Quantum Optical Link Stabilizer System Supply

The contract involves the procurement and delivery of the LINQ.SYNQ optical link stabilizer system, a specialized device engineered to correct timing drift of up to 1 nanosecond in quantum fiber networks spanning distances of up to 3 kilometers. This system is critical for maintaining the precise synchronization required in quantum communication and sensing applications, ensuring data integrity and signal coherence over deployed fiber infrastructure. The deliverables are scoped to include full system integration, testing, and commissioning to meet stringent performance benchmarks under operational conditions. The procurement is structured as a subcontract under the Department of Defense, specifically managed by FA8751 AFRL RIKO, and is tied to a place of performance in Rome, New York, with a NAICS code of 334511 indicating electronic component and product manufacturing. The solicitation was posted on July 27, 2026, and while no set-aside designation or specific point of contact is provided, the technical nature of the requirement suggests a focus on high-precision photonics capabilities from qualified subcontractors. Delivery timelines and compliance with military-grade reliability standards are implicitly expected, given the defense context and quantum network deployment objectives.
