About this opportunity
The Department of Energy, through UT-Battelle, LLC's management of Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL), is requesting proposals for two telemanipulator test articles available in either a three-piece or one-piece design configuration. Offerors must meet comprehensive technical specifications detailed in the solicitation, including dimensional constraints, operational capabilities, material requirements (aluminum or stainless steel construction), load-bearing capacity, and motion control features, with all exposed components meeting DOE facility access standards requiring U.S. citizen delivery personnel. The evaluation will be conducted on a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) basis, with proposals assessed on two primary factors: the offeror's ability to provide requested services per the Statement of Work and technical specifications without exceptions, and the capability to meet the December 1, 2026 delivery deadline after receipt of order. All proposals must be submitted in U.S. dollars with pricing inclusive of lead time considerations. The proposal due date is April 23, 2026, with a 120-day offer validity period, and the Procurement Officer is Rachel Botes (botesre@ornl.gov, 865-341-4882).
This is not a small business set-aside procurement. UT-Battelle, LLC serves as the incumbent management and operations contractor for ORNL under the prime Department of Energy contract. The anticipated contract value and specific budget range are not disclosed in the solicitation notice. Two complete telemanipulator units are being procured, with delivery required by December 1, 2026, following a contract performance period from March 6, 2026 through December 1, 2026. Each unit must include three sets of tongs fabricated from varying materials (stainless steel, aluminum, and aluminum with replaceable rubber grips), meeting rigorous dimensional, operational, and quality assurance standards compliant with NQA-1 protocols. The work will be performed at Oak Ridge, Tennessee, with access to ORNL facilities required for technical drawings submission, factory acceptance testing, and on-site inspections by ORNL and U.S. DOE personnel.
