Ultra-low-temperature Optical Cryostat

The Navy’s Naval Research Laboratory is procuring one ultra‑low‑temperature optical cryostat (with shipping) that must cool samples below 1.2 K for at least 8 hours, provide <10 mK stability, accommodate 30 mm diameter samples, deliver ≥200 µW cooling power at 1.2 K, and include bidirectional optical access, ≥12 DC lines, ≥2 RF lines, and computer control via LabVIEW/Python API, among other detailed performance and safety requirements. Offerors must submit a firm‑fixed‑price quote (electronic email) with product literature, a compliance matrix, warranty information, authorized reseller documentation (if applicable), and required certifications; no separate concept paper or full technical proposal is requested. The solicitation does not present multiple “topics” or “lots” – the offer must address the single cryostat item (CLIN 0001) and its shipping (CLIN 0002). Key constraints include delivery within 24 weeks to NRL’s Washington, DC facility, mandatory on‑site contractor health, safety, security, and environmental compliance, air‑cooled compressors, closed‑cycle refrigeration (no liquid cryogen refills), OEM warranty, and the requirement that all equipment be new (no remanufactured or gray‑market items).
