NASA/ARC is hereby soliciting information about potential sources to provide, One (1) each CW Laser and Water Riser Chiller.

Objective: NASA Ames is setting up a molecular Rayleigh scattering experiment to measure fluctuations in density, velocity and temperature in high speed airflows. The Rayleigh scattered light from the gas molecules will be spectrally analyzed to determine Doppler shift and thermal broadening which provide a measure of velocity and temperature. The central element for this setup is a single line width, stabilized, continuous-wave, laser.

Requirements:
Power: 6W CW, TEM00
Power Stability: +- 1%
Wavelength: 532nm
Polarization: 100:1
Linewidth: 5MHz rms (true single longitudinal mode)
Noise: 0.02% rms
Maximum beam diameter: 2.5mm
Beam Divergence: <0.5 mrad
Water Riser Chiller (for maintaining a stable laser head temperature during prolonged operation)

The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) ARC is seeking capability statements from all interested parties, including Small, Small Disadvantaged (SDB), 8(a), Woman-owned (WOSB), Veteran Owned (VOSB), Service Disabled Veteran Owned (SDVOSB), Historically Underutilized Business Zone (HUBZone) businesses, and Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCU)/Minority Institutions (MI) for the purposes of determining the appropriate level of competition and/or small business subcontracting goals for the purchase of One (1) each CW Laser and Water Riser Chiller. The Government reserves the right to consider a Small, 8(a), Woman-owned (WOSB), Service Disabled Veteran (SD-VOSB), or HUBZone business set-aside based on responses hereto.
This synopsis is for information and planning purposes and is not to be construed as a commitment by the Government nor will the Government pay for information solicited. Respondents will not be notified of the results of the evaluation. Respondents deemed fully qualified will be considered in any resultant solicitation for the requirement.
No solicitation exists; therefore, do not request a copy of the solicitation. If a solicitation is released it will be synopsized in FedBizOpps. It is the potential offerors responsibility to monitor these sites for the release of any solicitation or synopsis.
Interested offerors/vendors capable of providing a laser and water riser chiller meeting all requirements should submit a capability statement of 2 pages or less indicating the ability to perform all aspects of the effort described herein, company name, point of contact, email address, telephone number and if they are a small or large business.
All interested parties shall submit information to Wendy Takeguchi at [email protected] no later than 2:00 p.m. (noon) PST, on Friday 7/15/2016. Please reference CW Laser and Water Riser Chiller, 4200589415-AWT, in any response.
