Opportunity Overview
This is a request for a Firm Fixed Price quotation for commercial products. This solicitation is issued in accordance with the Revolutionary FAR Overhaul (RFO) Part 12 - Acquisition of Commercial Products and Commercial Services as supplemented with additional information included in this notice.
This solicitation is a Request for Quotation (RFQ). The solicitation document and incorporated provisions and clauses are those in effect through the RFO.
The associated North American Industrial Classification System (NAICS) code for this procurement is 344419 - Other Electronic Component Manufacturing. The small business size standard of 750 employees. This is an unrestricted competition. Both other than small businesses and small businesses under the applicable NAICS code are eligible to respond.
DESCRIPTION OF REQUIREMENTS
Non-Competitive (Single-sole Source (Including Brand-Name)) Determination:
The purpose of this acquisition is to obtain a field-programmable gate array (FPGA) (AMD Zynq UltraScale+ RFSoC ZCU111 Evaluation Kit, EK-U1-ZCU111-G) board that can be used in the NIST ITL's quantum network testbed to measure and forward information based on detection events with extremely low latency. Quantum information routing and detection in deployed optical fibers require state-of-the-art FPGAs to be able to process single-photon detection information and make decisions that are comparable with the speed of light in optical fibers. This is a brand name request, as ITL requires this specific evaluation board to be compatible with software that has already been written and developed by our PML colleagues. All FPGAs are different and require device-specific programming and configuration. NIST ITL has an existing software library that was previously developed by a NIST PML postdoctoral researcher. The software library was specifically written for the AMD Zynq platform and took two years to develop. Since these libraries are specifically written and optimized for the...
