- Description
- The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) intends to negotiate, on a sole source basis, under the authority of FAR 13.106(b)(1), with Newport Corporation for a tunable laser near 895 nanometers to be used by the NIST Information Technology Laboratory (ITL). ***** NIST ITL requires a laser that meets all of the following requirements: - Wavelength tuning range 890-940 nm with a readout resolution of 0.01 nm. - Minimum output power (fiber coupled) 5 mW in the tuning range. - Spectral linewidth < 200 kHz, maintained for at least 50 ms. - External and internal (with reference signal output) fine frequency modulation capability. The modulation bandwidth >100 Hz (to 2 KHz) for 100 GHz (to >20 GHz) amplitude. - Built-in isolator provides 35 dB isolation. - PM fiber coupling with FC/APC connector at an efficiency no less than 50%. - Computer communication, USB interface include a Windows application and LabVIEW Vis. Newport Corporation is the only laser manufacturer that produces a laser with both: 1. a wide tuning range that covers 895 nm and; 2. Fine tuning (external & internal with reference) Newport Corporation does not use any resellers and therefore, is the only company authorized to sell Newport lasers. *****The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code for this acquisition is 334516 - Analytical Laboratory Instrument Manufacturing with a small business size standard of 1,000 employees. ****** A determination by the Government whether to compete the proposed acquisition based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. Information received will be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement. *****No solicitation package will be issued. This notice of intent is not a request for quotations. Interested parties that believe they can satisfy the requirements listed above must identify their capability in writing before the response date of this notice. Only responses received by March 8, 2016, 1:00 p.m., EST will be considered by the government. Responses shall be submitted via email to amber.gray@nist.gov
