About this opportunity
Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL), operating under the Department of Energy, is soliciting quotations for flexible LMR-195 coaxial cable assemblies to support the Advanced Light Source Upgrade (ALS-U) project through Request for Quote (RFQ) No. AA-2026-05. The procurement requires LMR-195-FR fire-rated cables with SMA Male connectors in four color-coded variants (Blue, Red, Green, White) across multiple specified lengths. Key contract requirements include recent direct experience performing similar work, technical and manufacturing capability per the Statement of Work (SOW), compliance with the sample subcontract terms, submission of a Past Performance Reference Information Form regardless of quote value, and submission of Representations and Certifications if the total quote exceeds $150,000. The evaluation will be based on firm fixed pricing with consideration given to small business status, export control classifications, sustainability compliance, and the offeror's ability to meet rigorous acceptance criteria including visual inspection, Time Domain Reflectometry (TDR) length verification, Vector Network Analyzer (VNA) S21 coefficient measurement, and connector quality verification. The original response deadline of April 23, 2026, was extended to April 30, 2026, with amendments adding clarifying Question and Answer documents released on April 15 and April 16, 2026.
This procurement carries no set-aside designation and no incumbent contractor is identified. The contract involves procurement of approximately 1,068 cable assemblies structured in two delivery batches: an initial first article batch of 84 units (60 units of 2.0-foot length, 16 units of 2.5-foot length, and 8 units of 3.5-foot length) due within 8 weeks of award, followed by a production batch of 984 units with variable lengths ranging from 1.5 to 4.0 feet, deliverable within 8 weeks after LBNL approval of the first article. A 12-week hold point occurs between batches to allow LBNL installation and inspection testing, with written approval required before production commences. No specific award value is stated in the solicitation materials. Performance of work will take place at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory in Berkeley, California (Building 69, One Cyclotron Road, Berkeley, CA 94720), with all quotations submitted via email to Arielle Anoop (AAnoop@lbl.gov), the University Procurement Representative.
