THIS IS A NOTICE OF INTENT TO AWARD A SOLE SOURCE
This notice of intent is published in accordance with the Revolutionary FAR Overhaul (RFO) Subpart 5.2. This requirement is being conducted in accordance with the procedures in RFO FAR Part 12, Acquisition of Commercial Products and Commercial Services.
The 10th Contracting Squadron, United States Air Force Academy (USAFA), Colorado, intends to award a sole-source, firm-fixed-price purchase order to Optowares Inc., a small business, for the purchase and delivery of two (2) Supercontinuum Laser Sources.

UEI: L8NSHTM6E7U3
The following outlines the unique technical capabilities that exclusively qualify this vendor to provide the required supercontinuum laser systems:
Sustained High-Power Output: The system must maintain a continuous, total average coherent optical output power of at least 30 W per system across the entire operating spectrum to overcome atmospheric attenuation during stand-off remote sensing and diagnostics at range.
Ultra-Broad Spectral Range: The equipment must deliver a single, coherent, software-defined output spanning the broad spectral band of (400-2400" nm" ) simultaneously. This spectral bandwidth is critical to allow multi-wavelength spectroscopy and trace chemical speciation.
Stable Megahertz Repetition Rate: The laser must operate with a highly stable, fixed, or selectable repetition rate of (≥1" MHz" ) (specifically supporting a standard factory-aligned operating window of exactly (4" MHz" ) / (4000" kHz" )) to match the modulation frequency required for phase-sensitive phenomenology detection.
Integrated Protection & Control: The system must feature ...
