About this opportunity
Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory, operating under the Department of Energy, is soliciting proposals for the procurement of 4 vacuum jacketed flex hoses (model VH-08B10-H08-H08-MP) to be used for liquid nitrogen transfer in experimental fixtures. The hoses must meet stringent technical specifications including a maximum allowable working pressure of 500 PSIG, temperature range of 77K-340K, and specific materials requirements including 321 SST hose material, 304 SST braid, and 316 SST fittings with 1/2" female VCR connections. Proposals must include completed RFP documentation, Subcontractor Annual Representations & Certifications (SARC) Form, and PUR-466 Proposal Certifications form addressing various compliance requirements including Buy American provisions, export control declarations, and anti-kickback procedures. The evaluation will follow a best value source selection process with award intended for the lowest-priced technically acceptable offeror without discussions. Proposals are due by 5:00 PM CST on July 15, 2025, with contractual questions directed to Patrick Tarpey at ptarpey@fnal.gov or 630-840-3640.
This solicitation does not utilize any set-aside designations and is open to all qualified vendors meeting the technical requirements. No current contractors or incumbents are identified in the solicitation documents. While specific award values are not disclosed, the procurement involves exactly 4 units of specialized vacuum jacketed hoses, each measuring 10 feet in length with precise fabrication requirements including helium leak testing to 1 x 10-9 std. cc/sec and heat leak specifications of ~1 BTU/hr/ft. The place of performance is Batavia, Illinois 60510, with delivery required F.O.B. to Fermilab Receiving Warehouse 2, meaning all freight charges must be included in vendor quotations. The contract includes a 1-year warranty from shipment and requires comprehensive documentation including material certifications, welding procedure specifications, and various quality assurance reports.
