    Description

    The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's (NOAA) Chemical Sciences Laboratory (CSL) seeks to acquire a specialized Pulsed Erbium Fiber Laser (PEFL-EOLA) for delivery to Boulder, Colorado. CSL intends to negotiate a sole-source contract with Lumibird Inc. based on their exclusive distribution of lasers suited to NOAA's requirements.

    The laser system is a critical component in a new Doppler lidar being developed for research purposes. CSL aims to replace an existing erbium-doped fiber amplifier while minimizing modifications to the current system, ensuring continuity in their research schedule. The PEFL-EOLA's unique specifications, including high energy and peak power, make it an ideal fit for CSL's requirements.

    This acquisition notice is a preliminary step allowing potential competitors to submit documentation if they can fully meet NOAA's needs. Substantiating evidence must be submitted within 15 days of the publication date. The government will then decide, at its discretion, whether to proceed competitively.

    The contract award will require delivery within 130 days of the award date. Applicants should be aware that oral communications will not be considered, and responses must be submitted in writing to the primary contact, Stephanie Mas, whose email and phone details are provided in the notice.
