Purchase Order N6426724P0068

The U.S. Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA) awarded a firm fixed-price purchase order to Coherent NA, Inc., a subsidiary of Coherent Inc., for the delivery of a Coherent AVIA LX 355-20-50 SB 3.0 laser head system. The $52,762.62 contract has a completion date of March 12, 2024 and will provide the laser equipment to support hypersonic flow thermography research within a shock tube facility. This sole source award was made without a small business set-aside, as the Navy determined Coherent NA was the only responsible source able to meet the specialized technical requirements. Coherent Inc. is a global leader in engineered materials, optoelectronic components, and laser systems, and has received numerous prime contracts and subcontracts from federal agencies including the Department of Defense, Department of Energy, and NASA to deliver advanced laser technologies for scientific research and technology development initiatives.
