Summary
The Hydrogen Maser DTC Upgrade opportunity involves upgrading and verifying one Hydrogen Maser unit for the United States Naval Observatory (USNO). This project is critical as the Hydrogen Maser is a key component in maintaining the DoD Master Clock, which is essential for navigation and timekeeping within the Department of Defense. The work will include digital thermal control upgrades and will be performed at the manufacturer's facility, Microchip Technology, Inc., which is the only source capable of providing the necessary proprietary technology and expertise. Contractors with experience in high-precision atomic frequency standards and those who can meet stringent reliability and performance requirements are encouraged to bid on this opportunity, although it is primarily a sole-source procurement.
