About this opportunity
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) is seeking to procure a high-power, single-frequency 532 nm laser for optical trapping of laser-cooled molecules in its Fundamental Thermodynamics Group. The procurement is being conducted under simplified acquisition procedures with a NAICS classification of Analytical Laboratory Instrument Manufacturing. Vendors must submit electronic quotations in three volumes: Technical Quotation, Price Quotation, and Terms and Conditions, with all submissions requiring SAM registration and compliance with detailed technical specifications. The government will award a single purchase order to the responsible offeror with the lowest-priced, technically acceptable quotation. Quotations must be submitted electronically by March 28, 2025, to Contract Specialist Nina Lin and Contracting Officer Joni Laster, with pricing remaining valid for 90 days.
The solicitation does not have a specific small business set-aside, and the procurement is for one new, factory-packaged laser with at least 18 W of output power. The place of performance will be in Gaithersburg, MD 20899, where the laser will be used for advanced scientific research in quantum metrology. No specific award value or budget range is explicitly stated in the documents, though the procurement appears to be for a single high-precision scientific instrument. Potential vendors must provide original manufacturer documentation, ensure the laser meets precise technical requirements, and confirm the equipment is new and authorized for U.S. sale. The procurement is seeking a commercial off-the-shelf laser that meets stringent technical specifications for molecular physics research.
