- Description
- The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Acquisition Management Division intends to negotiate with Keysight Technologies, Inc. located in Santa Rosa, CA on a sole source basis under the authority of FAR Subpart 13.106-1(b), soliciting from a single source, for Keysight Time-domain Reflectometry (TDR) License. Specific Requirements are as follows: The TDR License will be used as part of research into Si-based quantum dot devices. � The specific requirements are: License shall work on Keysight 5234A Network Analyzer. Shall provide the capability of measuring TDR for reflected signals. Shall have time resolution of no greater than 0.1 ns. Shall have total time record no less than 100 ns. This shall be provided and accomplished in accordance with these specifications. NAICS Code is 513210 �Software Publishers, with a Size Standard of $47.0M. NIST anticipates negotiating and awarding a firm-fixed-price purchase order to Keysight for this requirement. Interested parties that can demonstrate they could satisfy the requirement listed above for NIST must clearly and unambiguously identify their capability to do so in writing on or before the response date for this notice. This notice of intent is not a solicitation. Information submitted in response to this notice will be used solely to determine whether competitive procedures could be used for this acquisition. If competitive procedures are not used it is estimated that an award will be issued by 5/7/2023. Any questions regarding this notice must be submitted in writing via email to angela.hitt@nist.gov. All responses to this notice of intent must be submitted to angela.hitt@nist.gov no later than the date and time provided herein this posting. JUSTIFICATION FOR OTHER THAN FULL AN OPEN COMPETITION: Market research resulted in Keysight being the only vendor that can supply license for TDR upgrade. Additionally, NIST requires compatibility with NIST�s existing hardware (Keysight PNA-L 5234. Failure to process this request would cause NIST not to be able to perform its research into Si-based quantum dot devices.
