CDC NIOSH Quantum Cascade Laser and Detector — 75D301-26-Q-79265
FundingNo fixed maximum contract value verified.
DeadlineVerification Pending — current September 19, 2026 SAM.gov record contains an impossible September 23, 2016 response date and conflicting clock times
Last verifiedSeptember 19, 2026
Required next actionRemain unpublished until the controlling RFQ attachment or corrected SAM.gov metadata verifies the actual September 2026 response date/time. Do not create outreach or a direct-vendor response while the deadline is ambiguous.
Broad Eligibility
No set-aside shown. Intended sole-source acquisition to Block Engineering LLC, with responsible alternate sources permitted to submit quotations or capability information. Exact response deadline remains unresolved because the current SAM metadata is malformed.
Atlas Analysis
Current SAM notice ID 53c4193e51bb46aa9516761f8014c342 was posted September 19, 2026 and identifies the intended Block Engineering quantum-cascade-laser acquisition. Its response and archive fields incorrectly show 2016, and mirrors disagree on the clock time. Fail closed until the controlling RFQ resolves the deadline. Targeted WorkDrive search found no documented Dr. Miltie Block Engineering or equivalent QCL capability.
Opportunity Overview
CDC NIOSH has posted Quantum Cascade Laser and Detector, 75D301-26-Q-79265, for Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. The requirement supports development of a portable real-time monitor for respirable crystalline silica and calls for a quantum cascade laser with associated detector and thermocooler.
Acquisition Posture
CDC identifies Block Engineering LLC as the intended sole-source provider based on the required tunable-laser characteristics, while allowing responsible sources to submit quotations or capability information for Government consideration.
Verification Hold
The September 19, 2026 SAM.gov notice is current, but its structured response and archive fields contain an impossible 2016 date. Current reproductions also disagree on the exact clock time. Atlas therefore will not infer a 2026 response deadline from the malformed metadata. The record remains unpublished until the controlling RFQ attachment or corrected SAM.gov metadata establishes the actual deadline.
Direct-Vendor Assessment
A targeted Dr. Miltie WorkDrive review did not identify documented Block Engineering authorization or equivalent quantum-cascade-laser supply capability. No unsupported response has been initiated.
