About this opportunity
The Department of Energy is seeking a qualified vendor to fabricate a complete Fine Radial Collimator (FRC) assembly for the Spallation Neutron Source at Oak Ridge National Laboratory. The solicitation requires precise manufacturing of a two-piece collimator with specific technical specifications, including neutron-absorbing blades with 1.3-degree angular separation and stretched-film foils coated with boron-10 carbide powder. Critical requirements include using non-magnetic materials, operating in a high vacuum environment (10-6 Torr), and withstanding magnetic fields up to 600 Gauss. Vendors must submit a detailed manufacturing plan, quality assurance program, dimensional inspection documentation, and a Certificate of Compliance before shipping. The proposal response is due by April 4, 2025, with the contract focusing on fabrication, inspection, packaging, and shipping of the collimator assembly.
The contract is not set aside for any specific business category and is open to machine shops and optical instrument manufacturers classified under NAICS 332710 and PSC 6650. The collimator assembly has specific dimensional constraints, including an inner radius of 16.5 inches, outer radius of 25.5 inches, and a blade vertical active area of 32 inches. The total assembly weighs 324 pounds and will be performed at Oak Ridge National Laboratory in Tennessee. The vendor must provide 24 additional blades and ensure the collimator can be mounted on an oscillation drive system. While no specific award value is disclosed, the technical complexity and precise manufacturing requirements suggest this is a high-value, specialized scientific equipment procurement for advanced neutron research infrastructure.
