    N00173-24-Q-MF14 COMBINED SYNOPSIS SOLICITATION.pdf
    The U.S. Navy seeks quotes for a firm-fixed-price contract to procure a specialized fluorescence spectrophotometer and microscope system. This combined steady-state and time-resolved system must cover the ultraviolet, visible, and near-infrared spectrum, with the ability to characterize powder, thin film, and solution samples at various temperatures. The modular design should allow for future upgrades and modifications. Key specifications include double excitation and emission monochromators, detection capabilities between 250nm and 1700nm, and a spectral resolution of less than 1nm. The system should come with a range of excitation lines and detectors, temperature-controlled sample holders, and an upright microscope integrated with the spectrometer. It must support polarization measurements and include software for turnkey operation. Offerors are expected to submit detailed quotes with product literature, confirming compliance with the extensive technical requirements. The Navy will assess quotes based on technical capability, past performance risk, and price, with the most advantageous offer winning the contract. Critical dates include a 30-day response deadline and a required delivery date 24 weeks after award.
