- Description
- This is a Notice of Proposed Contract Action under the Simplified Acquisition Procedures (FAR 13) and Other Than Full and Open Competition (FAR 6.302-1) Only One Responsible Source and No Other Supplies or Services Will Satisfy Agency Requirements. This notice is for information only; a solicitation will not be issued. THIS IS NOT A REQUEST FOR QUOTATION. No contract will be awarded on the basis of offers received in response to this notice. The associated North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code is 333314 with a small business size standard of 500 employees. AFRL requires two optical fiber connectorized and Packaged Periodically Poled Potassium Titanyl Phosphate (PPKTP) waveguides chips to generate entangled photons at 1.55um via Spontaneous Parametric Downconversion (SPDC)and two optical fiber connectorized, packaged and thermally stabilized PPKTP waveguides chips to generate entangled photons at 0.810um via SPDC. The Government intends to negotiate a sole source contract with ADVR Inc., Bozeman, Montana. These PPKTP waveguides are very specialized devices utilized for the production of entangled photons. These devices are >300X more efficient than that of bulk crystal sources and 10X smaller in physical footprint. To the best of the Governments knowledge no other source constructs these devices in the commercial marketplace. This is a notice of proposed contract action and not a request for competitive proposals; however, all responsible sources may submit a capability statement or proposal, which shall be considered by the agency. All inquiries should be sent by email to Tabitha.Haggart@us.af.mil. Responses must be submitted by the date/time listed on the notice. Any response to this notice must show clear and convincing evidence that competition would be advantageous to the Government in future procurements. Responses received will be evaluated; however a determination by the Government not to compete the proposed procurement based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. The Government anticipates an award date on or before 30 September 2014. An approved Sole Source Justification will be attached to this notice after award in accordance with applicable regulations.
