High-Power 780 nm Continuous-Wave Laser System Supplier

The contract seeks a supplier to provide a high-power continuous-wave laser system capable of producing more than 200 milliwatts of coherent light at 780 nm wavelength by frequency doubling a 1560 nm input. The system must meet stringent low-noise and stability standards to ensure seamless integration into the Department of Commerce’s National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) measurement systems. This procurement is designated as a total small business set-aside, emphasizing opportunities for small enterprises under the NAICS code 334512. The contract is a subcontract opportunity posted on June 15, 2026, with a response deadline of June 24, 2026. The place of performance is in Gaithersburg, Maryland, where NIST is located. The laser system is intended to support advanced measurement applications requiring highly stable and precise laser output, critical for NIST’s scientific and technological objectives.
