Non Evaporable Getter (NEG) Pumps

The State of Washington, specifically Whitman County, is procuring five (5) Non Evaporable Getter (NEG) Ultra High Vacuum (UHV) pumps. The pumps must be compatible with the Argonne National Lab's Personal Safety System (PSS) hardware and either the Gamma Vacuum NEG Cartridge, PN 200NP or the Saes High Vacuum model CAPACITorr D200, with a pump rate of 200 l/s and a 2.75" flange size. No power supply or cables are needed. The vendor selection will be based on meeting the stated specifications and compatibility requirements, as well as the lead time, with no alternatives or substitutions accepted. Responses are due by September 18, 2024 at 4:00 PM PST and can be submitted via email. Washington State University (WSU) is issuing the Request for Prices (RFP) on behalf of the state agency and encourages responses from Washington certified Minority and Women-Owned Business Enterprises (MWBE).

WSU is a tax-exempt organization, and the pricing terms require vendors to provide the estimated lead time, shipping cost, and contact information. The contract opportunity does not provide any details on the award value or budget range. The RFP includes WSU's General Terms and Conditions, and the apparent successful vendor will need to complete a Certifications and Assurances form prior to contract award, which includes certifications related to wage law compliance.
