- 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. The associated North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code is 333314 with a size standard of 500 employees. Brief Description of Requirement: AFRL requires the purchase of Semrock optical equipment consisting of ultrabroadband mirrors, bandpass filters and a dichoric beamsplitter, meeting the following specifications: •· 532 nm laser single-edge super-resolution laser dichroic beamsplitter P/N: Di03-R532-t3-25.2x35.6-EB Reflection Band 1: Rabs > 94% 514 - 532 nm Reflection Band 1: (p-pol) Rabs > 90% 514 - 532 nm Reflection Band 1: (s-pol) Rabs > 98% 514 - 532 nm Reflection Band 2: Ravg > 90% 350 - 514 nm Edge Wavelength 1: 538.4 nm Transmission Band 1: Tavg > 93% 541.6 - 1200 nm Laser Wavelengths 1: 514.5 nm, 532 nm QTY: 1 •· 370 nm single-band bandpass filter P/N: FF01-370/6-25 Transmission Band 1: Tavg > 90% 367 - 373 nm Center Wavelength 1: 370 nm Guaranteed Minimum Bandwidth: 16 nm FWHM Bandwidth 1 (nominal): 8.7 nm Blocking Band 1: Nominal blocking data is represented by the ASCII spectrum QTY: 3 •· 400 nm single-band bandpass filter P/N: FF01-400/12-25 Transmission Band 1: Tavg > 90% 394 - 406 nm Center Wavelength 1: 400 nm Guaranteed Minimum Bandwidth 1: 12 nm FWHM Bandwidth 1 (nominal): 16.8 nm Blocking Band 1: ODavg > 4 200 - 386 nm Blocking Band 2: ODavg > 4 413 - 1200 nm Blocking Band 3: ODavg > 2 1200 - 1400 nm QTY: 3 •· 350-1100 nm ultrabroadband mirror P/N: MM3-311S-t6-25-12.7 Reflection Band 1: Ravg > 99% 350 - 1100 nm Reflection Band 1: (s-pol) Ravg > 99% 350 - 1100 nm Reflection Band 1: (p-pol) Ravg > 99% 350 - 1100 nm Angle of Incidence 0 - 50 degrees Optical Damage Rating: 1 J/cm2 (10 ns pulse width) (Typical) Pulse Dispersion: The MaxMirror will not introduc appreciable pulse broadening for most laser pulses that are > 1 picosecond; however, pulse distortion is likely for significantly shorter laser pulses, including femtosecond pulses. Flatness: λ/5 PV @ 632.8 nm Transverse Dimensions (Diameter): 12.7 mm Transverse Tolerance: (12.7 mm - unmounted) + 0.0 / - 0.1 mm Filter Thickness (unmounted): 6.0 mm Filter Thickness Tolerance (unmounted): ± 0.2 mm Clear Aperture: ≥ 90% Scratch-Dig: 40-20 (Mirror Side Surface Quality) Substrate Thickness (unmounted): 6.0 mm Substrate Thickness Tolerance (unmounted): ± 0.2 mm QTY: 60 •· 350-1100 nm ultrabroadband mirror P/N: MM3-311S-t6-25-25.4 Reflection Band 1: Ravg > 99% 350 - 1100 nm Reflection Band 1: (s-pol) Ravg > 99% 350 - 1100 nm Reflection Band 1: (p-pol) Ravg > 99% 350 - 1100 nm Angle of Incidence: 0 - 50 degrees Optical Damage Rating: 1 J/cm2 (10 ns pulse width) (Typical) Pulse Dispersion: The MaxMirror will not introduce appreciable pulse broadening for most laser pulses that are > 1 picosecond; however, pulse distortion is likely for significantly shorter laser pulses, including femtosecond pulses. Flatness: λ/5 PV @ 632.8 nm Transverse Dimensions (Diameter): 25.4 mm Transverse Tolerance: ( 25.4 mm - unmounted) + 0.0 / - 0.25 mm Filter Thickness (unmounted): 6.0 mm Filter Thickness Tolerance (unmounted): ± 0.2 mm Clear Aperture: ≥ 90% Scratch-Dig: 40-20 (Mirror Side Surface Quality) Substrate Thickness (unmounted): 6.0 mm Substrate Thickness Tolerance (unmounted): ± 0.2 mm QTY: 60 The Government intends to negotiate a sole-source contract with the sole distributor of the manufacturer: AVR Optics 3625 Buffalo Road, Suite 6 Rochester, NY 14624 The Government has determined that no other manufacturer can meet the requirements for these Semrock products. Semrock is currently the only manufacturer that provides commercial off the shelf (COTS), narrow band-pass filters with transmission above 90% in the ranges 367 - 373 nm and 394 - 406 nm, providing good filtering with low loss. Suitable filters meeting the Government's requirements were not found from other vendors. Additionally, Semrock is the only source for a COTS utrabroadband mirror with average reflection of at least 99% in the 350-1100 nm range. The sole distributor for Semrock products for Government Labs is AVR Optics. Market research conducted by the end user has confirmed that only one manufacturer exists that provides the narrow band-pass filters with the needed transmission, above 90% in the ranges 367 - 373 nm and 394 - 406 nm, providing good filtering with low loss & an utrabroadband mirror with average reflection of at least 99% in the 350-1100 nm range, which is Semrock. An internet search identified multiple providers of beamsplitters and filters, however, no other manufacturer was found that meets the specifications described. The sole distributor for Semrock products to Government Labs is AVR Optics. 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. 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 31 July 2017. "Notice to Offeror(s)/Suppliers(s): Funds are not presently available for this effort. No award will be made under this solicitation until funds are available. The Government reserves the right to cancel this solicitation, either before or after the closing date. In the event the Government cancels this solicitation, the Government has no obligation to reimburse an Offeror for any costs." A Sole Source Justification will be attached to the subsequent Notice of Award.
