WFE Solenoid/Corrector Magnet Spares

Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory, a Department of Energy facility, is soliciting proposals through managing entity Fermi Forward Discovery Group, LLC for two solenoid and corrector magnet packages under RFP 389116swk, with questions due November 30, 2026 and proposals due December 9, 2026 at 5:00 p.m. Central. No set-aside is used.

Delivery is to Fermilab's Receiving Warehouse 2 in Batavia, Illinois, on F.O.B. Fermilab terms with all freight included in the quotation. The procurement is firm-fixed price with Net 30 payment terms and runs under DOE prime contract DE-AC02-07CH11359. The source states no award value or ceiling.

The subcontractor must design, fabricate, and deliver two F00484505 Magnet Packages, each combining a solenoid with integrated horizontal and vertical dipole correctors. The solenoid must achieve 0.3 T2 m integrated field strength at 300 A peak, with maximum 6.5 kW power dissipation, 1% field homogeneity in the good field region, an 80 mm minimum inner diameter, and a 400 mm maximum outer diameter. The correctors must deliver 0.5 mT m field integral at 15 A with 5% field uniformity. The contract includes three design reviews, factory and site acceptance tests, and FFDG approval before production. The schedule spans approximately 40 weeks from receipt of order.

Evaluation is best value with trade-off, where non-cost factors are approximately equal to or significantly more important than cost. Factors are ranked: (1) technical proposal per the SOW, (2) price, (3) infrastructure capabilities including manufacturing, fabrication, magnetic testing, and quality assurance, (4) schedule with a Gantt chart, and (5) past experience with similar fabrication and quality control. Award is made without discussions.

Proposals must include the completed RFP page, SARC Form (Rev. 8), and PROC-FRM-466 Proposal Certifications. The FFDG General Terms and Conditions for Commercial Products and Commercial Services (10.2026) apply to any resulting subcontract. The NAICS code is 332999 and the PSC is 5945.
