Attachment I Sole Source Justification

Background
The proposed simplified acquisition is being solicited on a sole source basis with IMRA America Inc, located at 1044 Woodridge Ave, Ann Arbor, Michigan 48105 USA. The contract is for commercial supplies/services that are essential for the United States Naval Observatory (USNO) to maintain and enhance their existing systems.

The IMRA Universal Locking Controller (ULC) is a proprietary piece of electronics specifically designed to operate the IMRA E-COMB, which is currently utilized by USNO in clock development. This acquisition aims to procure components that are critical for the CALCLOS laser system, which bridges optical wavelengths and requires precise specifications to function effectively.

Work Details
The contract involves the procurement of a Locking Electronic Upgrade to the CALCLOS System. The required supplies include:
- Commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) equipment that meets specific requirements such as a 2U rack height, analog circuitry, and filter outputs fully matched to the IMRA frequency comb.
- The frequency comb must fit into a 2U segment of a fully occupied 29” electronics rack and must be compatible with existing systems in terms of form, fit, and function.
- The frequency comb is integral to the CALCLOS laser system operating at optical wavelengths of 1542nm and 1315nm with a tunable repetition rate of 160 MHz.
- Any new or repaired frequency comb must meet these specifications.
