- Description
- The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) proposes to negotiate on a sole source basis the purchase under the authority of 41 U.S.C. 253(c)(1) with Symmetricom, Inc , 34 Tozer Road, Beverly, MA 01915-5510, of an Auxiliary Output Generator, Model AOG-110. This is a combined synopsis/solicitation for commercial items prepared in accordance with the format in Subpart 12.6 of the Federal Acquisition Regulations (FAR) as supplemented with additional information included in this notice. The incorporated provisions and clauses are those in effect through Federal Acquisition Circular (FAC) 2005-13. NIST requires an ultra-high stability frequency synthesizer that has the following characteristics: Three 5 MHz outputs, +13 dBm into 50 ohms, greater than 80 dB isolation, stability (Allan deviation) better than 2e-13 at 1 second with 1/t dependence out to 10,000 seconds and longer where the stability is better than 4e-17. This stability is maintained for fractional frequency offsets up to 1e-9. The phase noise of the output shall be less than 3 dB above the input 5 MHz reference. Fractional frequency offsets up to +/- 1e-7 range with 1e-19 resolution. Must have absolute and relative frequency control. Temperature sensitivity relative to reference less than 10 ps per degree C. Input frequency reference is 5 MHz from an active hydrogen maser with power in the range of +6 dBm to +15 dBm. The instrument shall have a 1 PPS output, with the following characteristics; positive going, amplitude greater than 3 volts into 50 ohms (TTL compatible), 20 microsecond pulse width, rise time less than 5 ns, jitter less than 1 ns rms. The instrument shall have a timing input for synchronizing the output 1 PPS, with the following characteristics; amplitude greater than 3 volts into 50 ohms (TTL compatible), pulse width greater than 100 ns, rise time less than 5 ns, synchronization to better than 15 ns. The computer interface shall have the following characteristics; RS-232 compatible control, supports 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600 and 19200 baud rates, all frequency, phase and clock controls available remotely. Power requirements are 110 VAC, 60 Hz, secondary DC input of 18 to 30 VDC. The instrument must be rack mountable. A proven track record of excellent reliability is necessary. Although this is a commercial product, the market is very limited, with only a few tens being sold per year. This is a very sophisticated, ultra-low noise frequency synthesizer for use with an active hydrogen maser. This synopsis is issued for information purposes only. Questions should be submitted in writing to the contracting officer either by fax or email. Any source that believes it can supply the required service should respond by submitting a written narrative statement of capability, including detailed technical information and other technical literature demonstrating the ability to meet the above requirements, within 15 days of this notice, to the above address. Information submitted in response to the notice will be used solely to determine whether or not use of competitive procedures to fulfill this requirement would be in the Government's best interest and must address qualifications pertinent to this requirement. Notwithstanding responses received - it is at the discretion of the government to add additional sources and or consider other quotes received after close of due date if it is in the best interest of the government. NAICS code for this procurement is 334315.
