This is a Notice of Proposed Contract Action under RFO Part 12 Acquisition of Commercial Products and Commercial Services. This notice is for information only; a solicitation will not be issued. THIS IS NOT A REQUEST FOR QUOTATION. No contract will be awarded on the basis of offers received in response to this notice. The associated North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code is 334516 with a small business size standard of 1, 000 employees.
The Government requires the procurement of an Optical Stabilizer and Laser, and intends to negotiate a sole-source award for this requirement with Ki3 Photonics Technologies, 2547 Rue Sicard, #301 Montreal QC, Canada. Relevant Ki3 Photonics Technologies part numbers and product descriptions are as follows:
Item 1, qty. 1 each - Part #: Ki3 LINQ.SYNQ
Optical Link Stabilizer 2nd Gen
Phase and polarization for SMF-28 fiber link
1550 nm wavelength with 28 MHz bandwidth
Supports up to 3 km of fiber
Rectifies up to 1 ns of drift
Requires a common 10 MHz RF clock at both link ends
Hardware supports active stabilization via external reference laser
Item 2, qty. 1 each - Part #: External Reference Laser
Wavelength: C-Band
Stable frequency with 100Hz linewidth
Tunable power up to 40 mW
Software control with Python API via Ethernet
The Government has determined that other companies' products and services do not meet or cannot be modified to meet the Government's needs. With regard to the LINQ.SYNQ and related accessories (i.e. external reference laser), the item provides active link phase and timing stabilization across real-world quantum fiber links up to 3 kilometers length. The LINQ.SYNQ can correct for up to 1 nanosecond of timing drift, which is necessary for phase-stabilized radio frequency sensing with entangled photon signals. The reference laser is specially tailored to be compatible with the LINQ.SYNQ. Interchanges with Ki3 Photonics Technologies have yielded t...
