NOI to Sole Source - Frequency Comb System Upgrade
Solicitation # FA700026NOIFCS
The 10th Contracting Squadron at the United States Air Force Academy intends to award a sole-source, firm-fixed-price commercial purchase order to Vescent Technologies, Inc. for the upgrade and expansion of a proprietary laser frequency comb system. This acquisition is designed to support the Physics Department's Laser and Optics Research Center by providing specialized wavelength extension modules, optical frequency references, phase-lock servos, temperature controllers, and data acquisition hardware. The project also includes on-site training and installation to ensure seamless integration with the existing government-owned Vescent RubriComb architecture. The government has identified Vescent Technologies as the sole source because the existing system is a closed-architecture platform. Using alternative manufacturers would result in physical and electronic incompatibilities, requiring the complete replacement of the current system and causing significant delays to cadet atomic research programs. While this is a notice of intent for a sole-source award, the government will consider capability statements from other vendors who can prove their hardware is fully compatible with the existing Vescent infrastructure. Interested parties must submit their documentation to the contracting officer by August 24, 2026.

Powder X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) System
Solicitation # FA700026Q0068
The U.S. Air Force Academy is seeking market information for a commercial-off-the-shelf Powder X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) System to be used as a shared analytical platform for multidisciplinary research across materials science, chemistry, physics, environmental science, and engineering. This request is issued as a Sources Sought Notice under solicitation number FA700026Q0068 and is not a formal solicitation, request for proposal, or invitation for bid. The system must be fully functional, plug-and-play, and include a Cu anode X-ray source with a 2.2 kW medium frequency generator, a vertical Theta/Theta goniometer with 0.0001-degree angular resolution, a 2D detector with pixel size no larger than 75 μm, motorized sample stages, a low-temperature chamber operating between -180°C and +450°C under vacuum, SAXS capability with an evacuated flight tube, and software supporting automated workflows, phase identification, structural analysis, PDF determination, and AI-enhanced data processing. Radiation safety must comply with a maximum emission rate of less than 1 μSv/h. The acquisition is governed by FAR Part 12 as a commercial item purchase under a Total Small Business Set-Aside, with a NAICS code of 334516, and preference is given to small businesses including 8(a), SDVOSB, WOSB, and HUBZone participants. Responses must be submitted via email to Ronald Wilson and Mikayla Brandt by 10:00 AM MDT on July 14, 2026, and include company name, address, CAGE code, SAM Unique Entity ID, socioeconomic status, manufacturer status, commercial availability, estimated lead time after receipt of order, and a capability statement not exceeding five pages accompanied by product literature, specification sheets, or catalogs. The system is to be delivered and installed at the USAF Academy in Colorado, with acceptance conducted by the government based on full compliance with the technical requirements outlined. No contract value, pricing, delivery terms, packaging specifications, payment instructions, or contracting officer details are included, as this notice is solely for market research purposes to gauge industry capabilities and determine future solicitation strategy. The government will not compensate respondents and is under no obligation to award a contract based on submissions received.
