Supercritcal Fluid Pump

The U.S. Department of Energy’s National Energy Technology Laboratory (NETL) plans to award a contract to Supercritical Fluid Technologies for the purchase of a Supercritical Fluid Pump designed to operate with multiple reactor vessels. This contract will be awarded through a non-competitive process under the authority of FAR 13.501, as it involves commercial supplies or services for which only one source is being solicited and negotiated. Although this notice is not a formal request for competitive proposals, the Government invites interested parties to express their interest and capabilities or submit proposals within twenty days from the publication date. The Government reserves the right to decide whether to proceed with a competitive procurement based on the responses received, but typically considers the information solely to determine competitiveness. The contract opportunity, identified under solicitation number DOE-SNOTE-070910-002, was posted on September 10, 2007. Detailed information regarding the type of contract, set-aside status, NAICS code, agency details, and specific place of performance were not provided. Interested entities are directed to review the posting on the official government contracting portal for additional details. The planned acquisition supports NETL’s operational requirements by securing a specialized piece of equipment critical to fluid processing systems.
