Offline Dip-Coating System for Hollow Fibers

An offline dip-coating system is being sought to apply functional coatings with precise thickness and uniformity onto hollow fibers, synchronized precisely with the line speed of the fiber production process. The system must ensure consistent coating application without disrupting the continuous fiber flow, enabling high-quality surface modifications critical for advanced material performance. The technology must be capable of handling the unique challenges of hollow fiber substrates, including maintaining coating integrity across internal and external surfaces while accommodating varying diameters and flow rates. The opportunity is issued as a subcontract under the NAICS code 333291 and is managed by the Department of Energy through its contractor alliance for energy innovation. The place of performance is designated as Golden, Colorado, with a response deadline of August 27, 2026. The solicitation does not specify a set-aside type or point of contact, and interested parties are directed to the provided SAM.gov link for submission details. The project emphasizes innovation in manufacturing precision coating systems tailored for energy-related applications involving hollow fiber technologies.
