Paragraph 1:

The Department of Energy, through its contractor Savannah River Nuclear Solutions, LLC (SRNS), is seeking expressions of interest from potential suppliers for the fabrication of an Electrolytic Dissolver Component. The scope of the requirement includes the design, fabrication, inspection, testing, documentation, and delivery of an Anode/Cathode Assembly to be mated to a Dissolver vessel. Key materials required include stainless steel, ceramic, niobium, gold, aluminum, and platinum, and the fabrication techniques involve welding, electroplating, cold rolling, annealing, and cleaning. Suppliers must provide evidence of their capability, qualifications, lead time, past performance, and quality assurance. Responses to this Request for Information (RFI) are due by 5:00 p.m. EST on June 20, 2024, and must be submitted via email to Barbara McCarty.

Paragraph 2:

This procurement does not have any set-aside designations. The RFI is being issued for market research purposes only and does not guarantee selection for a subsequent Request for Proposal (RFP). No information is provided about potential incumbents or current contractors. The RFI does not specify any award values or budget ranges, and the only numerical details provided are the overall dimensions of the Anode/Cathode Assembly, which are on the order of five to ten feet.
