About this file
This is an Amendment to Solicitation for RFP-381067-GMG issued by Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory on April 30, 2026, with an opening date of May 8, 2026. The amendment, issued on May 5, 2026, addresses a question submitted by interested parties regarding expected monthly liquid argon usage for the procurement of a Cryogenic Microbulk 3000-liter Liquid Argon Dewar.
The response clarifies that average monthly liquid argon consumption is approximately 300 cubic feet (8,500 liters), with peak usage reaching 745 cubic feet (21,100 liters) per month. Usage varies based on active experiments and seasonal factors, with increased boil-off losses during warmer summer months. Bidders must acknowledge this amendment prior to the solicitation opening date by separate email, and any changes to previously submitted bids may be made via email if received before the opening time. All other terms and conditions of the original solicitation remain unchanged. The procurement contact is Grace Gomez, Procurement Specialist II, at Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory, Batavia, Illinois.

The above reference Solicitation is amended as follows:
This Amendment is issued to respond to questions submitted by interested parties.
Question: Do we know the expected monthly Argon usage (either in ccf, cf, or liters)?
Response: An average of approximately 300 cubic feet (8,500 liters) per month of liquid argon is used, but we have gone as high as 745 cubic feet (21,100 liters) in a month. It varies depending on what experiments are running and during the summer months, when it’s warmer, the boil off (wasted and vented gas) is a bit higher.
All other terms and conditions remain unchanged.
