- Notice of Intent: NB688000-17-03652 Status: Open Description of Contract Action: Multi-Wavelength Optical Cavity Laser Stabilization System Post Date: 07/05/2017 Close Date: 07/07/2017 File Name: NB688000-17-03652 / Multi-Wavelength Optical Cavity Laser Stabilization System Contact Points: Dennis Fuentes, Contracting Officer (303) 497.5573 This requirement is conducted under Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 13.106-1(b). This is a notice of intent to negotiate on a sole source basis and is not a request for competitive proposals. Firms who want to challenge the sole source must submit an interest letter that demonstrates your firm's ability to provide an equivalent service as described below. Interested parties must provide rationale as to why they should be considered. All interested firms must respond to this special notice by 07 July 2017, 11:00am, Mountain Time to Dennis M. Fuentes at dennis.fuentes@nist.gov. Responses received will be assessed; however, a determination by the Government not to compete the proposed procurement based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion for the Government. Information received will normally be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement. NIST will not reimburse for any costs connected with providing the capability information. Description: The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), intends to negotiate and award on a sole-source basis under the authority of FAR 13.106-1 (b) with Stable Laser Systems, INC. in Boulder, Colorado. The vendor must provide optical cavity laser stabilization systems with integrated vacuum and thermal enclosures. Furthermore, vendors are required to make optical cavity of a kind with a guaranteed cavity coefficient of thermal expansion equal to zero near the room temperature range of 25-40 degrees C. This unique offering is guaranteed by laser interferometry measurements to ensure compliance. Finally, a vendor must be able to offer a single optical cavity with high finesse (>=2;000) over our needed wide range of spectral values (399 nm, 556 nm, 759 nm, 1156 nm, 1388 nm). Sole Source determination is based on the market research that shows only one vendor can comply to this critical process that meets all the NIST technical requirements. The NAICS code 334516 - Analytical Laboratory Instruments Manufacturing, and the Small Business Size is 1000 employees. DELIVERABLES: 1 Multi-Wavelength Optical Cavity Laser Stabilization System.
