Sources Sought Notice for Continuous Wave Parametric Oscillator (CW OPO) Laser System

NIST is conducting market research for a Continuous Wave Parametric Oscillator (CW OPO) Laser System (NIST-SS26-CHIPS-16, NAICS code 334516) with specific requirements for pump laser, signal laser, and idler laser outputs, including tunable ranges and power levels. Respondents are requested to provide information regarding available equipment – including brand, make, model, and manufacturer details – along with details on standard terms and conditions, facility renovation services (if offered), pricing, manufacturing location, and any relevant Federal Supply Schedule contracts. Responses should not include proprietary information and are due by 11:00 AM Eastern Time on December 5, 2026. NIST is particularly interested in identifying any aspects of the draft minimum specifications that may be unduly restrictive or create barriers to participation, as well as whether equipment can be customized to meet NIST’s needs. This is a sources sought notice only and does not guarantee a future solicitation or contract award.
