BACKGROUND: The Air Force Research Laboratory, Directed Energy Directorate (AFRL/DEL) is seeking a contract to support research and development in the advancement of the state of the art laser technologies for laser development and laser effects testing programs which includes basic research and advanced development in laser physics, optical systems, laser device development, and laser effects experiments, laser damage and vulnerability assessments conducted at Kirtland Air Force Base, NM laboratories, test ranges, other government facilities and contractor facilities. This effort also includes the operation and maintenance of the laser facilities and laboratories. The three primary facilities under this effort are: The Richard W. Davis Advanced Laser Facility (DALF), Building 761 and its environs, the Chemical Laser Facility (CLF), Buildings 619, 617, 625, and their environs; and the Laser Effects Test Facility (LETF), Buildings 400 & 418 and their environs. This effort will include the following laser systems: hybrid (electric/chemical) laser, Chemical Oxygen-Iodine Laser (COIL), electric discharge Electric Oxygen-Iodine Laser (EOIL), rf excited supersonic flow and rf waveguide gas laser systems, diode and fiber pumped gas lasers, CO2 electric discharge coaxial laser (EDCL), high power fiber lasers, solid state lasers, diode-pumped electric lasers, semiconductor lasers (to include Mid-IR), short pulse lasers, and the next generation high power lasers. The deliverables for this acquisition are experiment and test reports, technical analysis reports, incidental software and hardware developed during the performance of analyses and experiments, and marketing materials for the Laser Effects Test Facility (LETF) to include the LETF business and marketing plan. This is a re-competition of the current on-going contract F29601-02-C-0308 entitled, 'High Energy Laser Research (HELR)'. The Air Force Research Laboratory will issue a single IDIQ contract with level-of-effort (LOE) task orders. The value of the current contract is $47.6M.
