About this file

This document is a Temperature Sensor Instrumentation Specification detailing technical specifications for three specific temperature sensor models to be used in PIPII cryomodules: PT103 Platinum RTD and two Cernox models (CX-1030-CU-HT,SD-HT and CX-1030-CU-HT,CU-HT). The specifications comprehensively outline each sensor's performance characteristics, including temperature ranges, thermal response times, accuracy, reproducibility, radiation stability, and recommended excitation levels. Both sensor types are designed for cryogenic applications, with the Cernox models capable of measuring temperatures from 0.1K to 420K and the PT103 functioning between 14K and 873K.

The related federal contract opportunity, issued by the Department of Energy's Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory, is a pre-solicitation for procuring these specific temperature sensors. Fermi Research Alliance, LLC intends to issue a sole-source subcontract to Lake Shore Cryotronics Inc. for 421 CX-1030-SD-HT-1.4L sensors, 202 CX-1030-CU-HT-1.4L sensors, 45 PT-103 sensors, and 97 PT-103-AM sensors. Interested organizations may submit capabilities and qualifications by 4:00 p.m. Central Standard Time on 04/10/2025, with the government retaining discretion to determine competitive procurement approach.
