Bi-2212 Superconducting Magnet Wire

The Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory is seeking a proposal for the supply of Bi-2212 superconducting magnet wire. The wire should have a bare wire diameter of 1.0 mm nominal, with an option of being further drawn to 0.8 mm, and should meet specific requirements such as powder composition, outer and inner sheath, HTS fill factor, and stacking design configuration. The laboratory intends to acquire two or three 10 kg billets of wire. • The proposal should include a technical volume that discusses how the offeror will fulfill the technical requirements and successfully perform the subcontract. • The proposal should include a business volume that includes a price proposal, a completed Representations and Certifications form, and other required enclosures. • The offeror should have a Quality Management System (QMS) or Quality Assurance (QA)/Quality Control (QC) Program that conforms to the basic tenets of the Quality Assurance Requirements Article of the Sample Subcontract. • The offeror should identify and provide resumes for key personnel who will perform work under the proposed subcontract. • The offeror should propose an acceptable lead time for delivery of the wire after the subcontract is awarded.
