Description
The Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory is seeking a qualified contractor to supply, install, commission, and provide full lifecycle support for two advanced metal laser powder‑bed‑fusion (L‑PBF) additive‑manufacturing systems for FY 27. One system is a medium‑scale dual‑laser unit (≈200‑300 mm × 300‑400 mm build volume) and the other is a large‑scale six‑laser tall‑build unit (≈400‑500 mm × 1600‑1800 mm build volume). The contractor must deliver complete hardware, software licenses, facility‑planning documentation, perform factory‑acceptance testing (FAT), site‑acceptance testing (SAT), and on‑site training, while meeting stringent NRTL certification, safety, and DOE security requirements.
• Provide two production‑capable metal L‑PBF systems (dual‑laser and six‑laser) with common OEM software and data‑export capability.
• Deliver extensive engineering documentation (facility‑planning, utilities, installation, as‑built, spare‑parts) and obtain NRTL certification.
• Complete FAT before shipment, install and commission the systems at ORNL, perform SAT, and conduct operator/maintenance training within tight post‑award milestones (pre‑award planning within 30‑60 days, installation within 60 days of delivery, SAT within 15 days of installation).
