Please reach out to the Procurement Officer whose email address is shown above. Inform them of your interest in being placed on the bid list for this requirement. You may also send your capability statement, preferably one page.
This Statement of Work (SOW) applies to the design of one (1) prototype 50-ohm Matched Switch (Part 1 of this SOW), optional fabrication of one (1) prototype 50-ohm Matched Switch (Part 2 of this SOW), and optional production of four (4) 50-ohm Matched Switches (Part 3 of this SOW) for the ITER ICH&CD System. Part 1 of the procurement begins with preparation of a Design Package for the prototype 50-ohm Matched Switch, and concludes with a Design Review for the prototype 50-ohm Matched Switch. Parts 2 and 3 of the procurement for prototype fabrication and final production are optional activities and may be awarded at the Company’s discretion. During operation, the 50-ohm Matched Switches will operate as shown in Figure 1. An RF source that
can generate up to 6 MW of power in the operating frequency range (40-55 MHz) will drive the 50-ohm Matched Switches. Pulse lengths can be up to 3600 s. The Seller is expected to demonstrate that the proposed design will meet the technical requirements
through the Design Package presented at the Part 1 design review (Section 4.1.8). The Seller will also prepare and submit, as part of the Design Package, a Design Compliance Matrix (DCM) for the requirements in Technical Specification [1] for the prototype 50-ohm Matched Switch. The Design Compliance Matrix (DCM) will be the key deliverable to be used by the Company for design
evaluation and approval.
After Company approval of the Preliminary Design Package proposed in Part 1, the Company may elect to have the Seller proceed to Part 2 for the manufacture, inspection, testing, packaging, and shipping of one (1) prototype 50-ohm Matched Switch. Qualification and factory acceptance testing of the prototype unit will be performed by the Seller. Once the prototype passes these tests, it will be shipped to ORNL. After Company approval of the Final Design Package proposed in Part 1, after successful qualification and acceptance testing of the prototype unit, the Company may elect to have the Seller proceed to Part 3 for the manufacture, inspection, testing, packaging, and shipping of four (4) 50-ohm Matched Switches. Factory acceptance testing of the four (4) 50-ohm Matched Switches will be performed by the Seller. Once the four (4) 50-ohm Matched Switches pass these tests, they
will be shipped to IO.
For the prototype:
• The Seller is responsible for the shipment from the Seller’s facility to ORNL.
• The Seller is responsible for the selection of the transporter.
• The Seller is responsible for packaging and loading onto a transporter’s conveyance (e.g. truck, van, trailer, vessel, ocean container, air freight container, rail car).
For the production units:
• The Company is responsible for the shipment from the Seller’s facility to IO.
• The Company is responsible for the selection of the transporter.
• The Seller is responsible for packaging and loading onto the Company’s Logistics Service
Provider (LSP) conveyance (e.g. truck, van, trailer, vessel, ocean container, air freight container, rail car).
