This document is a technical drawing for a thermal strap designed for the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory. The drawing (F10143714) details a precision-engineered thermal strap with specific dimensional specifications, including 2x holes at Ø6.6±0.25, multiple length measurements ranging from 10.4 to 42.0, and critical manufacturing notes. Key manufacturing requirements include using oxygen-free high conductivity (OFHC) copper with 99.99% purity, specific rope configurations, permanent etching, and ultrasonic cleaning. The thermal strap must be fabricated with strict tolerances, free of dirt, grease, oil, and chips, and prepared with sufficient thermal conductance from end block to end block, measured at -30°C.

The associated Request for Proposal (RFP) #364131-RK is for thermal strap fabrication, issued by Fermi Forward Discovery Group, LLC under the Department of Energy's Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory. The solicitation is unrestricted (NAICS code 334419), with a small business size standard of 750 employees. Proposals are due by May 19, 2025, at 4:00 PM CST, with a best-value trade-off source selection process. The evaluation will prioritize technical merit, quality, delivery capabilities, management control, and past experience over pricing. Delivery terms are FOB/DAP to Fermilab in Batavia, IL, with potential reimbursement for applicable duties and tariffs.
