The Air Force Life Cycle Management Center, on behalf of the Air Force Institute of Technology, is conducting market research via a Sources Sought notice to identify qualified sources for the manufacture and delivery of 66 customized off-axis parabolic mirrors and associated protected-gold coating services. These precision optical components are intended for use in the Extreme Light Laboratory to support ultra-intense laser experiments. The mirrors must feature a 30mm diameter fused-silica substrate with a parabolic focus at 45 degrees, a surface roughness of less than 1nm RMS, and a scratch/dig specification of 20-10. The required protected-gold coating must provide an average reflectivity of at least 97 percent at a wavelength of 780 plus or minus 40nm with a 45-degree angle of incidence. The selected contractor will be responsible for all labor, materials, quality assurance, and transportation to Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, Ohio. Key deliverables include the mirrors and comprehensive test data, including certificates of conformance and surface-measurement data. Delivery is required within 98 calendar days after receipt of order, and the equipment must be warranted against defects for two years following receipt.
