COMBINED SOURCES SOUGHT NOTICE AND NOTICE OF INTENT TO SOLE SOURCE
Announcement Type: Special Notice
Announcement Number: NIST-SSN-NOI-26-6800992
Subject: 1552.93 nm Laser System
Applicable NAICS: 334513 - Instruments and Related Products Manufacturing for Measuring, Displaying, and Controlling Industrial Process Variables with size standard of 750 employees
Applicable PSC: 6685 - Pressure, Temperature, and Humidity Measuring and Controlling Instruments
Purpose
This is a combined sources sought notice and notice of intent to sole source, not a request for a quotation. NIST is seeking information from sources that may be capable of providing a solution that will achieve the essential requirements included in the “Description” section below.
If no alternate sources are identified, the Government intends to negotiate a firm-fixed price purchase order on a sole source basis with NKT Photonics, Inc.

This action will be conducted under the authority of FAR RFO Part 12.102(a) and 41 USC 1901, allowing the Contracting Officer (CO) to solicit from one source. Delivery will be required within fifteen weeks after contractor receipt of order.
Description
The Contractor shall provide one laser system which meets the minimum requirements identified below.
Design Wavelength: centered at 1550 nm
Tunable range of at least 100 nm
Maximum tuning step size 10 pm
Stable single frequency operation
Must be coupled to polarization maintaining fiber (FC/APC) with an output power (through the fiber) of at least 3 mW
Linewidth
Relative Intensity Noise less than -150 dBc / Hz at 1 MHz
Include power supply and all communication electronics
Includes software control
Background
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Sensor Science Division is investigating the use of the ruggedized optical-based pressure metrology using NIST-designed Fixed...
