- Description
- NASA/GSFC has a requirement for an upgrade of an existing Coherent diode-pumped,single frequency, frequency doubled, CW Nd:YVO4 Laser from 8W to 18W operation at 532 nm.In order to meet and maintain our operational requirements, the upgrade must include thefollowing: 1. a sealed laser head to eliminate the need for alignment/cleaning, 2. alaser head NTE 18.3 by 5.5 by 4.3 inches to fit into an existing optical setup, 3. thepower supply must be rack mountable, 4. the laser must be single frequency (&lt;5 MHzover 50 ms) and noise &lt;0.03% rms from 10 Hz to 1 GHz, 5. the laser must have a safetyinterlock, 6. the laser beam divergence must be 3 mm0.25 mm with a divergence of&#8804;1.5 mrad, 7. the laser must be able to minimize drive current to maximize diodelifetime, 8. the laser must be able to be adjusted to be run de-rated, 9. the diode barmust not have any Al in the active area to prevent oxidation, and 10. diode packs must bereplaced through SMA connections to optical fibers. Upgrading the existing laser can onlybe performed technically by the existing Nd:YVO4 laser vendor.The upgraded laser, aswith the existing laser must be compatible with our existing Coherent laserinstrumentation and equipment which includes a Coherent dye and TiS lasers and a Coherentlaser spectrum analyzer. NASA/GSFC intends to purchase the items from COHERENT Inc, pursuent to FAR 13.106, forthe acquisition of supplies or services has been determine to be reasonably availablefrom one source The Government intends to acquire a commercial item using FAR Part 12.Interested organizations may submit their capabilities and qualifications to perform theeffort in writing to the identified point of contact not later than 4:30 p.m. local timeon 09/11/20078. Such capabilities/qualifications will be evaluated solely for thepurpose 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 opencompetition basis, based upon responses to this notice, is solely within the discretionof the government.Oral communications are not acceptable in response to this notice.All responsible sources may submit an capabilities statement which shall be consideredby the agency.An Ombudsman has been appointed.
