About this award
The Air Education and Training Command (AETC) awarded a $560,591 firm fixed-price purchase order to Bertin Alpao for the procurement of an Adaptive Optics System for the Air Force Institute of Technology (AFIT) located at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base in Ohio. The contract, awarded on September 22, 2025, with a completion deadline of June 23, 2026, is not subject to any small business set-aside designation. The adaptive optics system represents a critical capability for AFIT's quantum communication applications and will include a comprehensive kit featuring a deformable mirror with 820 actuators, a Shack-Hartmann wavefront sensor with 64x64 sub-apertures, and a real-time computer capable of 5000Hz frame rates to support advanced optical research and testing initiatives.
The originating market research solicitation, posted in April 2025, outlined technical specifications and delivery requirements including a nine-month delivery window following contract approval, a one-year warranty, and three days of on-site training for up to three personnel at the manufacturer's facility. This procurement emerged from the Air Force Life Cycle Management Center's market research efforts to identify capable sources for advanced optical systems supporting the service's science and technology objectives. Bertin Alpao, as the selected prime contractor, will be responsible for delivering the complete system meeting AFIT's quantum communication research requirements with no noted subcontractors identified in this acquisition.
