Single-Photon Detection and Measurement Calibration Services

The contract requires on-site calibration and performance verification of a quantum photon source at a facility in Boulder, Colorado, with a focus on critical quantum optical parameters including fidelity, visibility, noise levels, and pair generation rate. This work must be conducted using high-end detection systems to ensure precision and reliability, aligning with the stringent standards expected for quantum measurement applications. The services are part of a subcontract under the Department of Commerce, National Institute of Standards and Technology, and are governed by NAICS code 541380, which corresponds to professional, scientific, and technical services involving measurement, testing, and calibration. Responses to this solicitation are due by July 16, 2026, with the opportunity posted on July 6, 2026. The performance location is confirmed as Boulder, with a ZIP code of 80305, and the work must be performed on-site, indicating that the contractor must deploy qualified personnel and equipment to the NIST facility. There is no set-aside designation specified, and the contract is classified as a subcontract, suggesting it supports a broader project or program within the Department of Commerce. The absence of a point of contact in the data implies that all inquiries must be directed through the official SAM.gov portal listed in the reference.
