Precision Optical Assembly Manufacturing

A custom optical assembly is being procured for laser conditioning at 759 nm, requiring precise design, manufacture, and testing to meet stringent performance standards. The assembly must integrate spectral filtering, power stabilization, real-time monitoring, and fiber coupling capabilities, all mounted on a low-thermal-expansion baseplate to ensure thermal stability under operational conditions. The work demands high precision in optical alignment and material selection to maintain performance integrity across varying environmental conditions, with deliverables including fully functional units verified through rigorous testing protocols. The contract is classified as a subcontract under NAICS code 334510, issued by the Department of Commerce through NIST, with performance required in Boulder, Colorado, at the 80305 ZIP code. Proposals must be submitted by August 7, 2026, at 5:00 PM, following a posting date of July 28, 2026. While no specific set-aside criteria or point of contact details are provided, the solicitation emphasizes technical excellence and adherence to thermal and optical performance benchmarks essential for NIST’s laser conditioning applications.
