- Description
- This request is an announcement for information/market research for planning purposes. The synopsis does not constitute a request for proposal, request for quote, invitation for bid nor does its issuance in any way restrict the Government as to its ultimate acquisition approach. The Air Force Nuclear Weapons Center (AFNWC) / PZIA, Kirtland AFB, Albuquerque, NM, seeks potential business sources to provide DBR Laser system. AFNWC/PZIA reserves the right to determine if a SB set-aside is appropriate. Additionally, we reserve the right to determine if one of the targeted socio-economic is appropriate for a set-aside based on responses to this notice and other pertinent information gathered by the contracting officer. In order for AFNWC/PZIA to make a SB set-aside determination, it is emphasized that SB concerns provide sufficient written information to indicate their capacity and capability to successfully provide the required items. Firms responding to this announcement must be registered in the System for Award Management (SAM) and should include company name, cage code, point of contact, address and indicate if it is a small business, 8(a) concern, veteran-owned small business, service-disabled veteran-owned small business, HUBZone small business, small disadvantaged business, women-owned small business. The Government reserves the right to consider the acquisition for the 8(a) program based upon responses received to this sources sought announcement. The proposed contract is anticipated to be a firm-fixed price contract. The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code for this acquisition is 334413, Semiconductor and Related Device Manufacturing, and the size standard for small business is 500 Employees. The Statement of Need for this requirement is as follows: Requirements for 780 nanometer (nm) dual distributed bragg reflecting (DBR) diode laser system with heterodyne lock • System should contain the following components working together from one manufacturer o Two (2) Distributed Bragg reflecting (DBR) diode lasers centered at 780.24 nm o One offset electronics servo to lock one laser to another with 250MHz to 8 GHz offset; must provide an internal frequency reference but have ability to use external frequency reference; must include optical beat-note detector (250MHz to 8GHZ). o Two sets of diode control electronics including current and temperature controls with capability to use as frequency locking feedback control o One power supply capable of driving both lasers • Must deliver continuous wave (CW) power at 780 nm with greater than 3 nm of tenability • Must deliver optical power of greater than 40 milliwatts from each laser • Must have 40 GHz mode-hop free scan range. • Must output into a TEM00 spatial mode. • Laser polarization must be linear with an extinction ratio less than 1/100 and be constant in time. • The frequency line-width of the laser at output must be less than 1 MHz, and must maintain frequency stability without any moving parts • Optical power amplitude noise must be less than 2% RMS and preferably less than 1% • Electronics should use standard U.S. wall outlet 120 V AC, 60Hz Responses are due no later than 4:00 PM (MST) on 19 March 2015 via e-mail. Questions and responses should be addressed to SrA Rane Linton, via email, to rane.linton@us.af.mil. Identify your response with the corresponding program title: Sources Sought: DBR Laser
