- Description
- NASA/GSFC plans to issue a Request for Quotation (RFQ) for one each 500 MW Erbium Doped Fiber Amplifier, p/n EAD-500-C; and one each 5 W Erbium Doped Fiber Amplifier, p/n EAD-5-C. This procurement is being conducted under the Simplified Acquisition Procedures (SAP). NASA/GSFC intends to purchase the items from IPG Photonics Copr., 50 Old Webster Road, Oxford, MA 01540. The Vegetation Index Lidar Experiment and the CO2 Laser Sounder Project both require laser transmitters that produce several watts of diffraction limited optical power in the red (660-780 nm) to be viable measurement techniques from space. Fiber Amplifiers in the Near Infrared (NIR) offers an alternative that is inherently efficient, compact, and rugged. IPG Photonics is the only source producing commercial polarization-maintaining fiber amplifiers capable of producing >5 watts (37.5 dbm) of saturated output power at 1550 nm. The Government intends to acquire a commercial item using FAR Part 12. Interested organizations may submit their capabilities and qualifications to perform the effort in writing to the identified point of contact not later than 4:30 p.m. local time on April 4, 2002. Such capabilities/qualifications will be evaluated solely for the purpose of determining whether or not to conduct this procurement on a competitive basis. A determination by the Government not to compete this proposed effort on a full and open competition basis, based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the government. Oral communications are not acceptable in response to this notice. All responsible sources may submit an offer which shall be considered by the agency. An Ombudsman has been appointed.
