Tender Details

Description

This is a Notice of Proposed Contract Action under the FAR Part 12 Acquisition of Commercial Products and Commercial Services and FAR Part 13 Simplified Acquisition Procedures. Notice is for information only; a solicitation will not be issued. THIS IS NOT A REQUEST FOR QUOTATION. No contract will be awarded on the basis of offers received in response to this notice. The associated North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code is 334516 (Analytical Laboratory Instrument Manufacturing) with a small business size standard of 1, 000 employees.

The Government requires the procurement of a Cryogenic Variable-Temperature Noise Source, and intends to negotiate a sole-source award for this requirement with Bluefors, Inc., 253 36th Street - Site C302 Brooklyn, NY 11232. Salient characteristics of the required Cryogenic Variable-Temperature Noise Source are as follows:

Lowest achievable noise temperature

0.1 Kelvin or below

Highest achievable noise temperature

1 Kelvin or above

Intrinsic noise in terms of number of photons

At or near single photon limit, 1.5 photons or less at a 5 GHz frequency

Cryostat compatibility

Must be usable within a Bluefors LD dilution refrigerator. Can be affixed to the cold plate via a ISO-KF25 or KF40 port.

Microwave connections

Can be connected to SMA semi-rigid coaxial lines

Operation frequency range -

Can operate in the microwave regime, spanning frequencies at least from 3 GHz to 12 GHz

Characteristic impedance

50 Ohms

Back-action heating within cryostat

Must not cause significant back-action heating on the mixing chamber sample stage within the refrigerator

Temperature monitoring and feedback

Built into noise source, so that separate or manual monitoring and feedback is not required. Using a pre-calibrated Ruthenium Oxide (RuOx) thermometer.

Modes of operation

Can be operated by transmitting a microwave probe tone or as a ...
