About this opportunity
The U.S. Army Contracting Command - Aberdeen Proving Ground seeks three multiple scientific laser systems and four replacement constituent components for atomic spectroscopy applications in quantum technologies, with proposals due June 16, 2026. This is a sole source procurement under FAR 6.302-1; Toptica Photonics is the only responsible source capable of meeting the requirements.
Place of performance is Hyattsville, MD 20783, with delivery and government inspection and acceptance at the Adelphi Laboratory Center, 2800 Powder Mill Road, Adelphi, Maryland 20783-1145. Delivery is required by September 30, 2026.
The procurement requires three laser systems: a continuously tunable diode laser spanning 750–790 nm with minimum 10 mW output, mode hop-free tuning, scan speed greater than 5 nm per second, instantaneous linewidth smaller than 500 kHz, at least 40 dB optical isolation, and fiber optic coupled output with frequency stabilization; a dual frequency external cavity diode laser operating at 780 nm and 776 nm, each generating at least 30 mW with 500 kHz linewidth and 60 dB isolation; and an external cavity diode laser at 420 nm with 30 mW output, 500 kHz linewidth, and 60 dB isolation. The four replacement components include a Pound-Drever-Hall demodulation module compatible with a Toptica Digital Laser Controller, a replacement ECDL laser head at 780 nm with 30 mW output and 60 dB isolation, a replacement diode and optical isolator for a Toptica DL PRO laser head at 1270 nm with 30 dB isolation, and a replacement tapered amplifier diode and optical isolator for a Toptica BoosTA system at 1270 nm providing at least 500 mW output power with 30 dB isolation.
The NAICS code is 334516 (Analytical Laboratory Instrument Manufacturing); PSC is 6640 (Laboratory Equipment and Supplies). The pricing arrangement is Firm Fixed Price. Contracting Officer is William Nuamah (520-672-9609, william.nuamah.civ@army.mil); Contract Specialist is Douglas Dennard (520-672-9560, douglas.c.dennard.civ@army.mil).
