About this opportunity

The Naval Supply Systems Command (NAVSUP) is seeking to procure a fully automated optical fabrication system for the Naval Ophthalmic Readiness Activity (NORA) Detachment Yorktown. The system must provide a complete solution package for conventional and digital lens surfacing, from lens blank to finished prescription product. Key requirements include the ability to handle high volume precision ophthalmic lens surfacing, accommodate a wide range of lens materials and prescriptions, and incorporate various automated subsystems such as lens blocking, generating, polishing, engraving, and hard coating. The system must be capable of producing a minimum of 150 complete lens jobs per hour and be compatible with the existing lab management software. The contractor will be responsible for delivering, installing, and maintaining the equipment within a 6-month period after contract award.

This opportunity is not set aside for any specific business category. The government has not provided any information about potential incumbents or current contractors. The government has not specified an award value or budget range for this procurement. The key numerical details include the ability to accommodate lens blanks from 48mm to 85mm in size and lens prescriptions ranging from -14.5 to +30 diopters.

Notice text

The Naval Ophthalmic Readiness Activity Detachment Yorktown has a requirement for a fully automated optical fabrication system. The system shall be designed as a complete solution package for conventional and digital lens surfacing from lens blank to prescription finished product. The system shall accommodate high volume precision ophthalmic lens surfacing and shall be designed as a complete and fully automated system from process start to process completion.

The system shall consist of the following automated sub systems.

         - Lens stock blank De-boxing system

         - Lens Blocking system (Auto and Manual)

         - Lens De-blocking system (Auto and Manual)

         - Lens Generating system

         - Lens Soft Polishing system

         - Lens Engraving/Marking system

         - Lens Washing system

         - Lens Hard Coating system

         - Fluid Management system with Micro Separator

         - Conveyor with incorporated Tray Management System and accommodations for additional Generating and Edging systems

The sub-system's lens cutting and polishing machinery shall have the capabilities to accommodate the following working ranges required by a prescription:

  • Lens generation

    • Concave: milling up to a minus (-)14.5 diopter/turning up to a minus (-)30 diopters
    • Convex: milling and turning up to a plus (+) 30 diopters
  • Lens Soft polishing
    • Concave: accommodate a base curve of 0 to minus (-)18 diopters
    • Cylinder: accommodate 0 to plus (+) 6 diopters
    • Accommodate any material lens blank in sizes of 48mm to 85mm

The sub-system's blocking machinery shall use a non-hazardous adhesive to attach a block to the lenses.

The sub-system's engraving system shall not use excimer technology due to associated costs and maintenance.

The sub-system's hard coating system shall utilize preferred spin coating technology.
