About this award
Arete Associates' Colorado Office has been awarded a $81,242 firm fixed-price purchase order for the procurement of a LIDAR Transmitter Laser (part number NLRC701064AMIDSP-0001) by a civilian Shared Services Center on August 8, 2025. The contract, with an ultimate completion date of January 9, 2026, was conducted as a sole source acquisition under Total Small Business set-aside provisions. The laser system is specified to NASA's precise technical requirements, including a 1.06 micron wavelength, 70 millijoule pulse energy, 6 nanosecond pulse width, and 20 hertz repetition rate, with performance of work to occur at Niwot, Colorado.
The originating Special Notice, posted July 29, 2025, announced NASA's intent to proceed with sole source procurement from Arete Associates after determining the company was the only qualified provider of this specific laser technology. The acquisition was processed under FAR 13.106-1(b)(1)(i) and classified under NAICS code 334516 for Analytical Laboratory Instrument Manufacturing. The solicitation provided a brief window for other qualified organizations to submit capabilities and qualifications by July 31, 2025, though the government retained discretion to determine whether competitive procurement was feasible. NASA's decision to proceed with the sole source award to Arete Associates reflects the specialized and limited-availability nature of the required LIDAR transmitter technology.
