About this opportunity
The Department of the Army Materiel Command Mission and Installation Contracting Command Fort Drum is seeking to procure two specialized optical communication components: a lightwave modulator for QPSK/QAM applications and a 40 GB/s photoreceiver module. The lightwave modulator must be a dual Mach-Zehnder Interferometer capable of at least 40 Gb/s operation, featuring polarization maintaining optical fiber with FC/APC connectors, K connector RF inputs, integrated modulation drivers and electronics, bias control for stable modulation, and remote PC control capability. The photoreceiver module requires 30 GHz bandwidth, FC/APC optical input connectors, RF K connector electrical outputs, capability to receive up to 10mW optical input power, and a Noise Equivalent Power of 20 pW/sqrt(Hz) at 1 GHz or lower with USB computer control and graphical PC interface. Both items must include all required connector cables, operate on 120V US power, and include shipping costs. The solicitation was posted on July 7, 2025, with responses due by July 14, 2025, providing contractors with a tight one-week response window.
This procurement opportunity is designated as a Total Small Business set-aside, restricting participation to qualifying small business entities. The contract will be performed at West Point, NY 10996, indicating the equipment will be delivered to or installed at the United States Military Academy. The solicitation falls under NAICS code 334413 (Semiconductor and Related Device Manufacturing) and PSC code 6625 (Electrical and Electronic Properties Measuring and Testing Instruments), reflecting the highly technical nature of the optical communication equipment being procured. No incumbent contractors, specific award values, or budget ranges are mentioned in the solicitation notice. The procurement involves acquiring two distinct but complementary pieces of high-speed optical communication equipment, suggesting their use in advanced military communications or research applications. The technical specifications indicate these are precision instruments requiring specialized manufacturing capabilities and expertise in optical communications technology.
