Custom R&D Industrial Furnace

Solicitation # 7-S176-Q-00012-00

Argonne National Laboratory (ANL) is soliciting firm fixed price proposals for the design, fabrication, delivery, installation, and commissioning of a custom industrial R&D box furnace. The system will be used to test fuel-flexible burner technologies utilizing natural gas and hydrogen blends ranging from 0 to 100 percent hydrogen. The project includes the delivery of a complete furnace system with an adaptable burner bung, refractory insulation, and optical ports, as well as comprehensive design and commissioning documentation. Performance will be verified through a two-hour commissioning test at a firing rate not exceeding 5 MMBtu/hr, with a strict requirement that the exterior shell temperature remains below 176 degrees Fahrenheit. The contract will be awarded on a best-value tradeoff basis, prioritizing the technical proposal over price and business management. Technical evaluations will focus on the offeror's technical approach, environment safety and health compliance, quality assurance programs, and past performance in similar R&D or industrial environments. Proposals must be submitted in three separate volumes—Technical, Business/Management, and Price—by December 1, 2026. The anticipated period of performance is approximately six months, with a target completion date of June 2027. Work involves off-site fabrication and on-site installation at the Lemont, Illinois facility. Due to the high-risk nature of the on-site work, contractors must adhere to strict safety protocols, provide specific insurance certifications naming UChicago Argonne, LLC and the US Government as additional insureds, and comply with Buy American requirements, which mandate 65 percent domestic content for items delivered through 2028.
