About this opportunity
The Department of the Air Force Materiel Command Research Laboratory (Air Force Research Laboratory) has awarded contract FA875125P0068 to Advanced Research, Inc. for $40,080.00 to provide specialized waveguide chips for quantum photonics applications. The contract covers the procurement of PPLN (Periodically Poled Lithium Niobate) waveguide chips and TBAR coatings designed for converting single photons across multiple wavelengths ranging from 493 nm to 1310 nm, which are critical components for AFRL's quantum network strategy. This procurement was conducted as a sole source acquisition after the government's market research through SAM.gov from July 7, 2025 to August 22, 2025 yielded no responses from alternative vendors capable of meeting the specific technical requirements. The award was finalized on September 16, 2025, with Advanced Research, Inc. identified as the only vendor able to simultaneously satisfy the unique quantum capabilities specifications needed for this defense research application.
