High-Precision Tunable Red Laser System Integration

The contract seeks the design, assembly, and calibration of a high-precision tunable red laser system operating at 640 nm with a narrow linewidth, high output power, and sustained frequency stability across varying thermal conditions. The system must meet rigorous optical performance standards to support advanced scientific applications, requiring precise control over wavelength tuning and minimal spectral drift. Integration efforts must ensure robust thermal management and long-term reliability under operational environments, with all components fabricated and assembled to exacting specifications. This subcontract is issued under NAICS code 334516 by the Department of Commerce, NIST, with a performance location in zip code 14534. The opportunity was posted on July 22, 2026, and responses are due by August 3, 2026, at 3:00 PM. While no set-aside classification is specified, the solicitation is focused on technical expertise in precision laser systems and expects submission of solutions capable of meeting high-stakes metrology and research requirements. All work must be completed in accordance with NIST's standard for accuracy and repeatability in photonic instrumentation.
