About this award
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) awarded a $29.3K firm fixed-price purchase order to Raicol Crystals LTD., an Israeli optical crystal manufacturer, for the procurement of six periodically poled potassium titanyl phosphate (PPKTP) crystals with anti-reflection coatings optimized for dual-wavelength performance at 1550/775 nanometers. The award, issued September 16, 2025, with an ultimate completion date of January 16, 2026, was executed under Simplified Acquisition Procedures using a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable evaluation methodology. The solicitation, posted April 24, 2025, specified stringent technical requirements including precise crystal dimensions of 1 x 4 x 27.4 millimeters with apodized poling, with delivery required to NIST's Boulder, Colorado location within four weeks of order receipt.
The crystals will support NIST's quantum information science research initiatives, specifically for generating indistinguishable photons through spontaneous parametric down-conversion experiments. This represents NIST's second direct purchase from Raicol Crystals, following a $17.2K award in August 2021, demonstrating the contractor's established capability as a specialized supplier of advanced optical components for quantum optics applications. No set-aside designation was applied to this procurement, and no subcontractors were involved in the award. The contract reflects NIST's reliance on international specialized manufacturers capable of meeting demanding quantum research specifications that are critical to the agency's fundamental science mission.
