Pfeiffer Turbo Vacuum Pumps

Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL), operated under the Department of Energy, is seeking competitive proposals for Pfeiffer Turbo Vacuum Pumps or domestic equivalents to support the ORNL Enrichment Science and Engineering Division. The procurement is structured as a firm fixed price subcontract under NAICS Code 333914 (Measuring, Dispensing, and Other Pumping Equipment Manufacturing) and will be awarded on a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) basis. The primary technical acceptability requirement mandates that vendors provide the parts specified in the Bill of Materials without exceptions, or submit equivalent brand name alternatives with full compliance documentation. Contractors must submit comprehensive proposal packages including price proposals, detailed documentation of any exceptions or non-compliance, proposal conditions and assumptions, and supplementary requirements; vendors with proposals exceeding $15,000 must also complete Representations and Certifications and potentially a Small Business Subcontracting Plan. The proposal due date is December 2, 2025, at 5:00 pm EST, with an offer validity period of 120 days, and all proposals must include company profile information and signing authority documentation.

This procurement does not utilize a small business set-aside designation. The Bill of Materials specifies procurement of Adixen Turbo Pumps (model ATH2804MT 250 ISO-F REMO-Alcatel), with sourcing documents indicating quantities ranging from 10 to 50 units depending on the specific attachment referenced. Payment terms are Net 30 for large businesses and Net 15 for small businesses, with all payments processed via electronic funds transfer. The place of performance is located in Oak Ridge, Tennessee 37830, and personnel accessing the ORNL site must obtain appropriate security badging through advance coordination with the Site Administrator. Contractors must comply with extensive supplemental flowdown requirements outlined in the Prime Supplemental Flowdown Document, including provisions covering cybersecurity, export control, labor standards, intellectual property rights, workplace safety, and other federal regulatory obligations specific to Department of Energy operations.
