This requirement is being competed as a total small business set-aside. ***The National Institute of Standards and Technology is seeking to purchase ** Three (3) Long Term Evolution (LTE) Evolved Packet Core (EPC). Background The Fiber Sources and Applications Group (FSAP) of the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) applies precise optical laser metrology to different applications. Back scatter reflectometers can measure many critical properties of a fiber system, can see junctions formed by fiber connectors or matting micro-optic components and can measure the optical time of flight between such elements to very precise levels which is important for measuring delays in transceivers used for optical time transfer and for characterizing fiber lengths in assembling frequency comb oscillators. The ability to measure with high resolution is critical for diagnosing failure points in fiber coupled devices and measuring insertion loss based on Rayleigh backscatter is critical for diagnosing degradation in fiber components Minimum Requirements The system shall meet or exceed the technical specifications identified in Attachment C. All items must be new. Used or remanufactured equipment will not be considered for award. Experimental, prototype, or custom items will not be considered. The use of "gray market" components not authorized for sale in the U.S. by the offeror is not acceptable. All line items shall be shipped in the original manufacturer's packaging and include all original documentation and software, when applicable: Unit Total CLIN Nomenclature Qty Price Price BASE PERIOD 0001 Long Term Evolution (LTE) Evolved Packet 3 EA $ $ Core (EPC) Software License and Support REFERENCE: attached requirements document Delivery: NLT 30 days ARO Period of Performance: 12 months FOB: Destination OPTION PERIOD I 1001 Long Term Evolution (LTE) Evolved Packet 3 EA $ $ Core (EPC) Software Support REFERENCE attached requirements document Period of Performance: 12 months OPTION PERIOD II 2001 Long Term Evolution (LTE) Evolved Packet 3 EA $ $ Core (EPC) Software Support REFERENCE attached requirements document Period of Performance: 12 months OPTION PERIOD III 3001 Long Term Evolution (LTE) Evolved Packet 3 EA $ $ Core (EPC) Software Support REFERENCE attached requirements document Period of Performance: 12 months OPTION PERIOD IV 4001 Long Term Evolution (LTE) Evolved Packet 3 EA $ $ Core (EPC) Software Support REFERENCE attached requirements document Period of Performance: 12 months Inspection & Acceptance In addition to the inspection and acceptance terms articulated in 52.212-4, the Government reserves the right to perform such performance tests and evaluations to verify specified system performance.
