About this award
The U.S. Naval Observatory, under the Department of the Navy, awarded a $327,313 firm fixed-price purchase order to Vescent Technologies Inc., a small business manufacturer of precision laser and photonics technologies based in Golden, Colorado. The contract, which carries a total small business set-aside designation, calls for the delivery of an optical frequency comb system with specific technical specifications outlined in the original solicitation. The system must be a turn-key fiber frequency comb centered near 1560 nanometers with a 200 megahertz repetition rate and frequency stability below 10^-15 at one second, along with frequency-comb extensions at multiple wavelengths (1315 nm, 915 nm, 846 nm, and 862 nm) and beat-detection units with microwave and RF generation capabilities. Performance is expected to be completed by December 30, 2025, with the work performed at Vescent's Golden, Colorado facility.
Vescent Technologies is well-positioned to execute this requirement, having established itself as a reliable federal contractor specializing in optical frequency comb lasers and quantum sensing technologies across multiple agencies including NASA, the Department of Defense, and the Department of Energy. The company's prior experience includes significant contract awards for advanced optical systems and atomic clock technologies, such as a $13.45 million cost-plus-fixed-fee contract with the Office of Naval Research for a Compact Rubidium Optical Clock and multiple Small Business Innovation Research awards. This purchase order supports the Naval Observatory's Clock Development Division efforts to advance precision timekeeping capabilities critical to naval operations and scientific research.
