- Description
- This is a Notice of Proposed Contract Action under 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 PROPOSAL. 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 334516 with a size standard of 500 employees. AFRL requires the purchase of Sapphire Laser System that will meet the following capabilities: SolsTiS narrow linewidth Ti:Sa laser and external cavity doubler with integrated low noise DPSS pump source. ECDx power specification of 1.5W at 369nm. Terascan capability including M2-600 wavemeter. Tuning Range: 700-1000 Linewidth: <5 MHz Scan Range: > 25GHz, measured at ~780nm, scan stitching option available Amplitude Noise: < 0.1% RMS above pump noise, added in quadrature Spatial Mode: TEM00 Beam Radius: < 0.4mm, 1/e2 intensity (nominal, at output port) Beam Divergence: < 1.5 mrad, far field, half angle Polarization: Horizontal (pump & output beam) Laser Head Dimensions: <29 x 17 x 7cm (<11.5 x 6.7 x 2.6 inches), L x W x H ICE-BLOCTM Controller Dimensions: 34cm x Half Rack x 2U, L x W x H AC Power: 90 - 264 VAC, 2.5 A max. Cooling: Supplied closed-loop water Environmental Requirements: Operating temperature range: 16-300C, Max. relative humidity: 80% non-condensing, up to 300C Tuning Range: 720-940 nm Output Power (Modelocked): > 0.6 W at ~725 nm, > 1.3 W at ~800 nm, > 0.6 W at ~935 nm Pulse Width: <150fs Amplitude Noise: <0.125% Output Power Stability: <0.5% Pulse Repetition Rate: 80 MHz Polarization: Horizontal >500:1 Spatial Mode: TEMoo (M2< 1.1) Beam Diameter: 1.2mm Beam Ellipticity: 0.9 to 1.1 Astigmatism: <10% Beam Pointing: 0.4 urad/nm Operating Voltage: 90-264 Vac, 47-63 Hz Maximum Operating Current: <3 A at 100 Vac., 1.5 A at 230 Vac (entire system) Operating Temperature Range: 20-35 C The Government intends to negotiate a sole-source contract for the purchase of the system described above. The identified sole-source provider/producer of these systems is as follows: M Squared Lasers Inc Cambridge Innovation Center 1 Broadway, 14th Floor Cambridge, MA 02142 The Government has determined that there are no other known commercial offerings that meet the required capabilities. The required application requires extremely high system stability as these experiments require long hours of operation, requiring narrow linewidth excitation of atomic transitions, extremely stable optical pules, and extremely low beam walks for coupling into optical fiber. 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 to this notice 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 18 March 2016. A Sole Source Justification will be attached to the subsequent Notice of Award in accordance with applicable regulation.
