Request for Information - PR469524 - High Voltage Cabinet

UT-Battelle, LLC, acting as the Management and Operations contractor for Oak Ridge National Laboratory under the U.S. Department of Energy, has issued a Request for Information (PR469524) to gather industry input for the fabrication and delivery of a High Voltage Cabinet essential to a DOE-funded project. The cabinet will consist of two modular units—an Ion Source Cabinet at ground potential and a High Voltage Platform capable of sustaining 50–60 kVDC isolation—housing AC power distribution, control electronics, chilled water systems, pneumatic components, and toxic gas handling mechanisms. The requirement is strictly for fabrication based on pre-existing design drawings, solid models, and technical specifications; no design development is expected. The place of performance and delivery is Oak Ridge, Tennessee, with an anticipated delivery date of June 2027, following a future Request for Proposal expected to be released in May 2026. Submissions are due by May 27, 2026, and must include a four-page technical narrative outlining company capabilities, production capacity, project experience, and timeline. The technical requirements mandate strict compliance with multiple commercial and industrial standards: all electrical panels must meet UL508A Edition 3 and carry NRTL certification, internal wiring must adhere to IPC/WHMA-A-620 and the National Electrical Code, stainless steel welding must conform to AWS D1.6/D1.6M-2017, and tubing fabrication must satisfy ASME B31.3-2020. Labeling must display voltage ratings of 480V, 208V, 120V, and 24VDC with proper identification. Offerors must demonstrate proven experience with high-voltage cabinet fabrication, integration of hazardous systems, and handling of export-controlled information under DOE and Department of Commerce regulations. While the procurement is not set aside for any socioeconomic category and no formal contract clauses exist in this RFI stage, the eventual award is expected to be a single, competitive fixed-price contract based on technical acceptability and price competitiveness. The vendor will be expected to complete fabrication, testing, and delivery for final government acceptance at ORNL, with no formal packaging, preservation, marking, or invoicing details defined at this time.
