Precision Timing and Clock Reference Module Integration

The contract involves the supply and integration of ultra-stable 10 MHz and 100 MHz clock reference modules, including OCXOs or atomic frequency standards, to serve as precision timing inputs for a microwave synthesizer. These components must provide exceptional frequency stability and low phase noise to ensure accurate and reliable microwave signal generation, critical for high-performance scientific and metrology applications. The work is scoped as a subcontract under the Department of Commerce, National Institute of Standards and Technology, with performance required in Boulder, Colorado, at a zip code of 80305. The solicitation is open for responses until May 18, 2026, and is classified under NAICS code 334511, which pertains to the manufacturing of electronic instrumentation. The contract does not specify any set-aside type or eligibility restrictions. Interested parties must submit their proposals by the stated deadline, and the focus is on delivering modules that meet stringent timing requirements for integration into NIST’s advanced timing systems, ensuring compatibility and performance under operational conditions.
