    A5_Calibration Kit SOW updated.docx
    The Naval Surface Warfare Center Indian Head Division (NSWC IHD) is seeking a calibration unit to support its high-frequency network analyzers functioning up to 67 GHz. The requirement specifies a 50 Ohm, 2-port, 1.85mm calibration kit, essential for ensuring precise instrument operation. The selected vendor must be based in the USA and deliver the complete calibration kit within 60 days of contract award to the specified NSWC IHD location in Indian Head, Maryland. This procurement is critical as NSWC IHD recently received a $1.5 million contract to enhance the RF lab's capabilities, but lacks a calibration kit for its Rohde & Schwarz network analyzers. Without proper calibration, the equipment may fall out of specification, potentially halting important projects and degrading operational capacity. The vendor's responsibilities include supplying the required hardware and ensuring timely delivery, maintaining industry-standard warranties. The project underscores the importance of having the necessary calibration resources to support advanced RF projects effectively.
