This requirement is being procured under full and open competition. The associated NAICS code is 334517 and small business size standard is 500 employees. NRL has a requirement for Contract Line Items Numbers (CLINS) as follows: 0001, quantity 1, each, a new excimer laser using krypton-fluoride (KrF) gas, which possesses all of the following specifications: (1) Laser operation is at 248 nm with pulse energies of 1.2 Joules or more. (2) Able to continuously run at repetition rate of 5 Hz. (3) The laser has the following guaranteed durability requirements, each in terms of the number of shots or one year from date of invoice, whichever comes first: must reliably operate 500 x 10 to the sixth power shots for the new laser system, must reliably operate 500 x 10 to the sixth power shots on new laser tube, must reliably operate 500 x 10 to the sixth power laser shots on spare part laser tube, must reliably operate 500 x 10 to the sixth power laser shots on the thyratron and varsitors in the triggering circuit, and must reliably operate 500 x 10 to the sixth power laser shots on the power supply. (4) The optical components must be easily accessible. (5) The jitter for 5 Hz operation of the laser must be less than 2.5 ns. (6) The beam dimension must be between 10 to 15 mm x between 25 to 35 mm. (7) The beam divergence must be less than or equal to 1 mrad x 3 mrad for NRL use. (8) The dimensions of the laser head should not exceed 2.0m in any dimension, and the total package, also including the power supply and vacuum pump, should not exceed 2.5m in any dimension. (9) The pulse duration should be no less than 25 nanoseconds (FWHM). (10) The output laser pulse-to-pulse waveform repeatability (amplitude and time) should be better than or equal to 3%.
