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 Stub Tuner (Part 1 of this SOW), design of one (1) prototype Triple-Stub Tuner (Part 1 of this SOW), optional fabrication of one (1) prototype 50-ohm Stub Tuner (Part 2 of this SOW), optional fabrication of one (1) prototype Triple-Stub Tuner (Part 2 of this SOW), optional production of twenty-four (24) 50-ohm Stub Tuners (Part 3 of this SOW), and optional production of eight (8) Triple-Stub Tuners (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 Stub Tuner, a Design Package for the prototype Triple-Stub Tuner and concludes with a Design Review for the prototype 50-ohm Stub Tuner and a Design Review for the prototype Triple-Stub Tuner. Parts 2 and 3 of the procurement for prototypes fabrication and final production are optional activities and may be awarded at the Company’s discretion.
During operation, the 50-ohm Stub Tuners and Triple-Stub Tuners 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 Stub Tuners and Triple-Stub Tuners. 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 two (2) Design Packages presented at the Part 1 design review (Section 4.1.8). The Seller will also prepare and submit, as part of each Design Package, a Design Compliance Matrix (DCM) for the requirements in Technical Specification [1] for the prototype 50-ohm Stub Tuner, and a Design Compliance Matrix (DCM) for the requirements in Technical Specification [2] for the prototype Triple-Stub Tuner. The Design Compliance Matrix (DCM) of each Design Package will be the key
deliverable to be used by the Company for design evaluation and approval.
After Company approval of the two (2) Preliminary Design Packages 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 Stub Tuner and one (1) prototype Triple-Stub Tuner. Qualification and factory acceptance testing of the prototype units will be performed by the Seller. Once the prototypes pass these tests, they will be shipped to ORNL. After Company approval of the two (2) Final Design Packages proposed in Part 1, after successful qualification and acceptance testing of the prototype units, the Company may elect to have the Seller proceed to Part 3 for the manufacture, inspection, testing, packaging, and shipping of twenty-four (24) 50-ohm Stub Tuners and eight (8) Triple-Stub Tuners. Factory acceptance testing of the twenty-four (24) 50-ohm Stub Tuners and eight (8) Triple-Stub Tuners will be performed by the Seller. Once the twenty-four (24) 50-ohm Stub Tuners and eight (8) Triple-Stub Tuners pass these tests, they will be shipped to IO.
