Presolicitation Notice for Upper Wide-Angle Viewing System (UWAVS) In-Vessel Subsystem

Form / Attachment / Pricing Sheet

This document lists "Applicable Documents" which are mandatory and contractually binding for the supplier. It also lists "Reference Documents" which provide standards, rules, or other requirements that are selectively binding if cited in Applicable Documents or relevant for context. Finally, it lists "For-information Documents" for background, clarification, or guidance.

• Applicable Documents: Includes items such as "DRAFT_Statement of Work for Manufacture, Inspection, Test, and Delivery of the In-Vessel UWAVS Subsystem," "DRAFT_Technical Specification for 55.GA Components in the Port Plug," and various material specifications and CAD models.
• Reference Documents: Encompasses a wide range of ITER-specific handbooks (e.g., Vacuum Handbook, Dimensional Metrology Handbook), codes and standards (e.g., ASTM, AWS, DIN, EN, ISO, ASME), and procedures for manufacturing, quality assurance, and testing.
• For-information Documents: Includes ITER abbreviations, site master plan, coordinate systems, and specific assembly, testing, and commissioning plans.

This document is crucial for bidders as it defines the complete set of mandatory requirements, standards, and supporting documentation that must be adhered to for the opportunity. Understanding these documents is essential for accurate proposal preparation, technical compliance, and successful execution of the work.

Statement of Work (SOW) / Performance Work Statement (PWS)

This Statement of Work (SOW) specifies the manufacturing, procurement, and delivery of the UWAVS (Upper Wide Angle Viewing System) In-Vessel components for four upper ports (2, 8, 11, and 14) for the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER) project. It also covers assembly, testing, and documentation required to verify compliance with specifications.

• Manufacture and deliver UWAVS In-Vessel components, specifically the Front End Optical Modular System (FEOMS) subassemblies.

• Perform assembly and testing activities to verify compliance.

• Provide documentation related to Manufacturing Readiness Review (MRR), Factory Acceptance Testing (FAT), Delivery Readiness Review (DRR), and Site Acceptance.

• The UWAVS for Upper Port 17 is out of scope for this SOW.

• PPPL will provide raw material blocks of SS316L(N)-IG and in-vessel electrical connectors (LEVI connectors and MIC cables).

• The contract duration extends from award following the Final Design Review (FDR) to Site Acceptance and integration into the Diagnostic Shield Module (DSM).

• Deliverables and expected dates are detailed in Table 4, with milestones ranging from QA Plan (M0+6) to Contract Closeout (M0+173).

• Adherence to specific codes and standards (ASME, ITER Mechanical Components, EDH).

• Implementation of a Quality Assurance Program and detailed Inspection Plans.

• Compliance with regulatory requirements for pressure equipment (ESP/ESPN directives).

• Detailed requirements for manufacturing processes, materials, welding, coating, electrical components, and cooling systems.

• Rigorous testing, including Factory Acceptance Testing (FAT) and System Level Testing.

• Comprehensive documentation, including Process History, inspection reports, and non-conformance reports.

• Specific marking, labeling, cleaning, packaging, handling, storage, and transportation procedures.

• On-site support for integration and testing at the ITER facility.
