Optical Engineering and Optomechanical Engineering Services RFI
JPL is seeking information from qualified vendors on their capability to provide Optical Engineering and Optomechanical Engineering services to support upcoming flight programs. The work covers the full engineering life cycle for complex instruments, including off-axis reflective telescopes, cryogenic imaging systems, hyperspectral imaging systems, and multiband imaging systems. Required capabilities include optical design and modeling, optomechanical hardware design, STOP analysis, test automation, and cleanroom integration, alignment, and verification. Some work may require an active TS/SCI clearance, and partners must support technology transfer to institutionalize custom alignment and test methods for multi-copy instrument builds. This RFI is for planning purposes only and may inform a future solicitation, including potential small business set-aside decisions.
