Precision Mechanical Assembly and Integration

The contract pertains to the final precision mechanical assembly, alignment, and integration of all subsystems into a vacuum-compatible, synchrotron-ready unit, requiring highly specialized technical expertise to ensure operational integrity under extreme experimental conditions. The work must be executed to exacting standards suitable for use in a synchrotron facility, with all components meeting stringent vacuum requirements and alignment tolerances critical for high-energy physics and materials science applications. The deliverable is a fully integrated system ready for deployment in a research environment, with quality control and validation procedures integral to the process. This subcontract, posted by Argonne National Laboratory as a Department of Energy contractor, has a response deadline of August 14, 2026, and is classified under NAICS code 332721 for machine shop and precision machining services. Performance of the work is required at Lemont, Illinois, with a zip code of 60439, placing it directly at the site of the synchrotron facility. The contract was posted on August 3, 2026, indicating a narrow timeline for qualified vendors to prepare and submit proposals. No set-aside provisions or organizational type restrictions are specified, leaving the opportunity open to any eligible subcontractor capable of meeting the technical demands of the project.
