AI Contract Overview
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) is conducting market research to identify vendors capable of supplying an Optical Spectrum Analyzer that meets specific technical requirements outlined in the attached specifications. This sources sought notice is not a solicitation, request for quotation, or binding commitment to award a contract; it is solely intended to gather information on potential suppliers before determining the appropriate acquisition method. Responses must include the company providing the product, the manufacturer’s name, and the country where the product is manufactured, along with capability statements limited to four pages containing product data sheets, typical lead times, and any additional relevant information. Proprietary information should be clearly marked, and no quotes will be accepted or considered at this stage. The requirement is classified under NAICS code 334516, with a small business size standard of 1,000 employees, and NIST is evaluating whether a small business set-aside opportunity exists based on responses received. All responsible sources—regardless of size—are encouraged to respond, but responses must demonstrate that the product can meet the stated specifications. The agency will use the collected information to inform future procurement decisions and determine if competition can be limited to small businesses if at least two qualified ones respond. Responses must be submitted electronically to Lisa Stevens at lisa.stevens@nist.gov no later than August 14, 2026, and must not include marketing brochures. The product’s country of origin is a critical piece of information for compliance and sourcing considerations.
