About this file
This is a Request for Proposal (RFP) issued by Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory (Fermilab), managed by Fermi Forward Discovery Group (FFDG) for the U.S. Department of Energy Office of Science. The RFP number is 381413-GMG with a quotation closing date of May 25, 2026, at 4:00 PM Central Time. The procurement is for a SNSPD Detector System Upgrade consisting of two line items: (1) four superconducting nanowire single photon detectors (SNSPD) with specified performance requirements including >85% photon detection efficiency at 1550 nm, ≤25 ps timing jitter, ≤60 ns recovery time, dark counts ≤100 counts per second, and photon number resolving capability for N=2 and N=3 photons, along with cryogenic amplifiers and readout electronics; and (2) one controllable solenoid vacuum valve, vacuum pump, relays, and control electronics for full automation of cryostat cooldown procedures. All line items must be implemented within the existing Quantum Opus One Cryostat enclosure of 3U rack size.
Award will be made on a Low Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) basis to the responsible supplier offering the lowest evaluated price, with FFDG intending to award without discussions. Proposals must include completed RFP pages with pricing, a Subcontractor Annual Reps & Certs (SARC) form, and PUR-466 Proposal Certifications. The contract will be performed under Prime Contract No. DE AC02 07CH11359 with the U.S. Department of Energy and will be subject to FFDG General Terms and Conditions for Commercial Products and Commercial Services (08/2025). Delivery is to Fermilab, Kirk and Pine Street, P.O. Box 500, Batavia, IL 60510. All contractual questions should be directed to Grace Gomez, Procurement Specialist II, at 630-840-2840 or ggomez@fnal.gov.
