Specialized Optical Substrates

The Naval Undersea Warfare Center Division Newport (NUWCDIVNPT) is issuing a combined synopsis/solicitation (RFQ N66604‑26‑Q‑0185) for a 100 % small‑business set‑aside purchase of Germanium optical windows (D50.8, 3 mm thick, 50.8 mm diameter) on a firm‑fixed‑price basis. Two base CLINs are required: CLIN 0001 – uncoated substrates (quantity 12) and CLIN 0002 – substrates with an anti‑reflective diamond‑like coating (quantity 3). Each CLIN has an optional repeat (CLIN 0003 and 0004) for the same quantities. All items must meet the Government Minimum Specifications (Attachment 1) – F‑number N 3, ΔN 0.5, surface quality 80/50, and for the coated part an average transmittance of 89 % over 8‑12 µm. Delivery is FOB Destination, Newport, RI, with a required delivery date of 31 July 2026 (or end of fiscal year 09/30/26). Shipping costs must be incorporated into the unit price; a separate shipping line will not be accepted. Offers must be submitted electronically to Elizabeth Peckham (elizabeth.a.peckham2.civ@us.navy.mil) by 18 March 2026, 1400 EST, and must include price, payment terms (GPC credit card preferred, otherwise WAWF), delivery terms, point of contact, CAGE code, and SAM UEI. Offerors must be SAM‑registered, provide a price validity of at least 60 days, and demonstrate prior experience obtaining export licenses; negative SPRS data may render a quote technically unacceptable. The solicitation is non‑ITAR and does not permit substitution of the Germanium substrate. The award will be a single FFP purchase order to the lowest‑priced, technically acceptable small business.
