550-101A UL1000 Fab Mobile helium leak detector

Oak Ridge National Laboratory, operating under Department of Energy civilian authority, seeks a firm fixed price quote for one unit of a 550-101A UL1000 Fab Mobile helium leak detector or domestic equivalent, with proposals due July 9, 2026 at 5:00 PM EST and questions due July 7, 2026 at 4:00 PM EST. This is not a small business set-aside.

Place of performance is Oak Ridge, Tennessee. The equipment must detect helium and hydrogen with a minimum detectable leak rate of less than 5E-12 mbarl/s in vacuum mode and less than 5E-8 mbarl/s in sniffing mode. The detector must operate at 100/115V (±10%) at 50/60 Hz, handle maximum inlet pressure of 15 mbar, achieve pumping speed of 30 m³/h at 60 Hz in pump-down mode, deliver helium pumping speed of 2.5 l/s in ULTRA mode, include a test leak TL7, and incorporate a dry backing pump. Calibration certification documenting traceability to SI standards and ILAC MRA accreditation is required. All deliveries must be made by U.S. citizens. The NAICS code is 334519, Other Measuring and Controlling Device Manufacturing; PSC is 6635, Physical Properties Testing and Inspection.

Award will be made to the lowest priced, technically acceptable proposal. Offer validity is 120 days. Offerors must submit a completed Abbreviated Representations and Certifications form (BSD-CS-2260, dated March 9, 2026), identify any exceptions to terms and conditions, and provide a delivery schedule. Commercial General Liability insurance of at least $2 million is required; cyber liability insurance of at least $2 million is required if services involve Personally Identifiable Information. Prime flowdown clauses and DOE directives apply to all subcontractors and suppliers. Contact Morgan Records, Procurement Officer, at recordsmt@ornl.gov with questions.
