- Description
- Sources Sought National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Acquisition Management Division, Boulder, CO Sources Sought for Commercial Item Purchase - Vector Signal Analysis System (National Instruments) The High-Speed Measurements Group of the NIST seeks information on small business vendors that can provide a system to both receive and transmit RF waveforms and stream and analyze in-phase and quadrature (IQ) data. To perform both tasks, a vector signal transceiver (VST) system is required. Specifications 1. A system containing one (1) PXIe chassis with at least 24 GB/s of system backplane bandwidth containing: a. One (1) onboard controller with a minimum 24 GB of RAM. b. Two (2) interface connections for MXI-Expresses cables to connect to NI HDD-8266 RAID Arrays. c. One (1) VST with 1 GHz RF bandwidth and frequency range of 9 kHz to 6.5 GHz. d. One (1) field-programmable gate array (FPGA) integrated circuit with a data bandwidth of 3.2 GB/s. 2. All hardware above is required to be interoperable upon receipt as well as interoperable with exist NIST hardware (i.e., NI HDD-8266 RAID Arrays and model PXIe-1085). 3. A five-year standard service plan including calibration compliant with ANSI/NCSL Z540-1-1994. 4. No contractor installation is required. This announcement is not a Request for Proposals (RFP) and does not commit the Government to award a contract now or in the future. No solicitation is available at this time. The purpose of this synopsis is to identify small businesses with the requisite qualifications to meet the requirements of the item stated herein. After results of this market research are obtained and analyzed and compared with NIST's minimum requirement (see Technical Specifications above), NIST may conduct a small business set-aside competitive procurement and subsequently award a contract. If at least two qualified small businesses are identified during this market research stage, then this acquisition will be solicited as a small business set aside. NIST is seeking responses from all responsible small business sources (SB, SDB, WOSB, HUBZone, SDVOSB and VOSB). This requirement is assigned a NAICS code of 334419 (Other Electronic Component Manufacturing). The specific purpose of this Sources Sought Announcement is to determine if there are small businesses, within the parameters identified above, that can provide the product identified. Interested small business organizations that believe they can meet the requirement should submit electronic copies of their capability statement. Please limit responses to three (3) pages or less. Responses should include the following information: 1. Name of company that will provide product. 2. Name of company that will manufacture the product. 3. Spec sheets and examples of products that meet the specifications. 4. Typical lead time to deliver the product after receipt of order. 5. Any other relevant information that is not listed above which the Government should consider in developing our minimum specifications and finalizing our market research. Any proprietary information should be clearly marked. The written capability statement should be received by the Contract Specialist no later than 2:00 pm MST April 7, 2017. The capability statement shall identify the business status of the organization. Only electronic statements will be accepted. Faxes will not be accepted. Send emails and any inquiries to Michael Fredericks, Contracting Officer, at michael.fredericks@nist.gov and Aron Krischel, Contract Specialist, at aron.krischel@nist.gov.
