Vacuum Chamber

The Department of Energy Office of Science is seeking fabrication, NEG (Non-Evaporable Getter) coating, and testing services for a vacuum chamber component through this solicitation. The procurement involves manufacturing a specialized vacuum chamber based on detailed technical drawings and specifications provided in the government files, which include precise dimensional requirements and engineering tolerances for the complex component. Contractors must provide comprehensive quotes that include lead times, pricing with freight charges, and their Unique Entity Identifier (UEI) number as part of their submission requirements. The solicitation is classified under NAICS code 333992 for Welding and Soldering Equipment Manufacturing and PSC code 6640 for Laboratory Equipment and Supplies, indicating the specialized nature of the scientific equipment being procured. Technical questions regarding the fabrication should be directed to Matthew Mahoney at mmahoney@bnl.gov, and responses are due by July 15, 2025, with the original posting date of June 3, 2025.

This opportunity does not include any set-aside designations and is open to all qualified contractors capable of meeting the technical specifications. No incumbent contractors or current service providers are identified in the solicitation materials, suggesting this may be a new requirement or open competition. The solicitation does not specify award values, budget ranges, or quantities, focusing instead on the technical requirements for the single vacuum chamber component detailed in the engineering drawings. The place of performance is specified as Upton, NY 11973, which corresponds to the location of Brookhaven National Laboratory, a Department of Energy research facility. The timeline for services appears to be dependent on contractor-proposed lead times, which must be included in the quote submission along with all associated costs and technical capabilities.
