About this file
This is a Requirements and Specifications document for a federal procurement of specialized fiber optic equipment by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), Physical Measurement Lab, Time and Frequency Division. NIST seeks to procure one fiber fusion splicer capable of splicing multi-core and hollow-core fibers, along with one separately-priced fiber cleaver. The fusion splicer must be compact and portable without requiring vacuum pump or gas operation, feature high-resolution simultaneous end-view imaging of both fibers, include magnification capability for both side and end views, support fiber cladding diameters from 80 to 800 micrometers, provide rotational alignment resolution of 0.1 degrees, include a color display screen with internal memory for splice programs and data storage, support polarization-maintaining fiber splices with 40 dB extinction ratio capability, and come with fiber holders for coating diameters of 250, 300, 550, and 900 micrometers, along with a hard carrying case and vibration pad. The cleaver must be capable of cleaving hollow-core fibers without collapsing internal structure, support fiber cladding from 125 to 550 micrometers and coating from 250 to 900 micrometers, achieve cleave angles below 0.5 degrees for 400 micrometer cladding, and offer both external power and built-in rechargeable battery options.
Delivery, installation, and training must be completed within 12 weeks of award, with direct delivery to the building required. Installation services include vendor technician on-site setup, uncrating, equipment setup, and start-up services. The vendor must provide on-site training covering operations, maintenance, troubleshooting, and safety. Government acceptance testing is expected within 7 business days of receipt. Base manufacturer warranty is acceptable, and inspection must occur within 7 days of receipt. This is a Sources Sought pre-solicitation announcement conducted by NIST to identify qualified vendors before issuing a formal solicitation; the government indicates it will consider small business set-asides if at least two qualified small businesses are identified and will prioritize vendors that manufacture the product in the United States.

Requirements / Specification Document
Use this document to detail specifications/requirements for an item and/or ancillary services.
TITLE: Fiber fusion splicer and cleaver for multi-core and hollow-core fibers Requesting Lab/Division/Group: Physical Measurement Lab, Time and Frequency Division, Precision Photonic Synthesis General Statement of Need We require a specialty fiber splicing kit including a fusion splicer and a cleaver. The fiber fusion splicer capable of specialty fiber splicing specifically multi-core and hollow-core fibers. The splicer must be capable of repeatable and low loss splices of multicore and hollow core fibers. We also require a fiber cleaver that can cleave large core diameter fibers and hollow-core fibers at low angles and without damaging the delicate structure of the hollow-core fiber.
