Sole Source for three (3) multiple scientific laser systems and four (4) replacement constituent components for atomic spectroscopy applications in quantum technologies.

Summary (Newest Update)

Background The U.S. Army Contracting Command - Aberdeen Proving Ground (ACC-APG) is seeking to procure three (3) multiple scientific laser systems and four (4) replacement constituent components for atomic spectroscopy applications in quantum technologies. This acquisition is being conducted as a sole source procurement, indicating that Toptica Photonics is the only responsible source capable of providing the required items. Work Details The contract involves the delivery of three (3) multiple scientific laser systems and four (4) replacement constituent components specifically designed for atomic spectroscopy applications in quantum technologies. The Product Service Code (PSC) for this requirement is 6640, which pertains to Laboratory Equipment and Supplies. Period of Performance The geographic location(s) the product will be delivered to or performed at Place of Performance Delivery will be made to the CCDC ARL located at 2800 Powder Mill Road, Adelphi, MD 20783-1145. Bidder Requirements Bidders must be authorized distributors or manufacturers of the specified products. There are no additional stated requirements regarding set-aside status or other certifications. Incumbent Analysis (see Incumbents section for more detail) The prior award W911QX25PA045 was awarded to Toptica Photonics for a continuously tunable laser (CTL) under a contract valued at $57,248 (07/18/25–12/03/25). The current requirement is also for scientific laser systems and replacement components intended for atomic spectroscopy applications in quantum technologies, which suggests the earlier CTL work may be part of the same or compatible laser subsystem used in these spectroscopy efforts.
