The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) awarded a firm fixed-price purchase order to Xsoptix LLC for $76,565.80 on August 28, 2026, to supply butterfly-packaged semiconductor lasers and amplifiers at 759 nm. Xsoptix is a woman-owned small business headquartered in Madison, Connecticut. Performance will occur in Germany. The order calls for three laser types: two semiconductor laser amplifiers with polarization-maintaining fiber-coupled input and free-space collimated output (minimum 1.5 W output power), three external cavity diode lasers with polarization-maintaining fiber output and greater than 10 GHz mode-hop-free tuning range, and one distributed feedback laser with 12 mW output power. All devices must use standard 14-pin hermetically-sealed butterfly packaging with integrated thermoelectric coolers compatible with Arroyo 6340 laser controller mounting. Delivery, installation, and training must be completed within 16 to 18 weeks from award; government acceptance testing requires 21 days. Ultimate completion date is January 27, 2027. The requirement originated from a market research sources sought issued July 24, 2026 (NAICS 334516, PSC 6640).
