About this opportunity
The Department of Energy Office of Science is seeking proposals to estimate the design and cost of setting up and operating a large-scale plant in the United States to produce lithium iron phosphate (LFP) and lithium iron manganese phosphate (LFMP) cathode materials. The objective is to provide estimates for three plant sizes: 40, 80, and 120 kiloton per year production capacity. The design estimates should include plant layout, flow diagrams, equipment details, operating conditions, yields, energy/utility requirements, and labor. The cost estimates should cover materials, capital equipment, construction, operations, and the overall product cost. The design should be for a highly efficient, automated plant to meet anticipated demand in 5 years. Proposals are due by April 22, 2024.
This procurement is not set aside for any specific business category. The relevant NAICS code is 325188 - All Other Basic Inorganic Chemical Manufacturing, and the PSC code is R&D- BASIC RESEARCH. The estimated construction price for the project is $1 Billion, and the period of performance is 6 months from the award date. The place of performance is Lemont, IL 60439, USA.
Notice text
The objective of this study is to estimate the design and cost of setting up and operating a large-scale plant in the United States to produce LFP and LFMP materials. Estimates for three plant sizes should be provided: 40, 80, and 120 kilo-tonne/yr. The plants should be capable of producing powders that incorporate state-of-the-art materials in anticipation of demand in ~5 years. The design and cost estimates will be incorporated into ongoing techno-economic analyses at Argonne National Laboratory.
