Combined Sources Sought Notice of Intent to Sole Source for Microwave Power Meter

The Department of Commerce, specifically the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), is issuing a Combined Sources Sought Notice of Intent to Sole Source for a microwave power meter. The procurement aims to acquire a microwave power meter and power sensor capable of measuring signals from 10 MHz to 40 GHz, with a dynamic range of -70 dBm to 20 dBm, and compatibility with the Anritsu VectorStar VNA. This equipment is critical for NIST's analytical laboratory operations, and market research indicates that Anritsu Americas Sales Company is the only vendor meeting the specified requirements. Interested parties are encouraged to submit their company information, product capabilities, and any suggestions for less restrictive requirements by February 20, 2026.
