High-Temperature Semi-Rigid Cable Assembly Manufacturing

The contract entails the manufacturing and quality assurance of 1,120 low-loss PTFE 141 semi-rigid cable assemblies featuring right-angle SMA connectors, designed to operate reliably at temperatures up to 200°C and capable of withstanding vacuum bake-out procedures. All components must meet stringent performance and durability standards under extreme thermal and environmental conditions, ensuring signal integrity and long-term functionality in demanding applications. The project requires full compliance with the technical specification ACL AL-1816-4231, which governs material selection, construction methods, and dimensional tolerances for these specialized cable assemblies. Each unit must undergo comprehensive testing to verify electrical performance, mechanical robustness, and thermal stability, with documentation to substantiate adherence to contractual requirements. The work must be performed under the oversight of the Department of Energy through its contractor, Berkeley National Laboratory, with performance occurring in Berkeley. The solicitation was posted on April 29, 2026, and responses are due no later than May 5, 2026, at 10:00 PM, with the contract classified as a subcontract under NAICS code 334418 for other electronic component manufacturing.
