Procurement, Configuration, and Delivery of High-Stability Unipolar Magnet Power Supply Systems

Amendment / Modification

This document is a DRAFT Purchase Order (PO) for "Procurement and Deployment of High-Stability Magnet Power Supply Systems for the Tandem Van der Graaff facility." It details various "Magnet Power System" designations (B, C, A, F, E, G, H) with specific output ratings, input power requirements, applications, stability requirements (<10 ppm), and configurations (turn-key, with interlocks, polarity inverters as applicable).

Key sections include:

• Scope of Work: Defines the procurement, configuration, and validation of high-stability unipolar magnet power supply systems.
• Deliverables: Lists specific magnet power system designations with their technical specifications and quantities.
• Integration and Testing: Outlines vendor responsibilities for factory configuration, validation testing, and interlock verification.
• Installation and Configuration Support: Details vendor support for verifying connections, interfaces, and calibration.
• Documentation and Support: Specifies required documentation such as manuals, wiring diagrams, and test results.
• Acceptance Criteria: Defines performance requirements including <10 ppm output stability, Ethernet control, and interlock functionality.

This appears to be an initial draft of a Purchase Order, not a modification to an existing one. The document references "Attachment 1, Statement of Work, REV 2, dated 03/06/2026" for the total amount description.

As this is a draft PO, there are no direct impacts on proposal deadlines or submission rules. However, it outlines the specific technical requirements and deliverables for potential vendors.

Questions & Answers / Clarifications

This document provides answers to vendor questions regarding the "PROCUREMENT, CONFIGURATION, AND DELIVERY OF HIGH-STABILITY UNIPOLAR MAGNET POWER SUPPLY SYSTEMS" opportunity, dated March 06, 2026.

• Designation H: It is confirmed that "H" was missing from the Draft PO and has been incorporated into Amendment 3.
• Critical Specifications: Parameters such as size and efficiency are not critical; only stability and output are considered critical as listed in the SOW.
• Polarity Inversion: For power supplies designated F (1) and H (2), an automatic polarity switching capability is required, allowing user-selectable positive or negative polarity configuration. The power supply should not transition between polarities during normal operation.
• Designation F: Designation F requires a polarity inverter as per the SOW, and this is included in the award system, despite potential truncation in descriptions.
• Designation H: Designation H includes a polarity inverter, as stated in SOW rev 1.

This Q&A document clarifies requirements and confirms updates made via Amendment 3, impacting the understanding of designations and specifications for the power supplies.
