SOURCES SOUGHT: Type N and 2.4 mm Power Transfer Standards

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 Type N and 2.4 mm Power Transfer Standards in accordance with the attached draft specifications (NAICS 334515, small‑business size standard 750 employees). The requirement includes a 1.5 m cable compatible with the sensor’s DC connector and a 2.4 mm impedance‑matched standard whose RF‑dissipating element is replaced with a termination that partially reflects and partially dissipates RF power. NIST will consider a small‑business set‑aside if at least two qualified small businesses are identified; otherwise the acquisition may be competed on SAM.gov. Vendors must have an active UEI, an Export Control Classification Number (ECCN), and be able to provide a capability statement (≤ 5 pages) covering company profile, product source and country of origin, specification sheets, lead time (including installation and training), and verification of small‑business status. Responses are to be submitted electronically; no solicitation, quotation, or payment is implied by this market‑research effort. Delivery is required within four months of award, with partial deliveries acceptable, to NIST facilities in Boulder, CO, and Gaithersburg, MD. The contract may require on‑site U.S. personnel (foreign nationals need 30‑day pre‑registration) and vendor technician support for more than three days, including rigging, unpackaging, and turnkey installation. All interested parties should follow the specified submission format and provide the requested information to the listed point of contact.
