The Naval Research Laboratory intends to award a sole source contract to IPG Photonics for the procurement and installation of high-power continuous wave (CW) lasers, including one 50kW and one 8kW system with specific technical requirements. This is a brand-name requirement because market research indicates IPG is the only manufacturer capable of meeting the government's critical specifications. A solicitation will not be posted, but all responsible sources may submit capability statements demonstrating their ability to provide comparable items, which will be considered. No budget amounts or performance location are specified in the notice.
