Laser Spectrum Analyzer
Waiver type - Procurement: Nonavailability
Agency: NATIONAL INSTITUTE OF STANDARDS AND TECHNOLOGY (1341) • Product Service Code (PSC) : 6640 | Last Modified: 07/21/2025
Procurement Summary
National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Physical Measurement Lab (PML), Sensor Science Division (SSD), requires a laser spectrum analyzer. The purpose of this acquisition is to procure a laser spectrum analyzer, a critical instrument required for the precise measurement and verification of wavelengths emitted by the tunable laser system. Accurate wavelength determination is essential for ensuring the reliability and traceability of calibration procedures, particularly when the laser is used to calibrate sensitive optical equipment such as spectroradiometers and photodetectors. By integrating a high-resolution spectrum analyzer into the calibration setup, the facility can confidently assess the spectral accuracy of the tunable laser, thereby enhancing the overall performance and credibility of its measurement services.
Waiver Rationale Summary
Consistent with market research results, no domestic product has been identified that can meet the Government's requirements. The required laser spectrum analyzer is not mined, produced, or manufactured in the United States in sufficient and reasonably available commercial quantities, of satisfactory quality.
