NAVSUP FLC Norfolk invites Lumibird Inc to submit a quote for an Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) Contract for fiber laser systems. These contracts are designed to enable USNO to obtain the fiber laser systems via a task order to the IDIQ contract. SCHEDULE OF ITEMS REQUIRED: The USNO seeks to procure fiber laser systems with the following specifications: Center wavelength: 780.24 nanometers (nm). Continuous wave (CW) laser linewidth: <250 kiloHertz (kHz). CW power output up to 1 Watt (W), adjustable. Continuously tunable (mode-hop free) over at least 8 GigaHertz (GHz) (covers the Rb D2 transition manifold). Wavelength-lock capability via external frequency-tuning input. Output coupled into a single-mode polarization-maintaining fiber with FC/APC coupler, yielding a linearly-polarized output. Separate monitor output, capable of providing >3 milliWatts (mW). Fit into a 3U space in a standard equipment rack. Wall-plug power consumption < 250 W. System shall not employ 780 nm semiconductor components to generate the output. System shall operate continuously for years, without requiring any end-user alignment or adjustments. The Naval Supply System Command Fleet Logistics Center Norfolk is procuring fiber laser systems for the United States Naval Observatory. The laser system shall be compatible and a direct replacement for the existing fountains in terms of available space, power dissipation, and electronic connections. It is anticipated that a single Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity contract action will be awarded with a five (5)-year ordering period set to begin on 30 August 2024 and run through 29 August 2029. The USNO requests an IDIQ comparable to the table below, which would allow for at least one repair a year and flexibility on the other repairs. It is anticipated that a quantity of two (2) each of the fiber laser system will be required during the Government's fiscal year (FY) 2024, an additional one or two during FY2025, FY2026, FY2027, and FY2028. *Quoter must complete the attached pricing sheet.
