Dual Wavelength Ultra-High Reflectivity Mirror Fabrication

Precision manufacturing of optical mirrors with ultra-high reflectivity coatings is required for two specific wavelengths, involving full-process execution from substrate preparation through thin-film deposition, performance validation, and final packaging. The work must meet stringent optical performance standards to ensure optimal reflectivity at the designated wavelengths, with all phases conducted under controlled environmental and quality assurance protocols to maintain surface integrity and coating uniformity. The project is structured as a small business set-aside under SBA guidelines, exclusively available to total small businesses as defined by FAR 19.5, and falls under NAICS code 334516 for optical instrument and lens manufacturing. Performance is to be carried out at the facility in Gaithersburg, Maryland, 20899, under the oversight of the National Institute of Standards and Technology within the Department of Commerce. Proposals must be submitted by the deadline of July 1, 2026, at 9:00 AM, with no solicitation number provided, indicating direct award via a subcontract opportunity on SAM.gov.
