66 -- LASER SYSTEM SOL NRMAL000000146MB DUE 111099 POC Michelle Bernal, Purchasing Agent, (303) 497-3983 or FAX (303) 497-3163 E-MAIL: NOAA; MASC Acquisition Management, Michelle.A.Bernal@noaa.gov. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) requires a laser with the following specifications: Diode-pumped, solid state, Q-switched laser operating in the mid-visible spectrum (520-540 nm). The output energy shall be greater than 40 uJ per pulse in a TEM00 mode and at a pulse repetition frequency (PRF) of 2 kHz. An adjustable PRF is desirable. The pulse-to-pulse energy variation must be less than 10% rms. The pulse length shall be on the order of 10 ns with a linewidth less than 0.1 nm and wavelength stability better than 0.1 nm. The beam diameter shall be less than 2 mm with a divergence of less than 10 mrad and beam pointing stability of less than 10% of the beam divergence. The laser power supply shall be compact (approximately 450 mm L x 450 mm W x 130 mm H) and require no water cooling. The laser head must be small (approximately 180 mm L x 50 mm W x 35 mm H), air-cooled with no fan, and fiber-coupled to the pump/power supply. The laser head must be sealed to remain clean, and theoptics in the head mounted in non-adjustable mounts that will not come loose or unduly stress the optics with temperature extremes. The laser head and power supply must be fully interchangeable with future manufactured laser heads and power supplies and both shall be able to operate in any orientation. The operating temperature range shall be at least 0 C to 30 C. A storage temperature range of -- 40 C to 65 C is desirable. The line power required must be 110 VAC at 60 Hz. The laser system shall be covered by a warranty lasting at least one year. Delivery of the laser system is required by December 31, 1999. Technical merit as well as price will be used to evaluate offers. As the technical merit becomes more equal, price becomes a greater factor. This procurement is being conducted under Simplified Acquisition Procedures. There is no formal bid package. Proposals can be faxed or mailed and must be received on or before November 10, 1999. When submitting a proposal, please include freight costs, Federal Tax ID Number, Duns & Bradstreet Number, and business size. Terms and Conditions and agency level protest procedures can be found on web site http: oamweb.osec.doc.gov/conops #REFERENCE. Hard copy in full text available from office address and phone number listed in notice. Anticipated award date will be November 12, 1999. Posted 10/23/99 (D-SN394321). (0296)
