Summary

AI-generated · Jul 07, 2026

High-frequency oscilloscope with a high sampling rate and wide bandwidth is required to perform time-domain measurements of LTE and 5G signals at the Boulder, CO NIST site. This is market research to assess industry capability and inform the acquisition approach; a draft specifications document will guide responses, and delivery is expected roughly two months after order.

Review the attached draft specs and submit a written response (Microsoft Word or PDF, 12-point font) no more than 10 pages in length, plus a cover page with your company details, Unique Entity ID, SAM status, and size status. Include any suggestions to improve the draft specifications and potential evaluation factors, as well as standard commercial pricing information (if available) or an estimated price for planning purposes (not a quote). Indicate whether your company can comply with FAR 52.219-14 for small-business set-aside scenarios if applicable, and whether you hold a GSA schedule or other federal contract. If responding as a team, provide information for each entity. Submissions are voluntary with no obligation to award; after market research, a solicitation may be published on SAM.gov or GSA eBuy.

Request for Information/Sources Sought Notice for Providers/Suppliers for High-Frequency Oscilloscope Notice ID: NB675030-26-01980 Contract Opportunity Type Sources Sought Response Date: 7/16/2026 Product Service Code 6625 Electrical and Electronic Properties Measuring and Testing NAICS Code 334515 Instrument Manufacturing for Measuring and Testing Electricity and Electrical Signals BACKGROUND This is a notice to request information from industry to help the U.S. Department of Commerce, National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) determine the availability and capability of small businesses and other than small businesses to provide a high frequency Oscilloscope for the Boulder, CO NIST site. This notice is strictly to request information for market research purposes to help NIST determine the appropriate acquisition strategy for this requirement. This notice shall not be construed as a solicitation, an obligation, or commitment by the NIST. OVERVIEW The NIST, Shared Spectrum Metrology group requires a high-frequency oscilloscope with a high sampling rate, and wide bandwidth oscilloscope to conduct time-domain measurement of LTE and 5G signals. See attached draft specifications document. ANTICIPATED PERIOD OF PERFORMANCE NIST anticipates that it will require delivery for a high frequency oscilloscope that is similar to that in the draft specifications, 60 days after receipt of order. INFORMATION REQUESTED FROM INDUSTRY SOURCES: NIST invites industry sources to review this notice carefully and to familiarize themselves with the draft specifications document. Thereafter, by the closing date of this notice, NIST encourages those sources to submit responses to lia.arthofer@nist.gov. Do not include proprietary, classified, confidential, or sensitive information in a response to this notice. Responses should be submitted to contain the following, in Microsoft Word format or in .pdf format, use 12-point font, with a page limitation of ten pages (excluding cover page and excluding standard commercial pricing information): Cover page, including: Sources Sought Notice number, title, and date of issuance Unique Entity ID Company name Company address Company website address Company points of contact and their phone number and email address Validation of company size status under NAICS: 334515 Instrument Manufacturing for Measuring and Testing Electricity and Electrical Signals. See table of business size standards at https://www.sba.gov/document/support-table-size-standards for more information. Indicate whether your company has an active registration for procurement purposes in sam.gov. Provide any suggestions for NIST to consider for the draft specifications, with the goal of improving the draft specifications in a way that makes it clearer and as competitive as possible.

If your company has standard commercial pricing information (e.g., catalog pricing ) for its standard commercial products/services, please provide a copy of it and explain what it includes. NIST will consider standard commercial pricing information to help it estimate a fair market price for the upcoming acquisition. Your company may also provide an estimate for the draft specification requirements if you would like to do so; however, do not include a quotation for the draft specifications requirements; a quotation submitted in response to this notice will not be considered. If your company is a small business for the NAICS code included in this notice, indicate whether your company can comply with FAR clause 52.219-14, Limitations on Subcontracting (OCT 2022), if this acquisition were to be conducted as a total small business set-aside and provide supporting explanation.
