About this opportunity
Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory is seeking heaters for baking ultra-high vacuum (UHV) chambers as part of the MAGIS-100 experiment, currently in its Preliminary Design phase. The Request for Information (RFI) aims to conduct market research to understand vendor capabilities for meeting specific project requirements for these specialized heaters. Potential vendors are expected to submit comprehensive information about their technical capabilities, including lead times for heater delivery and budgetary pricing. All responses must be electronically submitted to Chris Rossman, Procurement Specialist IV, by March 19, 2025, at 4 p.m. CDT. The RFI is issued under Fermilab's Prime Contract No. 89243024CSC000002 with the Department of Energy, with anticipated equipment procurement scheduled for the end of 2025.
The procurement opportunity is not designated with any specific set-aside status and falls under the NAICS category 333414 for Heating Equipment Manufacturing. No incumbent contractors are specifically mentioned in the documentation. While exact award values are not disclosed, the RFI indicates the procurement is part of a larger experimental project with detailed technical requirements. The heaters will be used specifically for baking UHV vacuum chambers in the MAGIS-100 experiment, suggesting a specialized and potentially complex technical requirement. Respondents are advised that the RFI does not commit Fermilab or the U.S. Government to any costs associated with response preparation, and vendors are encouraged to identify any proprietary information they wish to keep confidential.
