About this opportunity
Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory, operating under the Department of Energy, is seeking proposals for the fabrication of a helium jacket assembly for a 145 MHz superconducting cavity. The procurement requires one complete helium vessel assembly constructed from 304L stainless steel, including a main vessel, two large top and bottom flanges, and two side port flanges, along with comprehensive technical documentation covering welder qualifications, quality assurance plans, material certifications, as-built drawings, non-conformance documentation, and acceptance test results. The contractor must demonstrate compliance with the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code and possess the capability to perform a helium leak check at 1.0 x 10-9 sccm He/sec. Proposals will be evaluated using a best value trade-off methodology, with evaluation criteria ranked in order of importance as follows: technical merit, past performance, cost, and delivery schedule. The deadline for proposal submission is January 16, 2026, at 5:00 p.m. CST, with bidders required to submit the RFP response, the Subcontractor Annual Representations and Certifications form, and the Proposal Certifications form.
This solicitation has no set-aside designation and there are no identified incumbent contractors in the documentation provided. The contract value has not been disclosed in the solicitation materials. The procurement requires delivery of the completed helium jacket assembly within 26 weeks from order receipt, with the deliverable to be transported to Fermilab Receiving Warehouse 2 in Batavia, Illinois on an F.O.B. Fermilab basis, with all freight charges included in the proposal. The work supports the development of next-generation particle accelerator technology and will be performed under Prime Contract No. DE-AC02-07CH11359 with the Department of Energy. The technical specifications are detailed in engineering drawings and a Statement of Work provided by Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory in collaboration with Argonne National Laboratory's Accelerator Development Group.
