About this opportunity
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) is issuing a Request for Quotation (RFQ) for a THz Quantum Cascade Laser (THz-QCL) system. The Optical Measurements Group within NIST's Material Measurement Laboratory requires this laser system to test components for a spectro-radiometry calibration and measurement testbed. The key requirements include a continuous wave laser output from a distributed feedback laser array operating in the 3.7 THz to 3.9 THz frequency range, with a nominal output power of 0.2 mW or greater. The system must be cryogen-free, operate below 70 K, and include vibration damping, power supply, laser driver, water chiller, and vacuum system. NIST will award a purchase order to the responsible quoter submitting the lowest priced, technically acceptable quotation.
This RFQ is not set aside for any particular business size or socioeconomic status. The associated NAICS code is 334516 - Analytical Laboratory Instrument Manufacturing, with a small business size standard of 1,000 employees. No potential incumbents or specific budget details are provided. NIST requires delivery of one THz-QCL system to their Gaithersburg, MD facility within 52 weeks, with a 1-year warranty. Quotations must be submitted via email by 11:00 AM Eastern Time on July 5, 2024.

COMBINED SYNOPSIS/SOLICITATION 1333ND24QNB640351
THz Quantum Cascade Laser System
This is a combined synopsis/solicitation for commercial items prepared in accordance with the format in FAR Subpart 12.6- Streamlined Procedures for Evaluation and Solicitation for Commercial Items, as supplemented with additional information included in this notice. This announcement constitutes the only solicitation; quotations are being requested, and a separate written solicitation document will not be issued. This solicitation is being issued under the authority of FAR Part 13, Simplified Acquisition Procedures.
This solicitation is a Request for Quotation (RFQ). The solicitation document and incorporated provisions and clauses are those in effect through Federal Acquisition Circular (FAC) 2024-05, effective 5/22/2024.
The associated North American Industrial Classification System (NAICS) code for this procurement is 334516 – Analytical Laboratory Instrument Manufacturing with a small business size standard of 1,000 employees.
The Optical Measurements Group in in the Chemical Sciences Division of the Material Measurement Laboratory (MML) is responsible for spectrometer design and development within the FIRVIR for Climate Metrology IMS project. Part of that work, the Group requires laser sources at wavelengths from 15 μm to 100 μm to test components which will ultimately comprise a working spectro-radiometry calibration and measurement testbed. Thus, to advance the measurement goals of the group, a THz Quantum Cascade Laser system is required.
