Lithium Niobate Etching

SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory is procuring the fabrication of lithium niobate on insulator (LNOI) chips that include precise apertures (1 µm × 120 µm in the LiNbO₃ layer and larger 300 µm × 400 µm openings in the SiO₂/Si layers) and arrays of slits of various widths, cut to 5 mm × 10 mm or 10 mm × 10 mm size, from SLAC‑supplied 4‑inch X‑cut LNOI wafers. Offerors must submit a best‑and‑final price and lead‑time quotation (including the required Buy American Act certification, representations & certifications rider, and acknowledgment of all addenda) by COB 9/17/2025; the quotation is for product only, no on‑site services, and will be evaluated on lowest price and technically acceptable method. The solicitation does not require selection among multiple subject areas—there is a single requirement. Delivery is to SLAC, Menlo Park, CA (FOB Destination, prepaid); foreign vendors must ship CIP SLAC with duty unpaid, and payment terms are NET‑30. No set‑aside or other restrictive constraints are noted.
