- Description
- Notice of Intent The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Acquisition Management Division intends to negotiate with Toptica Photonics located in Farmington, New York on a sole source basis under the authority of FAR Subpart 13.106-1(b), soliciting from a single source, for a mini wavelength-stabilized laser and amplifier at 759nm. Compact, wavelength stabilized laser sources are needed for laser spectroscopy in a transportable apparatus. Specific Requirements are as follows: Item 1: Miniaturized External Cavity Diode Laser Quantity: 1 Specifications: 1.1 External Cavity diode laser at 759.35 nm. 1.2 Total laser system must be packaged in standard 14 pin hermetically-sealed butterfly package. 1.3 Polarization maintaining fiber-coupled output. 1.4 Mode-hop free tuning range >10 GHz. 1.5 Coarse tuning range of 1 nm or more. 1.6 Laser linewidth 50 dB isolation. 1.9 Integrated thermoelectric cooler and thermistor Item 2: Miniaturized laser power amplifier Quantity: 1 Specifications: 1.1 Laser power amplifier at 759.35 nm. 1.2 Polarization maintaining fibercoupled input. 1.3 Free-space or fiber-coupled output. 1.4 Output power of 2 W for an input power of = 60 dB included, but isolators can be external to butterfly package. 1.7 If freespace output, the butterfly package must include integrated beam collimation. 1.8 Integrated thermoelectric cooler and thermistor This shall be provided and accomplished in accordance with these specifications. NAICS Code is 334516 � Analytical Laboratory Instrument Manufacturing, with a Size Standard of 1,000 employees. NIST anticipates negotiating and awarding a firm-fixed-price purchase order to Toptica Photonics for this requirement. Interested parties that can demonstrate they could satisfy the requirement listed above for NIST must clearly and unambiguously identify their capability to do so in writing on or before the response date for this notice. This notice of intent is not a solicitation. Information submitted in response to this notice will be used solely to determine whether competitive procedures could be used for this acquisition. If competitive procedures are not used it is estimated that an award will be issued 4th Quarter of FY22. Any questions regarding this notice must be submitted in writing via email to patricia.rose@Nist.gov . All responses to this notice of intent must be submitted to patricia.rose@nist.gov no later than the date and time provided herein this posting. Notice of Intent JUSTIFICATION FOR OTHER THAN FULL AN OPEN COMPETITION: Market research resulted in Toptica Photonics being the only vendor to provide a commercial miniaturized laser and laser amplifier at various wavelengths, including 759nm consistent with the technical specification requirements provided herein. A larger unit or unit that does not meet these specifications would be less accurate than what is required to proceed with the project, and NIST would have to attempt to develop something which would cause unreasonable costs, delays and lead to the project potentially failing or being cancelled.
