Description

This solicitation seeks a qualified vendor to supply high‑purity RRR300 niobium sheets, rods, and disks for use in superconducting RF cavity fabrication at Fermilab. The contractor must meet stringent material‑quality specifications, perform or provide certified RRR testing, ensure proper marking, packaging, and traceability, and deliver the items FOB‑Fermilab. The effort includes compliance with numerous DOE/Fermilab technical standards and the requirement to provide a free verification sample for independent testing. • Supply niobium components (48 distinct part types) meeting RRR ≥ 300 and ASTM‑B‑393‑type specifications. • Provide complete test data (chemical composition, RRR, tensile, hardness, grain‑size) and maintain QA documentation for each lot. • Package and ship items to Fermilab Receiving Warehouse 2, Batavia, IL, with all freight costs included; allow FFDG inspection and possible re‑work.

Budget estimate

$500,000 – $2,000,000

No contract value is disclosed, but high‑purity niobium (RRR ≥ 300) typically commands $150‑$300 per kilogram. Assuming a total material volume of roughly 5‑15 metric tons across all items, the contract could range from $750,000 up to $4,500,000. Considering testing, documentation, and logistics overhead, a realistic award value likely falls between $500,000 and $2,000,000.
