IPG 20KW Laser Collimator

The Department of the Navy Naval Sea Systems Command is seeking to procure an IPG F160 Collimator (Part #P30-003356-0E3) specifically designed for their 20kW IPG laser system at the High Energy Laser Metrology (HELMet) lab located in Norco, CA. This is a combined synopsis/solicitation for a commercial item with an all-or-none requirement, meaning partial quotes will be deemed unresponsive and will not be evaluated. The solicitation is being conducted as a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) procurement, with award made to the most advantageous responsible offeror who meets all specified requirements. Potential suppliers must be registered in the System for Award Management (SAM) and can be an original equipment manufacturer, authorized dealer, distributor, or reseller with proof of authorization from IPG Photonics. Electronic quotes in PDF or MS Word format are due by January 24, 2025, with a 30-day quote validity period, and offerors must provide details including CAGE code, delivery date, pricing, and part numbers.

There are no specific set-aside designations for this procurement, and the contract will be awarded directly to IPG Photonics under contract number N6426725Q4025-BNJ. The procurement is for a single new collimator with a 12-month manufacturer warranty, to be delivered within 30 days after contract award. Gray market, used, or remanufactured items are explicitly not acceptable. The total procurement is for one unit, with delivery to the Naval Surface Warfare Center in Norco, California. The solicitation falls under the Semiconductor Machinery Manufacturing NAICS category (333242) and Laboratory Equipment and Supplies PSC category (6640), with a firm-fixed-price structure. The government has indicated this is a sole-source procurement based on the specific compatibility requirements with their existing laser system, which could potentially cause technical complications or expensive repairs if an alternative manufacturer's equipment were used.
