Fit reasons
- NAICS alignment with historical contract wins in similar service areas.
- Scope strongly matches core technical capabilities and delivery model.
Risks
- Past performance thresholds may require one additional teaming partner.
- Potential clarification needed on staffing minimums before bid/no-bid.
Next steps
Validate eligibility requirements, assign capture owner, and schedule partner outreach to confirm teaming strategy before submission planning.
Quick Summary
Fermilab, a DOE contractor, is soliciting proposals for the procurement of two (2) undulator magnets for the Amplified Optical Stochastic Cooling (AOSC) Experiment. This is a firm-fixed price subcontract opportunity. Proposals are due by April 23, 2026, at 5pm Central.
Scope of Work
The requirement is for the design and fabrication of two identical electromagnetic undulators. These undulators must adhere to specific geometric parameters, magnetic characteristics, and performance properties, including end terminations to zero field integrals. Key performance standards include precise control over angular change (< 0.25 mrad), position offset (~20 µm), and minimal field deviations (< 0.001*B0). Delivery is required within 18 weeks (or sooner) after receipt of order to the Fermilab IOTA storage ring in Batavia, IL. Detailed specifications cover physical dimensions, magnetic properties (e.g., 2188 nm on-axis fundamental wavelength, 2.00 kG nominal on-axis field), yoke material (1006 steel), cooling (indirect water cooling preferred), power supply compatibility, physical structure, surface treatments, alignment features, and lifting fixtures. Comprehensive documentation of design and measurements is also required.
