PIP-II Gamma-T Power Supply Resonant Jump Capacitor

Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory, a civilian agency under the Department of Energy, is soliciting proposals for 10 custom resonant jump capacitors designed for the PIP-II Gamma-T Power Supply system. The capacitors must meet specification 9570-ES-3103 with precise electrical and mechanical requirements, including 210 mF capacitance, 1500 A peak current capability, 1.5 kV peak voltage, and an operating life of 10^9 discharge pulses or 195,000 hours. Proposals must include a formal quote on company letterhead, completed RFP form, completed SARC (Subcontractor Annual Representations & Certifications) form, and completed PUR-466 Proposal Certifications form. The government will evaluate proposals using a best value trade-off source selection method, with technical specifications weighted more heavily than price. The proposal deadline is 5 PM CST on January 6, 2026, and answers to questions may be posted during the proposal opening period, so vendors should monitor for any changes or clarifications.

This solicitation has no set-aside designation and does not identify any current incumbent contractors. No specific award value or budget range is disclosed in the solicitation materials. The work will be performed at Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory's facility in Batavia, Illinois 60510. The procurement falls under NAICS Category 335999 (All Other Miscellaneous Electrical Equipment and Component Manufacturing) and PSC Category 6150 (Miscellaneous Electric Power and Distribution Equipment). Subcontractors must comply with comprehensive federal regulations, including FAR and DEAR clauses, export control certifications, Buy American requirements, and various environmental, safety, and health standards as outlined in FFDG's General Terms and Conditions for Commercial Products and Services.
