Description

This serves as a "Notice of Intent" to issue a purchase order under the Simplified Acquisition Procedures to Space Optics Research Laboratory LLC, Chelmsford, MA on a Sole Source basis to purchase a laser beam expander to be used as an afocal reflecting telescope. The specifications are as follows: all reflective design, MUST work as a telescope; spectral coverage: 0.4?m to 5.5?m; magnification factor: 15x; large aperature:150mm; small aperature: 10mm; system wave front error: Lambda λ5 at 6328 Ǻ Angstrom; mirror material: low thermal expansion glass/ceramic composite (a) and system weight: less than 60 lbs. Zerodur is a commercially available material that can be used. The vendor/supplier must ensure that the optics are aligned so that the laser beam expander will work as a magnifying telescope. This requirement is determined to be available from only one source because of the unique features and proprietary nature of the system. No formal request will be issued for this procurement. All potential offerors should contact the buyer/PCO identified in this notice for additional information and/or to communicate concerns, if any, concerning this acquisition. Space Optics Laboratory Research is a small business and FAR Part 12 applies. All interested parties must be a small business. Questions concerning this requirement may be directed to Marietta Sciaraffa at 781-377-6737. See Note 22.
