High-Temperature SMA Connector Supply

The contract pertains to the supply of right-angle SMA connectors engineered to operate reliably at temperatures up to 200°C and under vacuum conditions, specifically for use in RF cable assemblies within accelerator applications. These components must meet stringent performance standards to ensure signal integrity and mechanical durability in high-energy physics environments where thermal stability and vacuum compatibility are critical. The connectors are a specialized part of systems used in research facilities linked to the Department of Energy, requiring precision manufacturing and materials capable of withstanding extreme operational demands. The solicitation was posted on April 29, 2026, with a response deadline of May 5, 2026, at 10:00 PM. It is classified as a subcontract under NAICS code 334416, which covers the manufacturing of electronic connectors and accessories. The place of performance is identified as Berkeley, though no specific office address or point of contact is provided. The contract is issued by Berkeley National Laboratory, a Department of Energy contractor, indicating that the end use is for federally funded scientific infrastructure, likely tied to particle accelerator research. Suppliers must ensure their products comply with technical specifications for thermal and vacuum performance without formal set-aside provisions.
