About this opportunity
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) is seeking to procure a single frequency laser with a 1396nm wavelength for use in quantum sensing research involving a strontium optical lattice clock with integrated photonics. The laser must meet highly specialized technical requirements including a continuous wave output, wavelength range of 1340-1450 nm, optical frequency stability less than 100 MHz per Kelvin, short-term linewidth of 100 kHz or less, and optical isolation of 35 dB. Additional specifications require an optical fiber-coupled output, electronic controller with touchscreen display, power rating over 80 mW, and various modulation and control capabilities. The solicitation will be evaluated using a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) methodology, with offerors required to demonstrate technical capability through product literature and detailed descriptions that meet the outlined specifications. Quotations must be submitted electronically by 11:00 AM Mountain Standard Time on August 4, 2025, with a required delivery timeline of 12 weeks after receipt of order.
This procurement is being conducted as an unrestricted solicitation with no set-aside designation, operating under Simplified Acquisition Procedures with a small business size standard of 1,000 employees. The contract requires delivery of one unit to NIST's facility at 325 Broadway, Boulder, Colorado 80305, with FOB Destination terms. The procurement includes not only the laser hardware but also software, electronic manuals, a license key, and a comprehensive 12-month/3000-hour warranty. Delivery, installation, and training must be completed within 16 weeks after receipt of order, followed by a planned government acceptance testing period lasting 7 business days. Payment terms are specified as Net 30, though no specific contract value or budget range has been disclosed in the solicitation documents.
