Insulating vacuum solenoid angle valves

Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory (Fermilab) is seeking firm-fixed price proposals for 24 Edwards Vacuum PV40EKA Solenoid Angle Valves to be used in the Superconducting Linac (SCL) insulating vacuum within the PIP-II accelerator. The Request for Proposal (RFP-369612-GMG) is being executed through Fermi Forward Discovery Group, LLC (FFDG) under the Department of Energy's prime contract. The valves must meet specific technical requirements, including vacuum right-angle configuration, solenoid/electromagnetic actuation, DN 40 ISO-KF flanges, aluminum body, and 110-127V single-phase power. The procurement will utilize a best value source selection method, with the intention to award to the lowest-priced technically acceptable offeror without discussions. Proposals are due by June 4, 2025, and vendors must submit a completed RFP page, SARC Form, and PUR-466 Form as part of their submission.

The contract is not set aside for any specific business category and will be open to all qualified manufacturers in the Industrial Valve Manufacturing sector. The valves will be procured at a quantity of 24 units, with delivery to Fermilab's Receiving Warehouse 2 located in Batavia, IL 60510. Upon delivery, the valves will undergo visual inspection and 10% leak checking to ensure compliance with specifications. While the exact award value is not explicitly stated, the procurement is part of the larger PIP-II accelerator project. The contract will be executed under the Department of Energy's prime contract DE AC02 07CH11359, with Fermi Forward Discovery Group managing the procurement process. Vendors will need to complete comprehensive representations and certifications, including export control declarations, business responsibility verification, and compliance with various federal acquisition regulations.
