About this opportunity
The Air Force Test Center's Installation Contracting Division at Arnold Air Force Base is seeking commercial lamp-pumped Nd:YAG laser systems through this Sources Sought Notice. The government requires four laser units operating at 532nm wavelength with specific performance parameters including 370 millijoules of energy per pulse at 10 Hz repetition rate, pulse width less than 15 nanoseconds, and energy stability better than 2% RMS. Key specifications include a beam diameter smaller than 12mm with 3 milliradians divergence, vertical polarization with greater than 98% spectral purity, and an RS232 computer interface with a 3-meter cable. The government has identified the Lumibird part number DRL 1430523-10 as a baseline product while explicitly permitting bidders to propose equivalent commercially available alternatives that meet all stated specifications. Interested small and large businesses must submit responses by 1:00 PM Central Time on March 20, 2026, including company information, SAM UEI Number, technical solution, budgetary estimate with delivery to Arnold AFB, and projected delivery timeline.
This pre-solicitation notice carries no set-aside designation and is informational only, with the government incurring no obligation to award a contract. No current incumbents or contractors are identified in the notice, and no specific award value or budget range has been disclosed at this preliminary stage. The procurement specifies a quantity of four laser systems with power requirements of 200-240VAC at 50/60Hz with current draw less than 10 amperes. Interested companies should direct submissions to Ms. Lindsay Jones and Ms. Brooke Vandeman at the provided contact addresses, understanding that this Sources Sought Notice is designed to assess market availability and technical capability rather than solicit binding quotes or proposals.
