Precision Timing and Atomic Clock Systems

The Precision Timing and Atomic Clock Systems subcontract involves the development and integration of complex clock ensembles for prime contractors supporting the Naval Research Laboratory. The scope of work focuses on researching and integrating hydrogen masers, atomic fountain clocks, and other atomic clocks to achieve a timing accuracy of under 2 nanoseconds and maintain stability of 3 parts per trillion. The final deliverable is a certified timing system that meets these rigorous technical metrics. Performance will take place in Washington, and the project is categorized under NAICS code 334511. Due to the sensitive nature of the Department of Defense project, personnel are required to hold Top Secret/SCI security clearances and possess DoD 8140 cybersecurity qualifications. Responses for this opportunity are due by November 9, 2026.
