Vacuum Valves

The Department of Energy's Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory is soliciting proposals for vacuum valves through Request for Proposal (RFP) 375007. This procurement falls under the Machine Shops NAICS category (332710) and the General Science & Technology Research & Development Services PSC classification. The solicitation was originally posted on April 3, 2026, with an initial response deadline; however, Amendment One extended the RFP due date to April 27, 2026, providing interested contractors with additional time to prepare and submit their proposals. While the specific technical requirements, evaluation criteria, and detailed contract specifications are contained within the RFP documentation, the notice indicates this is a competitive procurement without any set-aside designations. Contractors should ensure they have adequate capacity to manufacture or supply vacuum valves meeting the government's specifications and be prepared to meet all compliance requirements established by the Department of Energy.

The contract performance will take place in Batavia, Illinois 60510, where the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory is located. This is a non-set-aside procurement, meaning all qualified contractors regardless of business size or ownership status are eligible to compete. The solicitation notice does not disclose the estimated contract award value, budget range, or specific quantity of vacuum valves required, as these details would be contained in the full RFP documentation. Interested vendors should access the complete RFP 375007 documentation to obtain information regarding pricing instructions, delivery schedules, quality assurance requirements, and other substantive contractual terms. With the extended deadline of April 27, 2026, potential bidders should begin their proposal preparation immediately to allow sufficient time for thorough review of all requirements and compilation of a competitive response.
