759 nm Butterfly Packaged Lasers & Laser Amplifiers

The National Institute of Standards and Technology seeks three laser-based instruments—two semiconductor laser amplifiers with evaluation board mounts, three external cavity diode lasers, and one distributed feedback laser, all operating at 759 nm—with quotations due August 13, 2026. The procurement is unrestricted and conducted under FAR Part 12 commercial acquisition procedures as an RFQ using Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) evaluation.

Place of performance is Boulder, Colorado (325 Broadway, Boulder, CO 80305). All items require standard 14-pin hermetically-sealed butterfly packaging and polarization-maintaining fiber-coupled output with APC connectorization. The semiconductor laser amplifiers must deliver minimum output power of 1.5 W, the external cavity diode lasers must have mode-hop-free tuning range greater than 10 GHz and linewidth less than 150 kHz with minimum output power of 10 mW, and the distributed feedback laser must deliver minimum output power of 12 mW with linewidth of 2 MHz or less. All items include integrated thermoelectric cooler and thermistor. NAICS code is 334515 (Instrument Manufacturing for Measuring and Testing Electricity and Electrical Signals); PSC is 6640 (Laboratory Equipment and Supplies). Delivery is 18 weeks after receipt of order, with government acceptance expected within 21 business days. Pricing must be firm-fixed and include all shipping and delivery fees. Quotations remain valid for 160 days and must be submitted electronically to lisa.stevens@nist.gov. Vendors must maintain active SAM registration with completed Representations and Certifications. Payment terms are Net 30; electronic invoicing is required through direct email to INVOICE@NIST.GOV or the Treasury Invoice Processing Platform.
