What this opportunity is

The Department of Commerce is seeking 759 nm butterfly-packaged lasers and laser amplifiers, specifically semiconductor laser amplifiers, compact semiconductor external cavity diode lasers, and compact single-frequency distributed feedback lasers. This requirement is suitable for small businesses in the NAICS code 334516, which includes semiconductor and related device manufacturing. The notice type is a Sources Sought, indicating that the government is seeking information from potential sources rather than immediately soliciting bids, so interested businesses should track the opportunity for further updates.
