AFMETCAL at Heath, OH intends to solicit, negotiate and award a sole source firm-fixed price (FFP) purchase order under FAR 13, Simplified Acquisition Procedures, to Femtochrome Research, Inc.

The proposed North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code for this acquisition is 334516, size standard 1000 employees. This purchase order will be for an Autocorrelator (850-1800nm, 195 ps scan range) manufactured by Femtochrome. The autocorrelator will be used in support of the Department of Defense Calibration Coordination Group (DOD/CCG) Project #632, Fast Pulse Oscilloscope Calibration System (FPOCS), for which AFMETCAL is partnering with the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). For this CCG project, NIST is modifying a system that it has already developed and used; this system requires the referenced autocorrelator from Femtochrome in order to properly interface with previously developed NIST software and hardware, and thus essential to completion of this Air Force requirement.
