About this opportunity
The Department of Energy is seeking a contractor to fabricate a Fine Radial Collimator (FRC) assembly for the Spallation Neutron Source at Oak Ridge National Laboratory. This procurement requires the production of a specialized two-piece neutron beam optics component with precise engineering specifications. The technical drawing (BL09-20-M8U-8709-A10000) details specific manufacturing requirements, including the use of isotopically-enriched boron 10 carbide powder and strict dimensional tolerances. Potential bidders must demonstrate the ability to create neutron-absorbing blades with 1.3-degree angular separation and construct the assembly using non-magnetic materials like aluminum, stainless steel, or titanium. The solicitation requires a comprehensive quality assurance program, detailed manufacturing plan, and full documentation, with the proposal due date set for May 26, 2025.
The contract is not set aside for any specific group and will be open to all qualified machine shops within the NAICS 332710 category. The place of performance is Oak Ridge, Tennessee, with the completed collimator assembly weighing approximately 329 pounds. The component is designed to operate in high vacuum environments with potential exposure to neutron and gamma fields and large magnetic fields. Vendors must be prepared to submit multiple documents for review and obtain final design package approval before fabrication. While specific award value is not explicitly stated, the technical complexity and specialized nature of the component suggest this is a high-precision, potentially high-value contract requiring advanced manufacturing capabilities and strict adherence to scientific instrument specifications.
