The Naval Sea Systems Command awarded an indefinite delivery contract under the High Energy Laser- Rapid Prototyping master IDIQ to Nlight Defense Systems, Inc. for the development and testing of directed energy weapons. With a potential value of $75 million, this multiple award contract enables rapid prototyping of high energy laser technologies at locations including Longmont, Colorado. A $500 firm fixed price delivery order to Nlight Defense Systems supports mandatory minimum obligations through September 2023. Originally, the Naval Surface Warfare Center Dahlgren Division sought proposals under a pre-solicitation notice to award an IDIQ to provide high energy laser rapid prototyping services. Services included hardware, software, and prototype systems fabrication and testing for deployment with an estimated budget of $50-100 million over five years. Respondents were required to hold ISO 9001:2008 and AS9100C certifications with secret facility clearance. Delivery order proposals would be evaluated on a lowest price technically acceptable basis considering past performance on quality and schedule. The contract aims to support extensive laboratory and field testing of multiple high energy laser systems in support of the development and testing of directed energy weapons.
