Fermilab PIP-II Booster GMPS Girder Trimming Capacitors

Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory is seeking 100 custom Booster GMPS girder trimming capacitors for the PIP-II project. - Government buyer: Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory (Fermilab/FNAL), under the U.S. Department of Energy; managed by Fermi Forward Discovery Group, LLC (FFDG), Procurement Department. - Procurement: Design, manufacture, inspection, testing, documentation, packaging, and delivery of Booster GMPS girder trimming capacitors to Technical Specification ES282509 Rev. B (Specification 0323-ES-282509, Rev. B). - Quantities: 10 first-article capacitors and 90 production capacitors. Production shipment requires written approval of the first article. - Capacitor design: Each case has four capacitance values—22, 22, 65, and 108—with a common return and five isolated bushings. The specification summary states the values in µF, while the RFP summary states F; confirm the units with the buyer. Capacitance tolerance is ±5%. - Notable requirements: Radiation tolerance for a stated environment of 300 kRad/year and 10 MRad total dose; operating life exceeding 195,000 hours (10^10 cycles), with at least 95% survival and less than 2% capacitance change over lifetime; vendor testing, inspection, documentation, and shipment packaging. - OEMs and vendors: No capacitor manufacturer or vendor is named; the supplier is to provide the capacitors. - Schedule: No delivery schedule or contract performance term is stated. Offerors are to propose a manufacturing and delivery schedule; first-article inspection and testing is anticipated to take approximately 14 calendar days.

Description

Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory (Fermilab or FNAL), managed and operated by Fermi Forward Discovery Group, LLC (FFDG) under a prime contract with the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), is seeking to subcontract for work aligned with its mission objectives. The Proton Improvement Plan II (PIP-II) project is an essential upgrade to Fermilab’s accelerator complex to enable the world’s most intense high-energy beam of neutrinos for the international Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment at LBNF and a broad physics program, powering discoveries for many decades to come. In support of this project, FNAL requires the design, manufacture, testing, documentation, and delivery of Booster GMPS Power Supply Girder Trimming Capacitors in accordance with the requirements of this specification, as identified herein.
