What this contract is for

Agency: COMMERCE, DEPARTMENT OF / NATIONAL INSTITUTE OF STANDARDS AND TECHNOLOGY
Location: Boulder, CO
NAICS: 334413
Scope: Federal

The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Acquisition Management Division intends to negotiate with Hi Tech Global, LLCInc., located in San Jose, CA, on a sole source basis under the authority of FAR Subpart 6.302-1, soliciting from a single source, for a Radio Frequency System on Chip (RFSoC) Integrated Microwave Readout Electronics.

See Requirements and Specifications for details.

NAICS Code is 334413, Semiconductor and Related Device Manufacturing, with a small business size standard of 750 employees.

NIST anticipates negotiating and awarding a firm-fixed-price purchase order to Hi Tech Global 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 September 26, 2026.

Any questions regarding this notice must be submitted in writing via email to [email protected].

All responses to this notice of intent must be submitted to [email protected] no later than the date and time provided herein this posting.

JUSTIFICATION FOR OTHER THAN FULL AN OPEN COMPETITION: NIST is expanding an existing electronic readout system for quantum sensors.

NIST therefore requires the purchase of identical copies of the electronics NIST already haves in order to read out more sensor channels.

Specifically, NIST requires the part numbers HTG-ZRF8-R2-48 and HTG-FMC-SFP-OC-E.

NIST is successfully using parts from Hi Tech Global.

How to bid on this

This is a contract solicitation, not a grant. To bid, you submit a proposal (usually a price and a description of how you would do the work) directly to the government, through the channel the official listing specifies, not through Oppward.

Make sure your business has an active SAM.gov registration. You cannot be paid on a federal contract without one.
Read the full solicitation on the official listing above, especially the scope of work, not just this summary. Our guide to reading a solicitation walks through what to look for.
This listing has no set-aside restriction ("full and open competition"), meaning any business, large or small, can bid.
Submit your proposal by the deadline, using the exact submission method the official listing states. A technically on-time bid sent the wrong way is often treated as late.
