Acid Distillation Unit Manufacturing

The contract calls for the design and manufacture of an integrated acid purification system featuring two independent sub-boiling quartz distillation units, specifically engineered to produce ultra-trace metal grade acids with stringent purity requirements. The system must meet exacting technical standards to ensure minimal metallic contamination, leveraging quartz construction and sub-boiling distillation technology to achieve the necessary level of purity for sensitive scientific and industrial applications. The work involves full lifecycle development, including engineering, fabrication, testing, and delivery of a turnkey solution, with all components selected and assembled to prevent cross-contamination and maintain process integrity. This subcontract is issued under the SBA set-aside program, targeting small business participation, and falls under NAICS code 333318 for other commercial and service industry machinery manufacturing. The National Energy Technology Lab, under the Department of Energy, is the contracting entity, and proposals must be submitted by the deadline of July 8, 2026. Performance location details are not specified, but the system is intended for use in high-purity chemical processing environments typical of federal research and energy-related facilities. The project demands precision engineering, compliance with federal procurement standards, and adherence to quality assurance protocols consistent with advanced materials and chemical processing requirements.
