Custom Electrochemical Cell Design and Fabrication

A subcontract has been issued for the precision design and fabrication of custom electrochemical cells engineered to operate under in-situ X-ray analysis conditions, requiring precise control of liquid and gas environments alongside stable electrical inputs. The cells must be engineered to withstand rigorous experimental conditions while maintaining compatibility with synchrotron-based X-ray techniques, ensuring high-resolution data collection during electrochemical processes. The scope demands advanced materials selection, microfabrication techniques, and sealing technologies to prevent contamination and leakage under operational pressures and corrosive media. The contract is tied to the Department of Energy through its contractor, Argonne National Laboratory, with performance expected to occur in Lemont, Illinois, at 60439. Submissions are due by August 14, 2026, with the opportunity posted on August 3, 2026. The NAICS code 332721 identifies the work within precision manufacturing for industrial instruments or control devices, indicating a specialized fabrication focus. This engagement is not set aside for any specific small business category and is part of a broader effort to enable cutting-edge materials characterization under realistic chemical and electrical environments.
