The associated North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code is 334515 with a small business size standard of 750 employees.
The Government requires the procurement of a Bright Polarization-Entangled Photon Source and intends to negotiate a sole-source award with Oz Optics Limited, 219 Westbrook Rd, Ottawa, Canada, KOA 1L0, who is the exclusive provider of the required branded products in the United States.
The Government requires the specific item detailed below:
Item: Bright Polarization-Entangled Photon Source
Part Number: BHEPS-1000-3A3A-1550-9/125
Quantity: 1
Description: A turn-key, alignment-free bright source operating at room temperature. The unit must generate high-quality polarization-entangled photon pairs within a narrow telecom bandwidth centered at 1550 nm, using a type-2 waveguide. The coincidence rate must be controllable via a built-in manual pump attenuator. The photon pairs shall be generated through a Sagnac interferometric configuration and directly injected into two single-mode output fibers without using a wavelength splitter to ensure the highest coupling efficiency after passing through built-in pump-noise removal filters. These output ports must be accessed through two FC/APC adaptors installed on the front panel, delivering the photon pairs within 9/125 μm single-mode fibers.
The Government has determined that Oz Optics Limited is the only company that can satisfy the minimum technical specifications for this requirement. Specifically, the required source must provide: a uniquely high number of entangled pairs per second suitable for experiments over lossy, real-world links; a turn-key, align...
