A -- ND-YAG PUMPED TUNABLE DYE UV-VISIBLE LASER SYSTEM SOL N68936-99-R-0065 POC Shaleen Lambert, Contract Specialist, (760) 939-7652 This is a combined synopsis/solicitation for commercial items prepared in accordance with the format in FAR Subpart 12.6, as supplemented with additional information included in this notice. This announcement constitutes the only solicitation, proposals are being requested and a written solicitation will not be issued. N68936-99-R-0065 is issued as a request for proposal. The solicitation and incorporated provisions and clauses are in effect through Federal Acquisition Circular 90 -- 46. The Naval Air Warfare Center Weapons Division, China Lake, CA intends to procure one (1) Nd-YAG Pumped Tunable Dye UV-Visible Laser which includes the following government minimum requirements: 1) Nd-YAG output power to meet or exceed: 1200 mJ at 1064 nm at 20 Hz with energy stability better than 2.5%; 550 mJ at 532 nm at 20 Hz with energy stability better than 3.5%; 300 mJ at 355 nm at 20 Hz with energy stability better than 4%. 2) Nd-YAG to be better than 70% Gaussian in the near field with divergence less than 0.5 mR. 3) Nd-YAG line width of 0.2 cm-1 or less. 4) Nd-YAG pulse width of 6 nsec or longer (1064nm) 5) Nd-YAG to include harmonic separation optics for 532 nm and 355 nm. 6) Nd-YAG to include output access for 532 nm beam. 7) Replacement Nd-YAG flashlamp set must be included. 8) Nd-YAG power 208VAC single phase less than 25A. 9) System must include power supply and controlling electronics/computer. 10) Tunable dye laser must be able to be pumped by supplied Nd-YAG laser at its maximum energy. 11) Tunable dye laser must be able to reach all wavelengths between 220 nm and 750 nm with greater than or equal to 2 mJ of energy per pulse. 355 nm pumped dyes are to be used only to reach the wavelength region between 420 nm and 550 nm. 12) In addition to the above specification, the following spot energy levels must be met: 100 mJ at 560 nm at 20 Hz; 30 mJ at 500 nm at 20 Hz; 10 mJ at 388 nm at 20 Hz; 20 mJ at 283 nm at 20 Hz; 4 mJ at 226 nm at 20 Hz. 13) To include all parts and controllers to scan wavelength, including tracking of UV doubling, mixing, or doubling and mixing. 14) To include readout of tuned wavelength to within an accuracy of +- 0.05 nm and resettability of +-0.002 nm. 15) Dye laser linewidth of less than 0.08 cm-1 at 565 nm (without etalon). 16) ASE less than 0.02% (referenced to peak of dye curve). 17) Frequency stability better than 0.05 cm-1 for 7 degrees Celsius change in 8 hours. 18) Dye laser beam divergence of less than 0.5 mR. 19) To include Bethune cell option for better output beam quality. 20) Must include all dye reservoirs and pumps. 21) Must include manuals. 22) Must include installation, integration, and testing of both the Nd-YAG and dye portions of the laser system. Installation and testing will be completed at NAWCWD, Bldg. 2658. Installation and testing must be accomplished within 2 weeks of delivery. Must inform the government 2 days prior to the installation and testing start date. 23) Delivery will be F.O.B. Destination 30 days from date of award. Installation and testing will be completed 45 days from date of award. 24) Acceptance will be by the government 30 days after completion of installation and testing by contractor. 25) Standard Commercial Warranty. The provisions at 52.212-1 applies to this acquisition. Offerors shall include a completed copy of the provisions at FAR 52.212-3 and DFARS 252.212-7000. FAR clause 52.212-2 applies to this acquisition. The evaluation factors included in 52.212-2 (a) include Technical, Cost, and Past Performance. Past performance information should be submitted with proposal and include recent and relevant contracts for the same or similar items and other references (including contract number, points of contact with telephone numbers and other relevant information). FAR clause 52.212-4 and 52.212-5, and DFARS 252.212-7001 apply to this acquisition.
