About this file

This is a Request for Proposal (RFP) from Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory (Fermilab) for 36 units of 4 1/16" Coaxial dual directional couplers for a 325 MHz System. The RFP is issued by Fermi Forward Discovery Group, LLC (FFDG) under Department of Energy (DOE) Prime Contract No. DE AC02 07CH11359, with proposals due by 5pm CST on November 7, 2025. The procurement will follow a best value source selection method, with award going to the lowest-priced technically acceptable offeror, and FFDG intends to award without discussions.

The detailed specification requires the directional couplers to have specific technical characteristics, including a center frequency of 325 MHz, bandwidth of 5 MHz, 20 kW CW power handling, 50 +/- 0.5 dB coupling, ≥35 dB directivity, and other precise electrical and mechanical parameters. Vendors must provide serialized units with calibration information, S-Matrix data, and deliver within 20 weeks after receipt of order (ARO). The units will be shipped to Fermilab Receiving Warehouse 2 in Batavia, IL, and vendors must complete and return the SARC and PUR-466 forms with their proposal.
