About this file
This document contains a set of questions and answers related to a federal contract opportunity for an aluminum vacuum chamber. The key details are:
The contract opportunity is for the purchase of one (1) aluminum vacuum chamber. The required pressure rating is full vacuum (29.9"Hg) and the design temperature is standard (20-40°C). The chamber does not need to be ASME code stamped, but the manufacturer must demonstrate the ability to achieve the full vacuum requirement. Either the top or one side of the chamber must be removable. The government has no country of origin requirements for the materials. The procurement is being conducted as a 100% small business set-aside under NAICS code 332999 with a size standard of 750 employees. Offers are due by 21 May 2024 at 1400 Eastern time.

Q1) We cannot provide the chamber in aluminum. We can build in 304 or 316 stainless steel. Which stainless do they want for their application?
A1) 304 stainless steel is acceptable
Q2) Do they have any “country of origin” requirements for the materials that we use?
A2) No
Q3) Am I correct that the chamber will be used in the vertical position (upright)?
A3) Vertical upright position, correct
Q4) I see that it is called a vacuum chamber so I am assuming it should be rated for full vacuum but in the description it is also called a pressure chamber.
A4) No requirement for positive pressure.
Q5) What pressure rating do they require? Also what is the design temperature?
A5) Vacuum chamber pressure to full vacuum 29.9"Hg. Standard temperature (20-40C)
Q6) Does this chamber need to be ASME Code stamped?
A6) No, but needs be demonstrated to pull full vacuum 29.9"Hg by manufacturer.
Q7) Am I correct that when you say it is a “chamber” you mean that the top end will be removable so that they can put items in the chamber?
A7) Either the top or one side needs to be removable
Q8) If so, how often do they open and close the chamber?
A8) It will vary
Q9) what type of ports are needed?
A9) 2x ¼ NPT, or similar industry standard fill/drain ports for vacuum chamber applications.
