66 -- Additional Information

This contract amendment provides additional technical information related to Solicitation number F29650-03-T-0018, initially posted in December 2002. The focus is on coatings designed for a device that produces continuous wave (CW) laser output with power between 3 to 6 watts at a wavelength near 2.9 microns, with the laser beam radius estimated to be between 1 and 1.5 millimeters at the optic. The coatings are expected to reflect higher power levels at different wavelengths, including 10 to 20 watts at approximately 1 micron and potentially around 30 watts CW at about 1.5 microns. These irradiation levels are considered low due to the continuous wave nature of the laser operation. The contract is managed by the Department of Defense, specifically the office located at Kirtland Air Force Base in New Mexico, under the 377th Message Processing organization. No specific set-aside or NAICS codes are mentioned, and detailed points of contact are not provided. The update ensures clarity on the laser's operating parameters and coating performance requirements, likely guiding potential contractors in fulfilling the solicitation's technical demands.
