ECR2 Upgrade- Sextuple Plasma Chamber Tooling Assembly

The Department of Energy Office of Science is soliciting quotations for an ECR2 Upgrade Sextuple Plasma Chamber Tooling Assembly, specifically seeking one complete assembly detailed in drawing G14825-B28. The procurement involves fabricating a precision assembly comprising a bottom plate, assembly gauge bar, two assembly endplates, and socket head cap screws, all manufactured to exacting specifications with tolerances ranging from 0.005 to 0.1 inches. Potential vendors must provide a comprehensive quote that includes raw materials, assembly hardware, and precise measurements using the provided STP file for machine setup. The solicitation requires vendors to submit their quotations by 12:00 pm CDT on April 21, 2025, with all inquiries directed to Molly Murtaugh at mmurtaugh@anl.gov. While specific evaluation criteria are not explicitly detailed, the technical complexity and precision requirements suggest a focus on manufacturing capability, dimensional accuracy, and adherence to engineering specifications.

The solicitation is not designated with any specific set-aside classification, indicating open competition among qualified manufacturers. The place of performance is located in Lemont, IL 60439, and the project falls under the NAICS category 332312 for Fabricated Structural Metal Manufacturing and PSC category 3408 for Machining Centers and Way-Type Machines. The assembly, estimated to weigh approximately 13 pounds, will be constructed primarily from aluminum 6061-T6 and requires intricate machining processes, including potential Wire EDM for specific components. While no specific award value is disclosed, the technical complexity and specialized nature of the project suggest a sophisticated engineering procurement. The contract appears to be for a single unit of the tooling assembly, with potential for future follow-on work depending on project requirements and vendor performance.
