- Description
- Solicitation: NB686010-11-02003BS Title: Tunable Stabilized Laser Head With Fiber Pigtail Connector ***NOAA's Acquisition & Grants Office, Western Acquisition Division-Boulder, intends to negotiate, on a sole source basis, under authority of FAR 13.106-1(b)(1), with Newport Corporation of Santa Clara, CA, for a New Focus Velocity Laser #6326-P-D Laser Head, without controller. ***The sole source determination is based on the National Institute of Standards and Technology's (NIST) requirement for a laser that is tunable over the laser wavelength range from 1470 to 1545 nm and includes a fiber pigtail connector. The laser must be compatible with existing New Focus controllers and data acquisition code. The New Focus Velocity Laser Head is compatible with the NIST Optical Fiber Power Meter (OFPM) Quality documentation. Purchase of a laser from another vendor would require extensive laser characterization measurements to ensure that the laser meets the performance specifications outlined in the OFPM quality documentation. In addition, re-writing some of the data acquisition software would be required. Both activities would cause significant delays and create unacceptable additional expenses. Through market research, NIST has determined that no other vendor can provide the required laser head. Delivery date shall be 80 days ARO. ***This notice of intent is not a request for competitive proposals and no solicitation package is available. However, firms that believe they can provide equipment that fully meets the Government's requirements may submit substantiating documentation in writing to the identified point of contact within 10 days after publication of this synopsis. Such documentation will be evaluated solely for the purpose of determining whether or not to conduct this procurement on a competitive basis. A determination by the Government not to conduct a competitive procurement, based upon responses to this notice, is solely within the discretion of the government. Oral communications are not acceptable in response to this notice.
