The U.S. Government intends to award a sole-source contract to Indie Photonics in Canada for specialized optical filters and related equipment, including tunable filters, a phase mask, and a power/control unit. These components are critical for advancing quantum computing, sensing, and communications research, as no other company can meet the required specifications for high isolation filters. The government has determined that other products cannot be modified to meet its needs, and Indie Photonics is the sole manufacturer without a reseller network. Responses from other sources must demonstrate clear evidence that competition would benefit the government, with an anticipated award date on or before 30 July 2026. Performance location is not specified, and no budget amount is provided.
