Radiation-Resistant Objective and Optical Components

The contract pertains to the supply of an OB7110 integrated objective with lead glass, specifically engineered to endure prolonged exposure to X-ray radiation without degradation in optical performance. This component is critical for applications requiring high precision imaging under intense radiation conditions, and the design must ensure long-term stability, clarity, and structural integrity in such environments. The lead glass integration is a key feature, providing necessary shielding while maintaining the optical path required for accurate data acquisition in high-energy physics and imaging systems. The solicitation is issued as a subcontract under the NAICS code 334510, which classifies it within the optical instrument and equipment manufacturing sector. It is associated with SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory, a Department of Energy contractor, with performance expected to take place in Menlo Park, California, at the 94025 ZIP code. The proposal submission deadline is July 8, 2026, with the opportunity posted on June 30, 2026. The contract is open to suppliers capable of delivering radiation-hardened optical components meeting exacting technical standards for use in advanced scientific research facilities.
