PPLN Waveguide Mixer Design and FabricationThe contract requires the design, fabrication, and testing of a custom 2×1 periodically poled lithium niobate waveguide mixer intended for use as an optical parametric amplifier in quantum photonic systems. The device must operate with a 780 nm pump wavelength and a 1560 nm signal wavelength, delivering a minimum output power of 4 milliwatts and achieving at least 3.5 decibels of squeezed light performance, critical for quantum noise reduction applications. The waveguide structure must be precisely engineered to enable efficient nonlinear interactions and maintain stability under operational conditions, with all phases of development—from simulation and prototyping to rigorous optical testing—expected to meet exacting technical specifications. The work is issued as a subcontract under the National Research Council of Canada, part of the Government of Canada, and is focused on the National Capital Region for performance. The solicitation was posted on June 26, 2026, with responses due by July 12, 2026, and falls under NAICS code 334516, indicating classification within the manufacturing of optical instruments and lenses. While no set-aside provisions or point of contact details are specified, the urgency and precision required suggest a highly specialized technical effort, likely targeting vendors with prior experience in nonlinear optical materials, chip-scale photonics, and quantum light source development. All deliverables must be fully documented and validated to ensure readiness for integration into advanced quantum photonic platforms.

Verdi G5 OPSLaser-Diode SystemThe Naval Research Laboratory intends to award a sole source purchase order to Coherent NA, Inc. for the Verdi G5 OPSLaser-Diode System, citing unusual and compelling urgency as the justification for bypassing competitive procedures. This procurement is being conducted under Simplified Acquisition Procedures in accordance with FAR Part 13.106-1(b), with a value not exceeding the $350,000 threshold, and falls under NAICS code 334516 with a size standard of 1000 employees and FSC/PSC 6640. The requirement is exclusively for this specific laser system, as no other supplier or alternative product is deemed capable of meeting the agency’s needs. Public interest in competing for this contract may be expressed by the specified deadline, but responses must provide clear and convincing evidence that competition would benefit the government; failure to do so will result in no change to the planned sole source award. All correspondence must reference the Notice of Intent number and no costs incurred in submitting information will be reimbursed. The procurement is managed under the Department of Defense with point of contact Teigh Cheyney at the Naval Research Laboratory in Washington, D.C.
