NIST seeks Ku-band satellite transponder bandwidth for research.
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) requires Ku-band geostationary satellite transponder bandwidth for its research and measurement activities. The procurement covers a specific bandwidth allocation on a geostationary satellite, likely for data transmission or communication experiments. NIST is the buyer, serving its own scientific and technical missions. No specific qualifications or set-asides are mentioned, but the requirement for satellite bandwidth suggests technical expertise in satellite communications may be needed. The scale is not explicitly stated, but it is a single solicitation for bandwidth services.
