  Notice of Intent to Noncompetitively acquire multicolored laser systems.
  
  This notice is not a request for a quotation. A solicitation document will not be issued, and quotations will not be requested.
  
  This acquisition is being conducted under the authority of FAR 13.106-1(b). The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code for this acquisition is 334516 - Analytical Laboratory Instrument Manufacturing, with a small business size standard of 1,000 employees.
  The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Dimensional Metrology Group (DMG) intends to procure a multicolored laser system which includes the purchase of five (5) lasers and two (2) combiners for the lasers. NIST requires the multicolored laser system for developing devices that measure optical properties of living mammalian cells in flow at high speed. NIST requires multiwavelength light sources that can couple light via optical fibers into custom made optofluidic flow cytometry systems. The light sources will then excite fluorescent compounds in the cells or fluids around them (e.g. DAPI, fluorescein, GFP, Cy5). Thus NIST requires lasers capable of exciting these dyes near their peak absorbances of 395 nm, 488 nm, and 645 nm. Further, NIST-s application requires low-noise analog laser modulation up to 100 MHz. NIST requires 2 equivalent and independently controllable systems in order provide light to increase the number of laser positions within its custom optofluidic devices from 2 to 4. In order to expand capabilities to measure multiple optical signals at once, NIST requires a multicolored light source that combines independently controlled lasers into a single optical fiber, which is then coupled into NIST-s custom optofluidic systems. Omicron LuxX multicolored laser system is the only system that is compatible with existing Omicron LuxX lasers in the laboratory. In order to allow for calibrating the new system to NIST-s existing measureme...
