Contract Opportunity Analysis

The Department of Health and Human Services, specifically the National Institutes of Health (NIH), intends to award a non-competitive purchase order to NEWPORT CORP for a replacement high-power continuous wave (CW) diode-pumped solid-state (DPSS) laser part. This procurement is essential to restore the operation of a critical high-energy, broadly tunable picosecond laser system at the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK), as the existing laser has reached its end of life and requires a direct replacement to meet precise performance specifications. The required laser features include a 5W CW output at 532 nm, specific intensity fluctuations, and precise beam characteristics, with delivery expected within 60 days of the order. Interested parties may submit capability statements by September 17, 2025, to Jacob Balenson at jacob.balenson@nih.gov, with the procurement adhering to simplified acquisition procedures and not exceeding $250,000.

AI Summary

The National Institutes of Health (NIH), specifically the National Institute of Child Health and Development (NICHD) and the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK), intends to award a non-competitive purchase order to NEWPORT CORP. This is for a replacement high-power CW DPSS Laser Part to restore the operation of a critical high-energy, broadly tunable picosecond laser system at the NIDDK's Laboratory of Chemical Physics (LCP). The existing Spectra-Physics/Newport Corporation Millennia eV laser has reached its end of life, and a direct replacement is required due to precise performance specifications, beam dimensions, divergence, and footprint constraints. Customizing alternative lasers would incur significant time and cost, delaying crucial research. The procurement falls under NAICS code 334510 and will adhere to simplified acquisition procedures (FAR Subpart 13 and 12), not exceeding $250,000. Required features include 5W CW output at 532 nm, specific intensity fluctuations, TEM00 mode, M2 <1.1, precise enclosure dimensions, beam diameter, divergence, polarization, pointing stability, and beam height. Delivery is required within 60 days of the order. Interested parties may submit capability statements by September 17th, 2025, to jacob.balenson@nih.gov, but the government retains discretion on competitive procurement.
