About this opportunity
The National Laboratory of the Rockies, operating under the Department of Energy Office of Science, is seeking quotes for the procurement of an Environmental Chamber for Large Component Reliability Testing Level 2, designed specifically for testing large-format photovoltaic modules and other comparable equipment. The chamber must meet rigorous technical specifications including temperature control from -40°C to 85°C within 75 minutes, humidity control from 10-95% relative humidity, and temperature uniformity within 2°C across test articles. Offerors must demonstrate successful manufacture, delivery, and installation of a minimum of five comparable units within the past five years for research laboratories, universities, or equivalent institutions, and must provide written warranties with coverage and guaranteed on-site service response times for a minimum of seven years post-delivery. The contract will be awarded on a lowest price, technically acceptable basis to a single vendor under a firm fixed-price purchase order. The solicitation deadline for proposals is April 15, 2026, at 5:00 PM Mountain Time, with technical questions required to be submitted by April 1, 2026.
This solicitation carries no set-aside designations and represents a competitive procurement with no identified incumbent contractor. The anticipated contract value is not specified in the available documentation, though the procurement is for a single unit with a nine-month lead time and expected delivery date of December 4, 2026. The equipment must be capable of accommodating test articles up to 1.5 meters by 3 meters by 5 centimeters, holding up to 8 full-size solar panels with associated racking, and must operate within strict facility constraints including an 8-foot-wide by 10-foot-tall loading dock entrance and a maximum power consumption of 160 kilowatts. The equipment will be installed at the National Laboratory of the Rockies facility located at 15013 Denver West Parkway in Golden, Colorado, with specific requirements for spatial configuration, egress pathways, and cooling water specifications. The NAICS code applicable to this procurement is 334519 (Other Measuring and Controlling Device Manufacturing) with a size standard of 600 employees.
