Active Hydrogen Maser

This request is an announcement for information/market research for planning purposes. This synopsis does not constitute a request for proposal, request for quote, invitation for bid nor does its issuance, in any way, restrict the Government as to its ultimate acquisition approach. The Air Force Nuclear Weapons Center/PZIA, Kirtland AFB, New Mexico is seeking potential sources to provide an active hydrogen maser to serve as a highly stable time and frequency reference. General Requirements: - The unit must have: 2 ports outputting 5 MHz at >10dBm power, 2 ports outputting 10 MHz at >10dBm, 1 port outputting at 100 MHz at >10dBm, and 1 port outputting at 1 pulse per second (PPS) that is TTL compatible. - The unit must have an input at 1 PPS for synchronizing. - The frequency stability measured by Allan deviation must be less than 2E-13 (2 x 〖10〗^(-13)) at 1 second sample time and less than 2E-16 (2 x 〖10〗^(-16)) at one day sample times (1E5 seconds). - PPS output timing jitter must be better than 10 ps RMS Phase noise must be less than -155 dBc at 1 kHz offset from the carrier at 5 MHz. Environmental Sensitivity Requirements: - Temperature: Less than 1E-14 fractional frequency change for 1 degree Celsius change in temperature - Magnetic Field: Less than 5E-14 fractional frequency change for 1 Gauss change in magnetic field strength along any direction - Barometric pressure: Less than 5E-15 fractional frequency change for 1 kPA change in pressure - Humidity: Less than 2E-16 fractional frequency change for 10% change in humidity. - Power Requirements: Standard 100 V_ac wall plug, consuming no more than 100 Watts in continuous use and be capable of switching to battery power in the event of a power outage. Battery back-up shall be able to operate for at least 6 hours. - The overall volume must be less than 400 liters and weigh less than 600 pounds - The operating life shall exceed 15 years - The item requires installation at Kirtland AFB Firms responding to this announcement shall include company name, DUNS number, cage code, point of contact, address, and business size using NAICS Code 335999, Size Standard 500 employees. Statement of Capabilities (SOCs), limited to 2 pages and shall demonstrate experience in providing or manufacturing of product or capability to provide products meeting the specifications listed. Statement of Capabilities may be submitted by facsimile at (505) 846-8925 Attn: Katherine Dorn or preferably via E-mail to: [email protected].
