Fabricated Components for the SR Embedded Floor Plates for the ALS-U Project

The University of California, on behalf of the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL), is soliciting proposals under RFP AA-2027-02 for the fabrication and delivery of 96 embedded floor plates for the ALS-U Project. These components, consisting of 12 plates across eight design variants, serve as the structural interface and leveling surface for Storage Ring support plinths. This is a total small business set-aside procurement under NAICS code 332999, utilizing a firm fixed price contract structure. The award will be granted to the responsive, responsible offeror who is technically acceptable and provides the lowest evaluated price. Technical evaluation focuses on the ability to meet specifications, delivery schedules, manufacturing capacity—specifically the use of CMM or laser trackers for 100% inspection of all plates—and past performance within the last five years. Offerors must submit a technical volume, a business volume, a completed ALS-U Supplier Quality Evaluation Survey, and a representations and certifications form. Key compliance requirements include adherence to the Buy American Act and strict packaging and marking standards to ensure part traceability and cleanliness. Proposals are due by November 11, 2026, and must be submitted electronically to the University Procurement Representative.
