About this file
This document is a Single Source Justification for the purchase of a Keysight N7776C tunable laser system to support the government's efforts to build quantum local area networks. The laser is required to provide classical telecom signals for the hybrid quantum/classical network, and the existing Keysight infrastructure and expertise makes the Keysight laser the only compatible option.
The related federal contract opportunity, solicitation number FA875124Q0073, is a combined synopsis/solicitation for the Keysight laser system, which is being procured as a small business set-aside. The NAICS code is 334516 with a size standard of 1,000 employees. Offers are due by 3:00pm EST on May 2, 2024, and the government intends to award to the lowest priced technically acceptable offer. The contract will be firm-fixed price, with deliveries required within 6-18 weeks after receipt of order. All offerors must be authorized resellers/distributors for Keysight.

Single Source Justification (Simplified Acquisition)
April 2021 Page 1 of 2April 2021 Page 1 of 2
The Government requires a telecom tunable laser source, with an integrated power sensor and attenuator, from Keysight Technologies to support the branch's efforts to build quantum local area networks. The Keysight N7776C tunable laser system is a classical telecom source that is housed in a rack-mountable chassis, is a fiber-coupled laser, and comes with FC fiber connectors. The model 116 version emits radiation in the 1490-1640 nm wavelength range, with a peak power of about 13 dBm. The laser source has a narrow line-width and high wavelength accuracy and stability.
The required laser is essential the the Government's requirements and other companies' products do not meet and/or cannot be modified to meet the needs of the Government. RITQ requires this telecom laser as a source of classical signals within a hybrid quantum/classical local area network being designed and built at the Stockbridge research site.
The Government has determined that no other brand of devices with the required capabilities would be compatible with the existing Keysight infrastructure valued at . Switching to an alternate brand would lead to substantial duplication of cost, time, and effort for the Government leading to a duplication of costs not anticipated to be recovered through competition. Within its laboratories existing Keysight tunable laser "lightwave mainframe" systems. The team has extensive experience working with these lasers and uses them in a wide range of experiments. The team has also developed a
, an effort spanning many years. Purchasing a similar laser form another brand would cause delays in the Government's experiments due to the time it would take to learn how to work with the new equipment and develop new software. Therefore, to maximize equipment uniformity and to take advantage of existing in-laboratory expertise and sophisticated in-house software, RITQ requires the purchase of a Keysight tunable laser source for its new networking effort at the .
