Supply of Stainless Steel Tubular Reactor Vessels

Ames Laboratory, a Department of Energy contractor, is seeking a subcontractor to manufacture and supply precision stainless steel tubular reactor vessels for use in catalytic testing applications. The vessels must adhere to stringent dimensional tolerances and material standards to ensure consistent performance under high-temperature and high-pressure conditions. All components must be fabricated from specified grades of stainless steel and undergo rigorous quality control checks to meet exacting technical requirements for purity, surface finish, and structural integrity. The solicitation was posted on July 20, 2026, with a strict response deadline of July 23, 2026, at 9:00 PM Eastern Time, leaving a narrow window for qualified suppliers to submit proposals. TheNAICS code 332999 indicates the work falls under other fabricated metal product manufacturing, and the place of performance is designated with a zip code of 50011, aligning with the Ames Laboratory’s facilities in Iowa. The contract type is a subcontract, meaning the successful vendor will be working under the prime contractor’s existing obligations to the Department of Energy, and no set-aside provisions are in place, leaving the opportunity open to all eligible manufacturers.
