Optomechanical Components and Light Sources

The National Institute of Standards and Technology is requesting quotes for optomechanical components and light sources to support development of characterization techniques for EUV scintillator materials, with quotes due September 4 at 10:00 AM ET and questions due August 31 at 10:00 AM ET.

This is an unrestricted, firm-fixed-price purchase order with no small business set-aside. Place of performance is the United States, with delivery required within four weeks after receipt of order to NIST Gaithersburg, Building 301, 100 Bureau Drive. The procurement calls for Thorlabs or equivalent optomechanical components, light sources, and associated kits specified across 32 line items, including ultraviolet and visible light sources (280 nm and 385 nm mounted LED units; 520 nm compact laser modules), USB-controlled LED drivers, power supplies, lens tubes, kinematic adapters, beam splitters, pinholes, iris diaphragms, comprehensive optomechanical essentials kits with posts, bases, optic mounts, cage assemblies, N-BK7 lenses, mounting base plates, and associated infrastructure. All items must be new with original manufacturer packaging and documentation. Minimum quote validity is 90 calendar days. Technical evaluation is pass/fail based on demonstrated ability to meet all Statement of Work requirements; price is the determining factor among technically acceptable quotations. Mandatory requirements include a one-year minimum warranty, cybersecurity and privacy protections consistent with federal standards, compliance with Buy American provisions, and standard FAR and CAR clauses. The NAICS code is 334516, Analytical Laboratory Instrument Manufacturing; PSC is 6640, Laboratory Equipment and Supplies. Quotes must be submitted electronically to Jennifer.lohmeier@nist.gov.
