Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory

The Department of Energy Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory, a sub-agency of the Department of Energy and the civilian agency that operates the nation's principal high-energy particle physics research facility, procures equipment, materials, construction services, and facility maintenance to support accelerator operations and major physics experiments including the Proton Improvement Plan II (PIP-II) and the Long-Baseline Neutrino Facility (LBNF) / Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment (DUNE).

No recent contract awards data is recorded in the source. The laboratory maintains an active procurement pipeline with multiple solicitations open as of October 2026, focused primarily on specialized accelerator and physics-experiment components, facility infrastructure, and operational services. Recent contract opportunities span capital construction projects, component procurement, and facility services. The Central Utility Building Addition and Renovation (RFP-376508-CD), due November 17, 2026, represents a major multi-year infrastructure effort scheduled to execute during Fermilab's accelerator shutdown from January 2028 through January 2030. The Long-Baseline Neutrino Facility / DUNE Far Detector scaffolding procurement (RFP-LBNF-382472-BM-00), due November 24, 2026, supports underground construction at the Sanford Underground Research Facility in South Dakota. PIP-II project procurements dominate the current solicitation activity, including Niobium sheets and specialty materials (RFP 385634-DSF, due November 10, 2026), reclosable pressure relief valves (RFP 387881-DSF, due November 4, 2026), cryogenic equipment (RFP 387931RLP, due October 28, 2026), and trimming capacitors (RFP 385679-RK, due October 29, 2026). Facility maintenance and repair solicitations include housekeeping services for residential facilities (RFP DH-377725, Total Small Business set-aside, due October 16, 2026) and specialized technical services including fire sprinkler repairs (RFP ISD-381401-RO, Total Small Business set-aside, due September 23, 2026) and roof replacement work (RFP ISD_384202_DA, Total Small Business set-aside, due October 6, 2026). Nearly all open solicitations are non-set-aside, with the exception of housekeeping and facility-maintenance procurements designated for small business. The laboratory operates under Fermi Forward Discovery Group, LLC, the prime contractor managing Fermilab on behalf of the Department of Energy.
