About this opportunity

The Department of the Navy Naval Supply Systems Command is seeking to procure a high-power 1315nm laser system from TOPTICA Photonics Inc. through a sole source acquisition. The solicitation, issued under RFQ number N0018925Q0083, is for a rack-mounted laser system to be used by the US Naval Observatory's Clock Development Division for atomic clock technology and optical spectroscopy. The procurement will result in a Firm-Fixed-Price contract under NAICS 334516, with specific technical requirements including a 1314.99nm center wavelength, 400mW fiber-coupled output power, automatic alignment optimization, and 30 GHz mode-hop free tuning. Quotations must be submitted via email to Megan Evans by February 4, 2025, at 6:00 AM EST, with all respondents required to be registered in the System for Award Management (SAM) database. Evaluation will likely focus on technical compliance, pricing, and the vendor's ability to meet the detailed specifications outlined in the Statement of Work.

The solicitation is not set aside for any specific business category, with a small business size standard of 1,000 employees. The contract is intended for a single vendor, TOPTICA Photonics Inc., through a sole source justification. Delivery of the laser system is required within 9 months of award, with the place of performance being the US Naval Observatory located at 3450 Massachusetts Ave. NW in Washington, DC 20392. While specific award value is not explicitly stated, the procurement will be conducted using Simplified Acquisition Procedures for commercial items. Quotations must include comprehensive information such as pricing, FOB point, delivery date, point of contact details, GSA contract number (if applicable), business size, and NET 30 payment terms. The technical complexity of the laser system, which includes requirements like 1Hz laser narrowing, integrated thermal management, and PM fiber output with FC/APC connectors, suggests a specialized and high-precision scientific instrument.
