- NOTICE OF INTENT TO SOLE SOURCE TO QUINSTAR TECHNOLOGY, INC. The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) intends to negotiate on a sole source basis with QuinStar Technology 24085 Garinier St., Torrance, CA 90505-5319 using the authority of FAR 13.106-1(b) Soliciting From a Single Source, for the purchase of cryogenic microwave isolators and circulators that will be used to perform microwave measurement in superconducting quantum information experiments. The items will meet the following Technical Specs Cryogenic Isolators: Frequency: 3.0 - 12.0 GHz Min. Isolation: 14 dB Max. Insertion Loss: 1.1 dB Max. VSWR: 1.38:1 Operating Temp. 4.2 Kelvin Cryogenic Circulators: Frequency: 4.0 - 8.0 GHz Min. Isolation 36 dB Max. Insertion Loss: 1 dB Max VSWR: 1.28:1 Operating Temp. 4.2 Kelvin Based on market research, NIST has not identified any other sources that can provide the required product. If NIST identifies no other capable sources by December 18th, 2012, NIST will issue a firm-fixed price purchase order on or about December 19th to QuinStar Technology (a small business).
