WFE Solenoid/Corrector Magnet Spares

Fermilab, managed by the Fermi Forward Discovery Group, LLC for the U.S. Department of Energy, is soliciting proposals for the procurement of two solenoid magnets with integrated dipole correctors. This solicitation, number 389116swk, utilizes a best value trade-off source selection process where technical capabilities, infrastructure, and past experience are weighted as significantly more important than price. Proposals are due by 5pm Central on December 9, 2026, with a deadline for questions set for November 30, 2026. The selected subcontractor must provide a detailed Gantt chart, evidence of in-house manufacturing and magnetic testing capabilities, and a history of three similar contracts completed within the last five years. The scope of work requires strict adherence to ASME B31.3 welding and brazing standards and FNAL guidelines. Key deliverables include the hardware and associated material certifications for copper, epoxy, and steel. Acceptance is contingent upon Factory Acceptance Tests conducted at the subcontractor's facility, with specific requirements for field homogeneity and pressure testing. Shipping must be F.O.B. Fermilab in a single batch, utilizing crates equipped with irreversible shock indicators recording loads exceeding 10 G. All units must feature unique serial numbers and specific lead markings to ensure traceability and correct polarity.
