AI Contract Overview
The United States ITER Project Office (USIPO), through Oak Ridge National Laboratory, is seeking expressions of interest for the qualification, commercial-grade dedication, and potential supply of pneumatic components for vacuum auxiliary systems. The scope of work focuses on ensuring that commercially sourced hardware meets stringent nuclear safety requirements for the ITER project, specifically for components classified as Protection Important Components (PIC/SIC-1) used in the confinement of radioactive products. The anticipated procurement includes approximately 250 pneumatically actuated 3/2-way valve manifolds, 90 air pressure regulators, and 160 pressure relief valves. An optional task may be included for the procurement of dedicated hardware directly from original equipment manufacturers. Qualified suppliers must demonstrate experience in highly regulated industries and the capability to implement a nuclear qualification program and commercial-grade dedication process using EPRI acceptance principles. Key deliverables include project management plans, quality plans, qualification reports, and complete commercial dedication dossiers.

All work must comply with ITER technical specifications and the French Order of 7 February 2012. Interested firms must submit a company overview and technical capabilities to the procurement officer by the specified deadline.
