Summary
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) is seeking a high-performance Microwave/Vector Network Analyzer and millimeter-wave extender heads to support traceable complex permittivity measurements (up to ~330 GHz) in support of the NIST CHIPS program. The procurement requests delivery of one Microwave Network Analyzer, one WR6.5 Mini VNAX Module (VDI), and one Millimeter Wave Test Controller with specified performance limits (e.g., 1 kHz low limit, 67 GHz high limit without extenders); respondents should submit documentation showing how the minimum technical requirements will be met. The notice was published on SAM.gov on 2026-07-10 and responses are due 2026-07-17; the SAM record lists a public attachment named "Microwave Network Analyzer.docx" and a primary point of contact (Ranae M. Armstrong).
