About this opportunity
The Naval Research Laboratory issued a Notice of Intent to award a sole-source purchase order to Nuphoton Technologies, Inc., a small business, for a 2-meter fiber laser with a closing date of August 27, 2026. This procurement is restricted to the identified vendor; the notice is not a request for competitive proposals, and no solicitation package is available.
The requirement calls for a fiber laser with output power of at least 8 watts (preferably 10 watts) and a wavelength of 2036 nanometers or greater to support laser power beaming experiments under Work Unit 62A1N1 "Covert Microconcentrator-based Optical Beaming of Infrared Laser Energy (C-MOBILE)." The specified wavelength avoids water-vapor absorption in the atmosphere. NRL will execute the purchase under Simplified Acquisition Procedures within the $350,000 threshold.
The NAICS code is 334413 (Semiconductor and Related Device Manufacturing) with a 1,250-employee size standard; the PSC is 6640 (Laboratory Equipment and Supplies). Interested parties may submit capability statements by the August 27 deadline demonstrating clear and convincing evidence that competition would be advantageous to the Government. Responses will be evaluated solely to determine whether competitive procurement is warranted; the Government retains full discretion to proceed with the sole-source award.
