About this opportunity
The National Institute of Standards and Technology seeks quotations for one AlH+ photodissociation laser system, with proposals due July 30, 2026. This is a commercial items procurement under FAR Part 12 with lowest-priced technically acceptable (LPTA) evaluation.
Place of performance is Boulder, Colorado. The laser must operate continuously at 360.4 nm ± 0.1 nm with minimum 20 mW output power and power stability not exceeding 2% over 8 hours in a temperature-controlled laboratory environment (temperature variation < 0.5°C). The beam must be free-space in TEM00 spatial mode with M² ≤ 1.1 and divergence ≤ 1.0 mrad. The system must include all necessary cables, heat sinks, USB and RS-232 ports for computer control, and a compact plug-and-play design requiring minimal user alignment. Delivery, installation by vendor technician, and training must be completed within six weeks after receipt of order, with government acceptance testing expected to require 14 business days. Software and electronic manuals must be provided.
Quotations must remain valid for 160 days from the due date. Firm fixed pricing must be inclusive of all shipping and delivery to NIST at 325 Broadway, Boulder, CO 80305, with Net 30 payment terms. Technical quotations must demonstrate capability through product literature, drawings, and relevant specifications; restating requirements is insufficient. All offerors must maintain active SAM.gov registration with valid Unique Entity ID and provide country of origin/manufacture information. The NAICS code is 334516 (Analytical Laboratory Instrument Manufacturing); small business size standard is 1,000 employees. Evaluation is Acceptable/Unacceptable on technical capability and price for reasonableness.
