- Description
- ***NOAA's Acquisition & Grants Office, Western Acquisition Division-Boulder, intends to negotiate, on a sole source basis, under authority of FAR 13.106-1(b)(1), with Coherent, Inc. for the purchase of a VERDI V-8 system to support a number of crucial NIST specialized experiments. ***The sole source determination is based on the National Institute of Standards and Technology's (NIST) requirement which can only be met by Coherent. The laser has the specific power, low noise, and stability requirements of Power ->8W, wavelength - 532 nm, noise - 0.03% rms from 10Hz to 1GHz, linewidth - 5MHz single longitudinal mode, non-mode-hop, single longitudinal-mode output with line width under 5MHz, power stability - 1% over 2 hours after a 15 minute warmup, beam pointing stability - 5 urad/degrees C, and single frequency. The Verdi laser must be identical to the system in the NIST Optical Technology Division in Gaithersburg, MD which is used for pumping non-linear crystals and fibers to enable joint research as it will be utilized in both locations. Delivery date of August 3, 2009 ***This notice of intent is not a request for competitive proposals and no solicitation package is available. However, firms that believe they can fully meet the Government's requirements may submit substantiating documentation in writing to the identified point of contact within 5 days after publication of this synopsis. Such documentation will be evaluated solely for the purpose of determining whether or not to conduct this procurement on a competitive basis. A determination by the Government not to conduct a competitive procurement, based upon responses to this notice, is solely within the discretion of the government. Oral communications are not acceptable in response to this notice.
