The unique spherical octagon design permits optimal optical access where it is needed, while keeping the working volume small. The access from two sides of the vacuum chamber must be suitable for large numerical aperture (NA) optics. This is achieved with large diameter lenses as close to the center of the chamber as feasible. The internal volume must be minimal for better vacuum. In addition, the vacuum chambers Grabber Grooves system allows assembly of structures in vacuum, which is required. The choice of material and machining procedure ensures the least wear on the chamber while at the same time providing the best vacuum performance. 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 23 September 2016. A Sole Source Justification will be attached to the subsequent Notice of Award.
