Evac Flanges

Oak Ridge National Laboratory's Fusion Energy Division is procuring specialized vacuum components including gaskets, flanges, and chain clamps through the Department of Energy. The solicitation seeks firm fixed price quotes for seven line items of CeFiX gaskets, blank flanges, CeFiX-flanges in stainless steel, and chain clamps in NW 80 and NW 160 sizes, with Pfeiffer Vacuum specified as the manufacturer or domestic equivalent. Contractors must comply with comprehensive terms including export control regulations, employee citizenship requirements for delivery drivers, and extensive Federal Acquisition Regulation clauses covering equal opportunity, anti-trafficking, and professional reporting standards. The award will be made to the lowest priced, technically acceptable proposal, with vendors required to submit completed representations and certifications forms. Critical deadlines include questions due by September 12, 2025, and proposals due by September 17, 2025 at 5:00 PM EST, with offers remaining valid for 120 days.

This procurement is not designated as a small business set-aside and falls under NAICS code 339991 for gasket, packing, and sealing device manufacturing. No incumbent contractors are identified in the solicitation documents, and no specific contract value or budget range is disclosed. The quantities requested are relatively small, ranging from 1 to 6 units per line item across the seven different vacuum components specified in the bill of materials. Performance will occur in Oak Ridge, Tennessee, with the anticipated period covering material delivery only rather than ongoing services. Vendors must provide unit pricing, total pricing, country of origin, and lead time information for each requested component as part of their technical and price proposals.
