Filtrine Chiller

Fermi Forward Discovery Group, LLC (FFDG) is seeking a firm fixed price proposal for a Filtrine PCP-750S-98A-SSD packaged process chiller on behalf of Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory (Fermilab), a Department of Energy facility. The specialized chiller must include a 7.5 HP semi-hermetic compressor with unloading capacity control, a 1.5 HP turbine pump capable of 12 GPM at 90 PSI, integral air-cooled condenser, PLC controller, and various technical features including a PRV bypass set for 100 PSI, automatic DI filter maintaining 0.25 micro-siemens, NEMA 4 enclosure, and dry contacts for alarms. The equipment must operate on 460/60/3 power with phase loss protection and include both a 5-year compressor warranty and one-year parts warranty. The solicitation will be awarded using a Best Technical Solutions source selection method to the responsible supplier offering the lowest evaluated price, with FFDG intending to award without discussions. Proposals are due by July 25, 2025, at 4:00 PM CT, and vendors must complete and submit SARC and PUR-466 certification forms along with their technical and pricing proposals.

This procurement does not utilize any set-aside designation and is open to all qualified contractors. No incumbent contractors or potential award values are specified in the solicitation documents. The procurement is for a single chiller unit that will be delivered FOB to Fermilab in Batavia, Illinois, specifically for installation in the PIP-II lower gallery, warmfront end of the facility, indicating a specialized scientific research application. Amendment No. 1, issued on July 22, 2025, clarifies that the procurement covers only the chiller equipment without installation services, as Fermilab will handle the startup process internally. The contract will incorporate FFDG's General Terms and Conditions for Commercial Products and Commercial Services (01.2025) and is being conducted under prime contract DE AC02 07CH11359 with the U.S. Department of Energy Office of Science.
