High Temperature Controlled Atmosphere Furnace Suite
Solicitation # N6893626Q5141
The Naval Air Warfare Center Weapons Division at China Lake, California, is conducting market research to identify capable vendors for a High Temperature, Controlled Atmosphere Furnace Suite to support the development and processing of metal and ceramic-based composite materials, particularly for additive manufacturing components such as hypersonic radomes, nozzles, and leading edges. The suite must consist of two furnace chambers—one capable of reaching 1300 degrees Celsius with an interior chamber size of 14.8 x 11.8 x 11.8 inches, and another capable of 2200 degrees Celsius with a 12 x 12 x 12 inch chamber—along with two vacuum systems, a combined chiller, and a unified cabinet structure featuring an active switching mechanism to direct operations between chambers. The system must include comprehensive technical documentation such as assembly drawings with utility callouts, installation and operation manuals, and a recommended layout plan. Delivery and installation are required on-site at China Lake, with FOB Destination terms, and the contractor must provide up to two days of training at their facility during a government site visit prior to shipment and up to three days of on-site training immediately after installation. The equipment must be completed and ready to ship within one year of order and deposit receipt, accompanied by a one-year warranty commencing at commissioning. Responses must be submitted by June 15, 2026, and are expected to include a capability statement detailing the firm’s experience, assets, and qualifications, with a demonstrated track record of at least ten years in designing, delivering, and supporting high-temperature, controlled-atmosphere laboratory furnaces. The furnace suite must meet electrical certification by a Nationally Recognized Testing Laboratory and incorporate design features to ensure safe operation within a confined facility, including routing of all utility lines—gas, vacuum, cooling water, compressed air, and electrical—through conduits or along structural elements to eliminate operator tripping hazards. A Cyber Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) Level 1 (FCI Self) is anticipated; contractors questioning this level must provide a rationale and recommended alternative. While this solicitation is strictly for market research and not a formal request for proposal, feedback on the draft Performance Work Statement is welcome and should be included in responses.
