The Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) intends to award a firm-fixed-price purchase order in accordance with FAR 13.501(a) to Vector Atomic Inc, Inc. located at 6870 Koll Center Parkway, Pleasanton CA 94566.

Crucially, these clocks must maintain sub-nanosecond holdover for at least 6 months with minimal drift, operating at room temperature in a standard conditioned lab space. Furthermore, a time and frequency distribution system is required to transport the microwave clock signals to remote locations (≤10 km) with ≤5 ps precision at 10 seconds integration, automatically compensating for time-varying path length changes, along with dispersion effects if using fiber.
This sole source (brand name) requirement meets the conditions of 41 U.S.C. 1901(e)(2) as implemented by FAR 13.501(a), wherein only an item peculiar to one manufacturer is able to provide the supplies and/or services that will satisfy the Agency requirements.
