This Statement of Work (SOW) details a NASA/GSFC bolometer system upgrade to be performed by QMC. The specific requirement involves adding a second detector capable of operating at frequencies up to 10 THz, which will be integrated into an existing unit. Technical specifications include a NbTES bolometer coupled to a f/4.5 Winston cone and a 10 THz low pass edge filter, with performance targets of a system noise equivalent power of 10-3.9 pW Hz-1/2 and a linear dynamic range exceeding 70 dB.

The project will be conducted as a sole-source contract under Solicitation Number 80NSSC254117, with all work to be performed at the vendor's facility. The performance location is NASA/Goddard Space Flight Center, and the warranty period is two years from receipt. NASA intends to issue this contract using commercial item procedures, with a NAICS code of 334516. Interested organizations may submit capabilities and qualifications by 11:59 a.m. Eastern Standard Time on 7/21/2025, with the government reserving the right to determine competitive approach based on received submissions.
