About this file

This document is a Request for Information (RFI) for an optical clock system sought by the Naval Research Laboratory (NRL). The RFI seeks 3 high-performance optical clock units with advanced timing architecture, capable of operating in a laboratory without special environmental controls and distributing time and frequency signals to seven remote assets over distances up to 10 kilometers. Key technical specifications include ultra-stable clock signals with precise Allan deviation measurements, low phase noise across multiple frequency ranges, minimal environmental sensitivity, and compact rack-mountable design.

The RFI is structured to identify potential qualified sources, with a focus on small business set-asides including veteran-owned, service-disabled veteran-owned, HUBZone, small disadvantaged, and women-owned businesses. Responses are due by 17 June 2025 at 5pm CST, with an anticipated firm fixed-price contract award and delivery expected by 31 December 2026. Interested contractors must submit detailed capabilities statements, past performance information, and company contact details via email to the designated contract specialist, with the solicitation number N00173-25-RFI-EN01 referenced in the subject line.

RFI No. N00173-25-RFI-EN01

SALIENT CHARACTERISTICS (DRAFT)

RFI N0017325RFIEN01 Salient Characteristics

In addition, the optical clock and timing architecture requires the following:

• Optical clocks for generating ultra-stable clock signals that can be steered by user

• Time and frequency distribution capability for delivering picosecond timing at the remote end for end-use by other instruments on-site.

• No requirement for special environmental chamber to maintain clock stability

• All components can fit in existing racks
