About this opportunity
Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory (Fermilab) is seeking proposals for the fabrication of a 3-cell Niobium Box Cavity for its quantum computing project. The solicitation requires demonstrated experience with fabricating superconducting niobium cavities and electron beam welding, with the agency reserving the right to reject proposals that do not adequately demonstrate the offeror's capabilities. The procurement is a best value source selection based on lowest price of technically acceptable offers, with an intent to award without discussions. Proposals are due by 5pm Central on March 9, 2025, with any questions required to be submitted by 5pm Central on March 4, 2025. All proposals exceeding $10,000 must include a SARC and PUR-466 document, and must adhere to the provided Procurement Specification ED0041324.
The contract opportunity is not set aside for any specific business category and will be performed in Batavia, IL. The solicitation covers the procurement of one F10239301 3Cell Cavity, with delivery terms specified as DAP Fermilab and all freight charges included. The cavity must be manufactured from Type 5 RRR grade niobium, with specific requirements for electron-beam welding, chemical etching, and ultra-high vacuum standards. Payment terms are Net 30, and the work falls under prime contract DE AC02 07CH11359 with the Department of Energy. The total assembly length is approximately 245.34mm, with individual cavity cell lengths of 60mm, and the fabricator must provide the required raw niobium and niobium-titanium materials as part of the contract requirements.
Notice text
Demonstrated experience with fabricating superconducting niobium cavities and electron beam welding strictly required. FFDG reserves the right to reject proposals that do not adequately demonstrate the offeror's ability and past experience with these activities.
Important information related to this RFP:
- A SARC and PUR-466 document are required for all proposals exceeding $10k USD
