Phase Noise Analyzer Supply and Technical Compliance

The contract seeks the supply of a benchtop Phase Noise Analyzer designed to measure ultralow phase noise and Allan deviation of high-precision RF sources, with full technical compliance to NIST specifications. The instrument must meet rigorous performance criteria to ensure accurate, repeatable measurements critical for calibration and validation of advanced timing and frequency standards used in scientific and federal applications. All equipment must be new, fully functional, and delivered with documentation certifying adherence to NIST traceability and metrological standards. The opportunity is structured as a subcontract under the Department of Commerce’s National Institute of Standards and Technology, with a response deadline of August 17, 2026. The NAICS code 334515 indicates the procurement falls under the manufacture of electronic instrumentation, underscoring the need for a technically sophisticated and specialized device. Performance is expected to align with NIST’s operational requirements in precision metrology, and while no specific location is listed for delivery or performance, fulfillment must support the agency’s mission to maintain and advance national standards for time and frequency. No set-aside type or point of contact details are provided, suggesting the contracting process is open to eligible vendors meeting technical and compliance criteria.
