Tunable Low-noise Short Wavelength Visible Coherent Light Source System

STATEMENT OF WORK Title: Frequency-Doubled Optical Amplifier I. BACKGROUND The Quantum Measurement Division (QMD) at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) provides the fundamental basis for the measurement of mass, force, and vibration in the United States by maintaining and modernizing primary standards linked to the International System of Units (SI). The Division performs leading-edge research to develop advanced measurement technologies and provides calibration services that support U.S. industrial productivity and ensure equity in trade. The QMD has a requirement for a frequency-doubled fiber amplifier to generate 100’s of mW of coherent 780 nm light from < 10 mW of coherent 1560 nm light. This apparatus will be integrated into primary acoustic measurement systems, in support of the Division’s mission to deliver accuracy and traceability of acoustic measurements. II. SCOPE In order to meet the mission indicated above, the Mass and Force Group requires an apparatus for generating 200 mW or more of coherent 780 nm light from 10 mW or less of 1550 nm light. III. MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS The system shall meet or exceed the minimum requirements identified below. All items must be new. Used or remanufactured equipment will not be considered for award. Experimental, prototype, or custom items will not be considered. The use of “gray market” components not authorized for sale in the U.S. by the Contractor is not acceptable. All line items shall be shipped in the original manufacturer’s packaging and include all original documentation and software, when applicable. The Contractor shall provide a system upgrade that meets all technical specifications identified below.

This section applies to deliverables which must be reviewed and approved for acceptances (e.g., draft plans, drawings, etc) V. PERIOD OF PERFORMANCE / LEAD TIME The period of performance shall be sixteen (16) weeks after receipt of order. VII. DELIVERY TERMS Delivery shall be FOB Destination (or equivalent terms, such as INCOTERMS Delivered Duties Paid) are required and shall occur not later than (NLT) sixteen (16) weeks ARO. The Contractor shall pack and mark the shipment in conformance with carrier's requirements, deliver the shipment in good order and condition to the point of delivery specified in the purchase order, be responsible for any loss of or damage to the goods occurring before receipt and acceptance of the shipment by the NIST consignee at the delivery point specified in the purchase order; and pay all charges to the specified point of delivery. The Contractor shall coordinate this with the NIST subject matter expert (SME) prior to shipping. Coordination includes shipping method, anticipated delivery date, tracking number, and any special considerations. The delivery address is: National Institute of Standards and Technology Shipping and Receiving (Div 684.07) 100 Bureau Drive, Building 301 Gaithersburg, MD 20899 X. INSPECTION & ACCEPTANCE In addition to the inspection and acceptance terms articulated in 52.212-4, the Government reserves the right to perform such performance tests and evaluations as defined below to verify specified system performance. Upon delivery, a visual inspection will be performed by the NIST SME to identify defects, damage, or nonconformity. The Government shall have sole discretion to reject or require replacement of such items at no cost to the Government. Ownership of the items shall transfer to NIST upon acceptance by NIST. Confirmation of acceptance will be provided by the NIST SME within two (2) weeks. Performance Tests: Output power Output linewidth Output PER XI. WARRANTY The contractor shall warrant the entire system for a period of one (1) year after acceptance of the equipment and shall be in accordance with terms in FAR 52.212-4. XIII. PAYMENT SCHEDULE The Contractor shall be paid, in accordance with Net 30-day payment terms, upon receipt and acceptance of a proper invoice, in accordance with the following schedule: 100% after installation and acceptance by the TPOC of system. The Government anticipates inspection will occur upon: After the testing procedures set forth in this document have been completed.
