Replacement high-power CW DPSS Laser Part NIDDK

The National Institutes of Health, specifically the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) in support of the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK), is seeking to procure a replacement high-power continuous-wave diode-pump solid-state (DPSS) laser part for their existing laser system equipment. This procurement is structured as a non-competitive purchase order, meaning the government intends to award directly to a single vendor without full and open competition. The specific requirement is for a Spectra Physics Millennia eV 532 nm laser with precise technical specifications, including 5W continuous-wave output power, needed by the Laboratory of Chemical Physics. The solicitation notice was posted on September 3, 2025, with a response deadline of September 17, 2025. The procurement falls under NAICS code 334510 for Electromedical and Electrotherapeutic Apparatus Manufacturing and PSC code 6640 for Laboratory Equipment and Supplies.

This opportunity does not utilize any set-aside designations and is open to unrestricted competition, though the government has indicated its intent to award non-competitively. Newport Corporation has been identified as the intended recipient of this purchase order, suggesting they are either the sole source provider or have proprietary technology required for this specific laser replacement part. The solicitation reference number is 75N94025Q00228, and while specific contract values are not disclosed in the pre-solicitation notice, the procurement appears to be for a single unit replacement part rather than multiple quantities. The government file indicates this is a specialized piece of laboratory equipment requiring exact specifications to maintain compatibility with existing NIDDK research systems.
