About this opportunity
The National Institute of Standards and Technology seeks a femtosecond laser system through an RFQ, with offers due September 19, 2026, at 12:00 PM ET. The procurement is set aside for Women-Owned Small Businesses.
Place of performance is NIST's Gaithersburg, Maryland facility (Building 222, Room A155). The requisition comprises two line items: a femtosecond laser system specified as brand-name or equal to the Toptica Photonic FF Ultra 1050 II, and an acousto-optical modulator with integrated driver electronics, also brand-name or equal to Toptica Photonic. The laser must deliver center wavelength of 1053 nm ± 5 nm, passive mode-locking, high-power fiber amplifier, air-cooled supply, and average output power exceeding 4W. The modulator must provide modulation bandwidth exceeding 1 MHz and average output power exceeding 4W. Together, the system must achieve pulse duration under 100 femtoseconds, 80 MHz repetition rate, linear polarization exceeding 100:1, TEMoo beam shape with M2 less than 1.2, and free-space output coupling. The contractor must supply new equipment only—no used, refurbished, experimental, or gray market components—and ensure compatibility with NIST's existing Horiba LabRam HR Evolution optical spectrometer. Delivery is F.O.B. Destination within three months after order receipt. Installation, training for up to four people, and a minimum two-year warranty are required. Payment is 100% upon installation and acceptance; partial shipments require pre-approval. The NAICS code is 334516 with a size standard of 1000 employees. The PSC is 6650, Optical Instruments, Test Equipment, Components and Accessories.
