E-MAIL: Kimberly D. Duncan, k.d.duncan@larc.nasa.gov. NASA/LaRC plans to issue a Request for Quote (RFQ) for a computer program that simulates the performance for making ultra-violet lasers in the 305-320nm range. The model must simulate the performance of nanosecond-pumped optical parametric oscillators (OPOs) with an intracavity sum frequency mixing or second harmonic generation. The code must simulate the intra-resonator Sum Frequency Mixing (SFG) performance of the OPO signal (~800nm) wavelength with the 532nm pump beam. It must also be able to simulate an OPO with an intracavity second harmonic crystal that doubles the resonant OPO signal beam. The computer model will enhance NASA's capabilities to design future high performance UV lasers using non-linear optics. It shall be a unique tool for experienced professionals possessing a fundamental understanding of the physics of OPOs. This procurement is being conducted under the Simplified Acquisition Procedures (SAP). The Government does not intend to acquire a commercial item using FAR Part 12. See Note 26. This procurement is a total small business set-aside. See Note 1. The SIC Code and Size Standard are 7374 and $18 million gross revenue per year, respectively. The DPAS Rating for this procurment is DO -- C9. The anticipated release date of RFQ 1-168-RFK.1062 is on or about May 30, 2000 with an anticipated quote due date of on or about June 15, 2000. All qualified responsible sources may submit a quote which shall be considered by the agency. An ombudsman has been appointed -- See Internet Note "B".
