High-Speed Arbitrary Waveform Generator

NIST is conducting market research for a single high‑speed arbitrary waveform generator to support electro‑optic modulator optical frequency comb spectroscopy. The required unit must be new, meet or exceed the technical specifications (≥ 8 GS/s single‑channel sampling rate, ≥ 16‑bit digitization, ≥ 3.75 GHz analog bandwidth, ≥ 2 analog output channels, ≥ 1 V p‑p output into 50 Ω, ≥ 10 MS onboard memory, 10 MHz external reference input, benchtop form factor) and cannot be used, remanufactured, experimental, custom, or contain “gray‑market” components. NIST’s market research (Oct 2025 – Mar 2026) identified only Spectrum Instrumentation as capable of meeting all minimum requirements, and the notice is a combined Sources Sought and Intent‑to‑Sole‑Source solicitation (Solicitation NIST‑SS26‑CHIPS‑112, CLIN 0001). Respondents must submit, in Word, Excel, or PDF, company name, address, contact information, SAM UEI, small‑business status, relevant NAICS code, any existing Federal Supply Schedule contracts, and a description of capability to meet or exceed NIST’s minimum requirements, including reseller authorization if applicable. Responses are for market research only, are not proposals or quotations, and will not result in an award. All information must be provided by 12:00 PM on 6 May 2026 to the primary point of contact, Junee Johnson (junee.johnson@nist.gov).
