NB688000-26-01761 High Accuracy Laser Wavelength Meter

The National Institute of Standards and Technology seeks one high accuracy laser wavelength meter capable of measuring laser frequency with precision at the 10 MHz level and simultaneously frequency stabilizing multiple lasers, with quotations due July 24, 2026 and questions due July 17.

The procurement is unrestricted (no set-aside). Place of performance and acceptance is Boulder, Colorado. The instrument must measure wavelengths across a range of 330 nm to 1180 nm with measurement accuracy of 10 MHz or better over 375 nm to 1180 nm and wavelength resolution of 200 kHz or better. It must feature an integrated Photonic Crystal Fiber 1x8 switch accommodating up to eight simultaneous laser inputs without accuracy degradation, PID frequency stabilization capability for locking up to eight lasers simultaneously with programmable analog voltage control, USB control with graphical user interface software, and maintain performance across an air pressure range of 440–900 mm Hg and temperature range of 0–40°C. Delivery, installation, and training must be completed no later than 14 weeks after receipt of order, with government acceptance expected within 21 days.

The NAICS code is 334516, Analytical Laboratory Instrument Manufacturing, with a small business size standard of 1,000 employees. The PSC code is 6640, Laboratory Equipment and Supplies. All proposed equipment must be new. Award will be made on a best-value basis considering technical capability, delivery, experience, and price. Quotations must be submitted in three volumes (Technical, Price, and Terms and Conditions) with firm fixed pricing including all shipping and delivery costs. Quoters must be registered in SAM.gov with an active Unique Entity Identifier and must explicitly accept or document exceptions to solicitation terms.
