Sources Sought - Vector Network Analyzer Extender Head Drivers

The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) is issuing a Sources‑Sought notice to identify firms—large and small (SB, SDB, WOSB, HUBZone, SDVOSB, VOSB)—capable of supplying Vector Network Analyzer Extender Head Drivers and associated calibration kits in accordance with the attached specifications (NAICS 334515, small‑business size standard 750 employees). NIST will use the responses to determine the acquisition method; if at least two qualified small businesses are identified, the eventual contract will be set aside for small business participation. Interested vendors must submit an electronic capability statement (≤ 5 pages) that includes a company profile (employees, UEI, CAGE), product source and manufacturer (country of origin), specification sheets, typical lead time (including installation and training), and verification of small‑business status. The award will be a turnkey delivery to NIST’s Boulder, CO facility, requiring a U.S. citizen on‑site (foreign nationals must pre‑register 30 days prior) and a vendor representative on‑site for more than three days to perform rigging, unpackaging, set‑up, and start‑up services. Acceptance of the extender head and calibration kit will occur at NIST Boulder, with on‑site inspection not to exceed 7 business days (NTE 14 days). A one‑year manufacturer warranty is acceptable. No marketing brochures will be considered, and NIST will not pay for any information submitted. Point of contact: Daniel Kent (daniel.kent@nist.gov, 303‑497‑6533).
