66 -- CONTINUOUS WAVE ARGON ION LASER SOL DAAD07-95-R-0152 DUE 091195 POC For information contact Michaela J. Brown, Contract Specialist, at (505) 678-4717 or Dennis L. Sutton, Contracting Officer at (505) 678-3338. White Sands Missile Range, NM intends to negotiate, on the basis of other than full and open competition, with COHERENT, Inc, Laser Group, 8203 South Saint Paul Way, Littleton, CO 80122, in accordance with FAR 6.302-1, for the purchase of one (1) continuous wave (CW) argon ion laser (AIL). Specifically, a COHERENT, Inc, Laser Group, Model DBW 25/7 Innova Sabre CW AIL with visible and ultraviolet (UV) multiband and single line wavelength optics, accessories, operator kit to include but not limited to special tools, instruction and operator manuals, functional schematics, diagnostic repair manuals, electrical/electronic and mechanical function schematics, and operator training for ten (10) students. The requirement is for a field-usable integrated CW AIL rated at 25 watts (W) multiband. The CW AIL must be an integrated field-usable system in unit enclosures suitable for fork-lift loading and unloading, and transportable by a truck or van, and require only external electrical power and cooling water for operation. Required multiband wavelengths and laser beam powers levels are as follows: Visible: 454.5 nanometers (nm) to 528.7 nm, equal to or greater than 25 W; Standard UV: 333.6 nm to 363.8 nm, equal to or greater than 7.0 W; Long UV: 351.1 nm to 385.8 nm, equal to or greater than 4.4 W; Short UV: 300.3 nm to 335.8 nm, equal to or greater than 3.0 W; Deep UV: 275.4 nm, single line, equal to or greater than 400 milliwatts (mW). Routine operator conversion to either visible or UV multiband and single line wavelengths is required, including automatic operator and remote IEEE-488 computer selection of laser beam output power and all visible and UV single line wavelengths. Required delivery is FOB White Sands Missile Range, NM within 30 days after contract award. WRITTEN solicitation requests are preferred and should be sent to Mr. Willie Smith, at the address above or faxed to (505) 678-4975 or (505) 678-5107. Solicitation requests must be accompanied by descriptive literature suitable for evaluation purposes and must indicate that the potential offeror can meet the requirement for the above stated equipment. The solicitation will be issued on or about 11 Aug 95 with an estimated closing date of 11 Sep 95.
