Real-Time Spectrum Analyzer Supply and Manufacturing

The contract calls for the manufacture and supply of a real-time spectrum analyzer designed to characterize signals across a wide frequency range from sub-megahertz to tens of gigahertz, with final installation required at the National Institute of Standards and Technology in Boulder, Colorado. The equipment must meet stringent performance criteria to support high-precision measurement and calibration activities critical to NIST’s mission in metrology and communications research. The instrument is expected to deliver exceptional dynamic range, fast processing speeds, and robust signal analysis capabilities to enable accurate, repeatable, and traceable measurements under diverse experimental conditions. This subcontract is solicited under NAICS code 334515, indicating classification within the manufacture of electronic instrumentation, and has a response deadline of May 22, 2026. The place of performance is fixed at the NIST facility in Boulder with a zip code of 80305, and performance must align with the technical and timeline requirements set by the Department of Commerce. The contract does not specify a set-aside program or point of contact, and while the solicitation number is absent, the official posting is accessible via the SAM.gov system. All proposals must demonstrate technical feasibility, manufacturing capability, and proven experience in delivering similar high-performance test and measurement systems to government or research institutions.
