The National Institute of Standards and Technology issued a purchase order to Stable Laser Systems Inc. for $58,426.00 on September 10, 2026, to supply a multiwavelength tunable stable optical cavity system, with completion targeted for January 12, 2027. Work is performed in Boulder, Colorado. The order calls for one new optical reference cavity in a vacuum package with finesse greater than 10,000 at wavelengths of 852 nm, 510 nm, 638 nm, and 656 nm, including zero crossing temperature characterization and temperature control. Delivery must occur no later than 18 weeks after receipt of order. Installation services include on-site vendor technician setup, turn-key installation, and training covering operations, maintenance, troubleshooting, and safety. NIST expects acceptance testing within 7 business days of delivery. The order originated from a sources-sought notice posted May 8, 2026, with responses due May 18, 2026, in which NIST conducted market research to identify vendors capable of supplying the system and flagged potential small business set-aside eligibility if at least two qualified small businesses responded.
