High-Voltage Bidirectional DC Power Supply Manufacturing

The contract calls for the manufacture and delivery of a high-voltage bidirectional DC power source rated at 2000 volts, 180 amps, and 45 kilowatts, engineered with regenerative capabilities and high efficiency for use in research applications. The system must be capable of both sourcing and sinking power with precise control, supporting advanced testing and experimentation in energy storage, grid simulation, or electric vehicle component validation. Performance requirements emphasize reliability, thermal management, and minimal energy loss during operation, ensuring suitability for sensitive laboratory environments. The contract is a subcontract under the Department of Energy, managed by Argonne National Laboratory, with a fixed delivery location in Lemont, Illinois, ZIP code 60439. It was posted on July 22, 2026, and responses are due by July 24, 2026, indicating a very short turnaround window for proposal submission. The NAICS code 335313 classifies this as an electrical equipment manufacturing procurement, targeting specialized suppliers with demonstrated expertise in high-power electronics and regenerative power systems. No set-aside provisions are specified, leaving the opportunity open to all qualified vendors regardless of business size or status.
