AI Contract Overview

The 10th Contracting Squadron at the U.S. Air Force Academy is conducting market research under a Sources Sought Notice to identify vendors capable of supplying a nanosecond Q-switched Nd:YAG laser to serve as the excitation source for an existing Edinburgh Instruments LP980 spectrometer in the Physics and Meteorology Department and the Laser and Optics Research Center. This notice is purely for informational and planning purposes and does not constitute a solicitation, invitation to bid, or any commitment by the Government to award a contract. Respondents are asked to submit a Capability Statement detailing their ability to meet specific performance criteria, including a laser system with a minimum pulse energy of 850 mJ at 1064 nm, 430 mJ at 532 nm, and 230 mJ at 355 nm, with an 8 to 10 mm beam diameter, 10 Hz repetition rate, and 3 to 6 ns pulse duration. The system must be fully compatible with the LP980 spectrometer and controllable via its native software, include detachable and temperature-stabilized harmonic generation modules with automatic phase matching, and incorporate wavelength separation optics, a beam dump, and a beam attenuator. The flashlamp must carry a 100 million shot warranty, allow replacement without cavity realignment, and be accompanied by two sets of replacement water filters. The system must operate on standard 110 V power, utilize self-contained water-to-air cooling, and be delivered freight prepaid to the U.S. Air Force Academy, Colorado, 80840.
