- Description
- The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has a requirement for a 10W laser at 1083.0 nm. This laser will be used for the metastability-exchange optical pumping of helium gas. Due to the nature of NIST?s research application, the laser is required to perform at a wavelength of 1083 nm, with a bandwidth of just under 2 gigahertz. The laser is also required to be able to tune over a 50 gigahertz range and access all of the helium atomic transitions. Additionally, NIST requires an easily portable laser, so it should not require water cooling and should operate from standard 110V AC. ? NIST intends to enter into a sole source purchase order with Keopsys, Inc., 16 White Bridge Road, Pittstown, New Jersey, under the authority of 41 U.S.C. 253 ( c) (1) ? only one responsible source. The Government anticipates the award of a fixed price purchase order. The Government intends to solicit and negotiate with only one source under the authority of FAR 13.5 ? Test Program for Certain Commercial Items. Interested firms may identify their interest and capability to respond to the requirement. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive quotations. However, responses received by July 25, 2005, will be considered by the Government. A determination not to complete this requirement, based upon responses to this notice, is solely within the discretion of the Government. Information received will be considered solely for the purposes of determining whether to conduct a noncompetitive procurement. Written responses to this synopsis are required to contain sufficient documentation to establish a bona fide capability to fulfill this requirement. A request for quote will not be issued..
