This item is required to pre-condition the laser beam within a new, state-of-the-art microscope system that we are installing as part of a BRAIN grant/collaboration with a laboratory at University College London.
Background/Description of Requirement

The optics of the system requires extreme laser pulse compression (32,000 fs^2) that is not offered by any other manufacturer. Coherent does not produce a system that accommodates this compression, nor does ThorLabs.

Responses to this notice shall contain sufficient information to establish the interested parties’ bona-fide capabilities for fulfilling the requirement and include: unit price, list price, shipping and handling costs, the delivery period after contract award, the prompt payment discount terms, the F.O.B. Point (Destination or Origin), the Dun & Bradstreet Number (DUNS), the Taxpayer Identification Number (TIN), and the certification of business size. All offerors must have an active registration in the System for Award Management (SAM) www.sam.gov.

All responses must be received by closing date and must reference the announcement. Responses may be submitted electronically to the attention of the contract specialist. Fax responses will not be accepted.

All responsible sources may submit a bid, proposal, or quotation which shall be considered by the agency.
