STATEMENT OF WOR/REQUIREMENTS DOCUMENT

Title: Picoquant Picosecond pulsed diode laser Requesting Lab: Information Technology Division

I. BACKGROUND INFORMATION

The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST)/Quantum Information Group applies expertise in mathematical subdisciplines such as combinatorics, graph theory, network science, operations research, optimization, discrete nonlinear dynamics, computational geometry, quantum mechanics, and information theory. Researchers apply their knowledge and skills in areas such as the experimental quantum optics, fundamental models of physics, chemistry, biology, and information systems, complex systems analysis, pattern recognition, and quantum computing and communications. In collaboration with NIST and outside scientists, the group develops, analyzes, and applies related mathematical and experimental methods and tools for critical problems of measurement science at NIST, and develops mathematical foundations for the measurement science of information systems.

Purpose/Objective: The purpose of this requirement is to obtain Picoquant Picosecond pulsed diode lasers to be used for the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) Quantum-Augmented Network (QuANET) phase 2 integration event to characterize the optical fiber links used in this event. The lasers will be integrated into our quantum network and component measurement suite as a moveable rack-mounted light source capability. It will assist with NIST’s research of developing a moveable measurement test suite for quantum network component and protocol testing, verification, and characterization, as well as DARPAs QuANET phase 2 event. This test suite will be implemented on the Washington Metropolitan Quantum Network Research Consortium (DC-QNet) infrastructure with a fiber network dedicated to quantum optical signal transfer between various quantum network nodes.

V. DELIVERY TERMS

Delivery shall be F.O.B Destination and shall occur in accordance with the delivery due dates provided in the above table.

FOB Destination means: The contractor shall pack and mark the shipment in conformance with carrier requirements, deliver the shipment in good order and condition to the point of delivery specified in the purchase order, be responsible for any loss of and/or damage to the goods occurring before receipt and acceptance of the shipment by the consignee at the delivery point specified in the purchase order; and pay all charges to the specified point of delivery. The contractor shall deliver all Line Items to:

National Institute of Standards and Technology Shipping and Receiving 100 Bureau Drive, Building 301 Gaithersburg, MD 20899 C/O Thomas Gerrits, Building 220/A225

***Due to ongoing limited site access of the NIST facilities, the Awardee SHALL confirm with the Designated Government Official and the Contracting Officer prior to ANY shipment to NIST***

VI. INSPECTION & ACCEPTANCE

In addition to the inspection and acceptance terms articulated in 52.212-4, the Government reserves the right to perform such performance tests and evaluations as defined below to verify specified system performance. Such tests and evaluations, if performed, shall be conducted within the environment that the system is to be operated. The Contractor has the right to be present during the tests and evaluations, if performed, at the Contractor’s expense.

Performance Tests:

1. Evaluation of the system’s center wavelength, pulse and spectral width to ensure conformance with stated requirements.

A visual inspection of the equipment will be performed by the NIST TPOC to identify surface defects or any form of indication that any equipment was damaged during transport to NIST. The Government shall have sole discretion to require repair or replacement of damaged and/or nonconforming supplies at no cost to the Government. The Government at any time prior to acceptance shall reject the equipment due to defects and/or nonconformance. The vendor is responsible for latent defects discovered any time after final inspection. However, the extent of its liability shall be prorated over the useful life of the equipment.

Ownership of the equipment shall transfer to NIST upon acceptance by the Government.

The Government will test, inspect, and accept or reject the equipment within two (2) weeks of the receipt of the equipment unless otherwise indicated above. The Government reserves the right to conduct quality assurance testing to confirm that a given instrument(s) meets the manufacturer’s and/or the Government’s performance specifications. It is anticipated that the equipment will meet all manufacturer’s specifications and/or the Government’s performance specifications identified in the most recent operations and maintenance manual for each piece of equipment and/or in this document.

VII. WARRANTY

The contractor shall warrant the entire system for one year in accordance with the contractor’s commercial warranty terms and the terms of FAR 52.212-4. Warranty shall commence upon acceptance of the system by the Government.

VIII. PAYMENT SCHEDULE

Advance payment is not authorized. The Contractor must invoice in arrears according to the payment schedule. The Contractor shall be paid, in accordance with Net 30-day payment terms, upon receipt and acceptance of a proper invoice, in accordance with the following schedule:

1. 100% Payment after receipt and acceptance by the NIST of the system, after the testing procedures set forth in this document have been complete

NOTE: Partial shipments and partial invoices will not be accepted.

***Due to ongoing limited site access of the NIST facilities, the Awardee SHALL confirm with the Designated Government Official and the Contracting Officer prior to ANY shipment to NIST***
