Market consultation Frequency comb laser system
Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam is conducting a market consultation for a frequency comb laser system. The objective is to map the number of potential suppliers and thus determine the most suitable procurement procedure. The consultation asks suppliers to provide detailed technical product specifications, including frequency comb, repetition rate, spectral range, output power, stability, integration with control software, laser safety standards (CE, LVD, LSA), maintenance and warranty conditions, and training opportunities. The information will be used to segment the market, assess the complexity of the project, and select the appropriate procedure (e.g., open, restricted, or negotiated procedure). The VU expects a system that meets the highest scientific requirements and is compatible with existing research facilities.
