About this opportunity
The Naval Research Laboratory (NRL), operating under the Office of Naval Research within the Department of the Navy, issued a Notice of Intent on November 6, 2025, regarding the procurement of a Tunable Laser Optical Parametric Oscillator system. This pre-solicitation notice (N00173-25-NOI-MR39) indicates the agency's intent to issue a sole source, firm fixed price award to Applied Physics and Electronics, Inc. for brand name supplies and services. The procurement falls under PSC 6640 (Laboratory Equipment and Supplies) and NAICS 334516 (Analytical Laboratory Instrument Manufacturing). This Notice of Intent is not a competitive solicitation, and no solicitation package is currently available. The primary point of contact for inquiries is Maribel Ramirez.
The purpose of this Notice of Intent is to inform the market of NRL's intention to proceed with a non-competitive procurement while allowing responsible sources to submit capability statements demonstrating why competition would benefit the government. Interested parties must respond by November 14, 2025, with clear and convincing evidence supporting competitive procurement, though the final determination to compete remains solely at the government's discretion. All responsible sources are eligible to submit capability statements, regardless of prior relationship with the government. The required system is a fully automated picosecond laser light source capable of stimulated Raman scattering microscopy and squeezed light production, with precise technical specifications including tunable signal and idler wavelengths, specific power outputs, and integrated modulation capabilities. The vendor must provide installation and training support via a field service technician and offer a minimum one-year system warranty covering the entire Raman fingerprint region for video-rate microscopy applications.
