Optical Component Supply for Frequency Conversion (SHG Module)

The contract seeks the supply of high-efficiency second-harmonic generation components or modules designed to convert 798 nm laser light to 399 nm through nonlinear crystal technology, with strict requirements for high conversion efficiency and minimal thermal drift under operational conditions. The deliverables must meet precise optical performance standards to ensure stability and reliability in critical applications, likely tied to scientific instrumentation or precision measurement systems. The subcontract is issued by the National Institute of Standards and Technology under the Department of Commerce, with performance required at the Boulder location, 80305. Responses are due by August 19, 2026, and the solicitation falls under NAICS code 334513, indicating a focus on the manufacturing of optical instrument and lens components. The contract does not specify set-aside status or small business preferences, and no point of contact is listed in the available data. Interested parties must ensure their proposed solutions align with the technical demands of frequency conversion at high efficiency while maintaining thermal stability, and submission must comply with the federal procurement timeline outlined in the posting.
