About this opportunity
AI summaryThe Air Force Metrology and Calibration Program seeks information from potential sources to procure 131 highly accurate, standardized, metrology-grade oscilloscopes. The acquired equipment will replace aging Test, Measurement, and Diagnostic Equipment across Precision Measurement Equipment Laboratories, the AFMETCAL engineering laboratory, active duty, guard, and Foreign Military Sales units. Key specifications require 2 or 4 input channels, a bandwidth of 1.5 to 2 GHz, native resolution of at least 12-bit across all modes, and an ISO/IEC 17025 accredited Certificate of Calibration. Both large and small businesses, including joint ventures and teaming arrangements, are encouraged to participate in this market research. Interested vendors must submit documentation demonstrating their capability to satisfy the technical requirements. If an entity lacks experience in certain areas, the submission must explain how it will overcome those gaps through teaming or subcontracting. The agency currently has no funds available for this acquisition and has not determined security clearance levels or foreign participation limits.
