Subject: Notice of Intent to Noncompetitively Acquire Board Prototype- Ectron
The National Institute of Standards and Technology Memory Device Characterization Platform project requires prototype board acquisition for memory characterization platform (Daffodil3) for Alternative Computing Group in Physical Measurements Laboratory. This service involves the fabrication and assembly of the Daffodil3 board. Researchers and industries with custom memory devices will use this board as a standalone benchtop platform to characterize their memory devices and measure various metrics.
NIST intends to award a non-competitive contract to Ectron Corporation for a Board Protoype to be used to characterize and evaluate custom analog memory devices developed by researchers and industry.
This notice is not a request for a quotation. A solicitation document will not be issued, and quotations will not be requested.
This acquisition is being conducted under the authority of RFO 12.102(a). The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code for this acquisition is 334516, Analytical Laboratory Instrument Manufacturing.
NIST requires a solution that meets the following minimum requirements:
Complete board fabrication and assembly service for a memory characterization platform called Daffodil.
The board contains several Analog to Digital Converters (ADC), Digital to Analog Converters (DAC), Operational Amplifiers, Analog Multiplexers, Digital Potentiometers, an FMC module, 256-pin socket for a custom memory device, and Avnet Ultrascale+ SOM (XCZU3EG-1SFVA625).
Board fabrication is to be done with FR4 or FR408HR material. A rigid-flex or rigid-type board with Class II inspection is required.
All components required for assembly, other than the memory socket, shall be included.
After thorough evaluation, it has been determined that the boa...
