- Description
- The Air Force Research Laboratory Information Directorate, Rome NY intends to solicit and negotiate a sole source purchase order under the authority of FAR 6.302-1 with Photonic Systems, Inc., 900 Middlesex Turnpike, Billerica MA, 01821 for the purchase of the following test equipment items: 1) One (1) Modulator Controller for power ratio control of bias of polymer 1550NM modulators; 2) Two (2) Modulator Controller for minimization of 3rd harmonic of test dither tone for control of bias of polymer 1550 NM modulators; 3) One (1) Modulator Controller for ditherless bias control of polymer 1550 NM modulators; and 4) Six (6) Modulator Controller Kit for control of bias of 1550NM optical modulators via RF dither signal. Test equipment is required by in-house research groups in the Photonics Center to control optical modulators used in experiments on new analog optical-microwave links for space-based radar applications. Test equipment is custom controllers which utilizes a unique proprietary technique to control the general modulator bias set point by maintaining a constant input-to-output optical power ratio. Substitution of these modulator controllers is unacceptable due to the negative impact on the testing both in terms of cost and schedule. Justification is based on PSI, Inc. is the sole developer of this instrument which is a standard ditherless quadrature controller to be used in AFRL Rome Research Site for in-house research. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive quotations. A determination by the Government not to compete this proposed purchase order based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. Information received (quote with product specifications) will normally be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement.
