- Description
- This is a Notice of Proposed Contract Action under the FAR Part 12 Acquisition of Commercial Items and FAR Part 13 Simplified Acquisition Procedures. 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/RITA requires a purchase of four (4) tunable 1550nm fabry-perot filters. Two of the filters will have a bandwidth of 12.5 GHz and a free spectral range greater than 80nm, and the other two will have a bandwidth of 2 GHz and a free spectral range of greater than 80nm. These filters will be fiber coupled with singlemode fiber (900um buffer) with fc connectors and controlled with an external control shipped with the individual units. The two sets of units will have insertion of less than or equal to 3 dB. Tuning range for the filter will be the entire C band (1530-1565nm). The Government intends to negotiate a sole source contract with Micron Optics, 1852 Century Place NE, Atlanta, GA 30345-4305 The Government has determined that no other source can meet offer applications which require an extremely narrow, single pass tunable optical filter with low insertion loss. Typical filters of this type either suffer from large insertion loss (~5 dB), from limited tunability (~25 GHz) and large bandwidth (12.5 GHz). 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 jennifer.calandra-willson@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 2015. A Sole Source Justification will be attached to the subsequent Notice of Award.
