Sid4 Swir-Hr Wavefront Sensor

ID: 80NSSC237966 • Type: Presolicitation

Description

Synopsis:

NASA/NSSC has a requirement for SID4 SWIR-HR WAVEFRONT SENSOR.

NASA/NSSC intends to issue a sole source contract to PHASICS CORPORATION under the authority of FAR 13.106-1(b)(1)(i). It has been determined that PHASICS CORPORATION is the sole manufactures wavefront sensors that measure wavefront when the beam is converging, and is compatible with equipment already in place at NASA.

NASA/NSSC will be the procuring center for this effort. Performance will be located at NASA/ Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC).

The Government intends to acquire commercial items and services using the provisions, clauses and procedures prescribed in FAR Part 12 and FAR Part 13.

The NAICS Code for this procurement is 333310

Interested organizations may submit their capabilities and qualifications to perform the effort in writing to the identified point of contact not later than 4:00 p.m. EASTERN Standard Time on 9/7/2023. Such capabilities/qualifications will be evaluated solely for the purpose of determining whether or not to conduct this procurement on a competitive basis.

Background
NASA/NSSC has a requirement for SID4 SWIR-HR WAVEFRONT SENSOR. NASA/NSSC intends to issue a sole source contract to PHASICS CORPORATION under the authority of 13.106-1(b)(1)(i). It has been determined that PHASICS CORPORATION is the sole manufacturer of wavefront sensors that measure wavefront when the beam is converging, and is compatible with equipment already in place at NASA. NASA/NSSC will be the procuring center for this effort.

Work Details
The exoplanet spectroscopy (ExoSpec) laboratory demonstrations require in-situ characterization of different optical elements at different beam sizes and locations. To achieve this goal, a wavefront sensor is required that can measure wavefront at collimated as well as converging beam locations. The wavefront sensor shall be able to measure a beam with NA>0.5, have a wavelength in the visible spectrum, aperture size greater than 8mmx8mm, spatial resolution greater than 25 microns, and wavefront resolution less than 2nm.

Place of Performance
Performance will be located at NASA/Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC).
