PIP-II HB650 CM3 Magnetic Shield

Fermilab, acting through Fermi Forward Discovery Group, LLC under its U.S. Department of Energy prime contract, is soliciting proposals under solicitation number 384626-DSF for the fabrication, assembly, and delivery of PIP-II Magnetic Shield assemblies, specifically identified by part numbers such as F10196665, F10141950, and others, in strict compliance with the Statement of Work (SOW ED0047900) and associated technical drawings. The work requires manufacturing components to precise dimensional tolerances, achieving a magnetic permeability greater than 10,000 across the operational temperature range of 1.6K to 300K, and using materials verified by Certified Mill Test Reports. All components must be permanently etched with serial numbers in the format Part# Revision CM# Sequence#, packed in hard-side crates with shock and vibration protection, and handled with white cotton gloves to prevent contamination and preserve magnetic properties; no chemical preservation or MIL-STD labeling is required. Deliveries are due at Fermilab in Batavia, Illinois, on a schedule to be proposed by the vendor, with FOB Destination terms placing transportation risk and cost on the contractor until acceptance at the site. Evaluation is based on a best-value trade-off approach where technical merit and quality are significantly more important than cost, with no numerical scoring weights applied. Offerors must demonstrate technical capability through a detailed proposal covering materials, quality assurance, inspection planning, and manufacturing infrastructure, and provide documentation of at least three relevant projects completed within the past five years, including customer details, contract value, and dates. A Management Control Plan describing quality control, inspection procedures, and factory acceptance methods from prior similar work must also be submitted. Proposals must be split into two unbound parts: a Technical Proposal with no cost information and a separate Business/Cost/Price volume. The solicitation requires mandatory representations including SAM.gov UEI registration, compliance with cybersecurity and export controls under FAR 52.204-21 and 52.204-23, anti-trafficking standards, and environmental regulations; subcontractors must also follow personal identity verification protocols. There are no insurance requirements, and no options or indefinite-delivery provisions are included. Submissions must be emailed by 2:00 P.M. CDT on August 26, 2026, to [email hidden]
