Description

NASA’s National Security Space Center seeks two high‑precision solid etalon optical filters (specified etalons) to be supplied and delivered to Langley Research Center. The requirement includes fused‑silica bodies, precise coating, bonding with Norland 61, and potential post‑delivery polishing to meet strict wavelength tolerances. The contract will be a sole‑source award to LightMachinery Inc, but capability statements are being collected to evaluate competition. Delivery is expected within two months after order release. • Quantity: 2 solid etalon assemblies meeting detailed optical, mechanical, and thermal specs. • Technical scope: coating, bonding, possible polishing, and compliance with free spectral range, FWHM, center wavelength, transmission, and field‑of‑view requirements. • Performance timeline: 2‑month period of performance after order release; submission of capability statements due 4 p.m. CST on 10/08/2026.

Budget estimate

$100,000 – $300,000

Based on the high‑precision nature of the solid‑etalon assemblies, custom coating, bonding, and potential polishing, each unit could command a price in the $50,000‑$150,000 range. Including engineering, testing, and delivery, the total contract value is estimated between $100,000 and $300,000. Factors influencing the range include material cost (fused silica), coating technology, labor intensity for polishing to ±30 pm tolerances, and logistics to Langley Research Center.
