RFI: Excitation Laser for Spectroscopy System

The 10th Contracting Squadron at the U.S. Air Force Academy is conducting market research for a nanosecond Q‑switched Nd:YAG excitation laser to be integrated with an Edinburgh Instruments LP980 spectroscopy system. Respondents must demonstrate that their laser meets the following technical criteria: 10 Hz pulse‑repetition rate, 3‑6 ns pulse duration, a flashlamp with a 100 million‑shot warranty that can be replaced without cavity realignment (including two replacement water‑filter sets), self‑contained water‑to‑air cooling, and operation on standard 110 V power. The system must be shipped to the USAF Academy, CO 80840, and vendors should indicate any availability on GWAC, GSA MAS, or other government purchasing vehicles. Interested firms are to submit a Capability Statement that includes a company profile (name, address, point of contact, CAGE, UEI, SAM expiration), business size/status under NAICS 334516, a brief description of the proposed laser highlighting seamless hardware/software compatibility with the LP980, product data sheets or brochures, and contract vehicle information. Submissions are due electronically to Contracting Officer Tammy Martin (tammy.martin.6@us.af.mil) by 10:00 a.m. MDT on 8 June 2026.
