Performance Validation Testing of Tunable Laser Module

The contract requires the performance validation testing of a tunable laser module to ensure it meets a continuous tuning rate of 100 nm/s across the wavelength range of 1540 to 1560 nm prior to shipment. This pre-shipment verification is critical to confirm the laser module’s operational integrity and compliance with specified technical criteria under real-world conditions. The testing must be conducted in accordance with established protocols to validate performance consistency and reliability, ensuring the component is fit for its intended application in NASA’s advanced optical systems. The contract is classified as a subcontract under NAICS code 541380 and is managed by the NASA Shared Services Center on behalf of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration. The place of performance is designated as Edwards, California, with a ZIP code of 93523. The solicitation was posted on May 5, 2026, and responses are due by May 8, 2026, at 9:00 PM Eastern Time. This timing indicates a short turnaround window, emphasizing the urgency and precision required in conducting and reporting the validation tests. The absence of a set-aside designation suggests the opportunity is open to all eligible contractors without demographic or size-based restrictions.
