Automated Fiber Pulling & Winding System

The contract is for the supply of an advanced automated fiber pulling and winding system designed specifically for the production of hollow fibers, with operational speed requirements between 2 and 35 meters per minute and stringent demands for tension and alignment precision. The system must ensure consistent quality and dimensional accuracy throughout the fiber manufacturing process, enabling high-efficiency output suitable for energy innovation applications. The equipment will be delivered to a performance location in Golden, Colorado, with a zip code of 80401, and is scoped under NAICS code 333248, which classifies it within the industrial machinery manufacturing sector. This is a subcontract opportunity posted by the Department of Energy through its LLC - DOE Contractor Alliance for Energy Innovation, with responses due by August 27, 2026. While no set-aside provisions or specific organizational requirements are indicated, the procurement is targeted at suppliers capable of delivering highly engineered, precision automation systems tailored to advanced material manufacturing. The contract emphasizes technical performance over commercial procurement, requiring deep expertise in fiber optics, tension control mechanics, and synchronized industrial automation. Interested parties must submit proposals prior to the deadline through the official SAM.gov portal linked in the solicitation.
