About this award

The U.S. Naval Observatory awarded a $116.4K firm fixed-price purchase order to Vexlum OY (doing business as Vexlum LTD), a Finland-based laser technology manufacturer, on January 22, 2025, for delivery of a nanometer-precision laser system. The contract, which originated from a full and open competition solicitation posted by Naval Supply Systems Command Fleet Logistics Center Norfolk in December 2024, requires delivery of a VALO SF-Direct single-frequency VECSEL laser system with an 813.429nm center wavelength, minimum 1W output power, and 1GHz mode-hop free tuning range, along with a low-vibration chiller featuring a 200W water-to-air heat exchanger. Performance is scheduled for completion by September 25, 2025, with work to be conducted at the Naval Observatory's Clock Development Division in Washington, DC.

This procurement supports the Naval Observatory's advanced timekeeping and quantum technology research capabilities. Vexlum OY, registered in SAM.gov since August 2019, has established a track record of providing highly specialized optical and laser systems to multiple U.S. defense and scientific agencies, including the Office of Naval Research, Army Materiel Command, and the National Institute of Standards and Technology. The contract involves no set-aside designation and was awarded through full and open competition, consistent with Vexlum's previous federal procurement history with defense and civilian research agencies.
