Femtosecond laser written fiber Bragg grating

NASA's Shared Services Center seeks femtosecond laser written fiber Bragg gratings to enable distributed strain and temperature measurements on small spacecraft and reentry vehicles. Quotes are due by December 7, 2023 and must be submitted in response to solicitation number SATPC0033585. The award will be made to the responsible offeror providing conforming goods at the lowest price. Laboratory testing of delivered items will occur in fiscal year 2024 at NASA's Armstrong Flight Research Center.

There is no set-aside designation for this requirement. The goods include gold-coated single-mode optical fiber with over 99.95% purity and a Bragg grating centered at 1550nm with over 40% reflectivity and less than 10dB bandwidth, positioned approximately 5mm long and 1m from the fiber end. Testing and delivery of these items must be completed by September 30, 2024 to support NASA's technology development goals.
