a minimum gain of 20 dB and an instantaneous bandwidth of 300 MHz, with a noise temperature of 295 mK at 6.8 GHz. The package should be compact, housed in an aluminum cryogenic enclosure with 2.92mm K connectors, and include components such as a JPA bracket with MuMetal shielding, specific cable lengths, a circulator with additional shielding, a bias tee, and an LC absorptive filter. Additionally, a non-magnetic cryogenic DC block is required, featuring broadband capability from 0.2 to 18 GHz, high out-of-band rejection, low insertion loss of 0.5 dB, and designed to function down to temperatures as low as 10 mK. Proposals will be evaluated based on the lowest price coupled with a technically acceptable methodology. Respondents must submit their proposals by 4:00 PM CST on June 5, 2026, including a fully executed ANL-70 Request for Quotation, a completed ANL-70A Representations and Certifications form, and disclose the country of origin for the equipment quoted. The solicitation is issued by the Department of Energy through the Argonne National Laboratory in Lemont, Illinois, with Laura Sanchez serving as the primary point of contact for inquiries. The procurement is categorized under NAICS code 334515, and all submissions must comply with the specifications and documentation requirements outlined.
