About this file
This document outlines a federal contract opportunity for a compact neodymium:yttrium aluminum garnet (Nd:YAG) high energy pulsed laser system with custom beam shaping optics. The solicitation requests one laser that meets the salient characteristics in an attached document, including a wavelength of 1064 nanometers, energy output of at least 7 joules per pulse, pulse width between 10-20 nanoseconds, beam diameter of 1-4 millimeters, and other specified optical and performance requirements. Offerors must provide the laser, delivery, installation, and training at the Army Research Laboratory in Aberdeen Proving Ground, Maryland within 16 weeks of award. The response date for this small business set-aside opportunity is September 16, 2020. Evaluation criteria include price, technical capabilities, past performance, and the solicitation will be awarded to the offer most advantageous to the government.
The solicitation incorporates various FAR and DFARS clauses and is issued by the Army Contracting Command at Aberdeen Proving Ground, Maryland for the Department of the Army Materiel Command.

Signature (typed name): Frank De Lucia Technical Point of Contact (TPOC)
Contract Line Item Number (CLIN) 0001: The Contractor shall provide one (1) Pulsed Neodymium: Yttrium Aluminum Garnet (Nd: YAG) Laser that meets the following minimum specifications:
· Shall have a laser wavelength at 1064 nanometers (nm).
· Shall provide at least seven (7) joules (J) of energy in a single beam and a single pulse.
· Shall maintain a pulse to pulse energy variation less than or equal to 1% root mean square (rms) over 1000 shots.
· Shall maintain a pulse to pulse energy variation less than or equal to 2.5% rms over eight (8) hours.
· Shall maintain a laser pulse width (full width at half maximum (FWHM)) between ten (10) and twenty (20) nanoseconds (ns).
· Shall provide a beam diameter of no more than twenty-five (25) millimeters (mm).
· Shall provide a pulse repetition rate of five (5) Hertz (Hz).
· Shall provide a laser that is spatially multimode with a beam quality factor (M2) within a range of 22-27 (M2).
· Shall provide a laser head footprint no larger than 50 x 20 x 10 inches.
· Shall include a dedicated optical set-up coupled to the laser to deliver appropriate beam profile onto the target.
· The output laser energy from the optical set-up shall be greater than 75% of the input laser energy.
· Shall provide the following spatial beam characteristics on the target: a flat-top round beam with a supergaussian spatial distribution with an order of eight (8) minimum. The Government defines the supergaussian intensity distribution as I(r) = I0 * exp[-2(r/r0)n]).
· Shall provide a spatial modulation on the plateau within 4% rms. The Government defines the plateau of the supergaussian intensity distribution as the central zone of the beam whose intensity is greater than 95% of the max level of the intensity of the least-square best fit curve.
· Shall provide a beam spot of one (1) mm to four (4) mm onto the target with no major change of beam distribution within +/- five (5) mm of depth of focus for the smaller spot size.
· The Contractor shall discuss design and implementation of dedicated optical set-up prior to installation.
· The Contractor shall provide two (2) hard copies of the operator manual.
CLIN 0002: The Contractor shall provide delivery, installation, set-up and testing at the ARL in Aberdeen Proving Ground, Maryland 21005-5066 within sixteen (16) weeks After Contract Award (ACA).
· The Contractor shall provide a minimum of four (4) hours of on-site training at ARL, APG, MD for up to three (3) ARL employees/contractors on day to day operation of the laser.
