The work is design, manufacture and delivery of two Sub-Harmonic Buncher pulsed solid-state high power amplifiers, one 125 MHz unit and one 500 MHz unit, for the Advanced Light Source LINAC at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory in Berkeley, California.
Proposals are due November 18, 2026 no later than 3 PM Pacific Time, with offeror questions due October 23, 2026.
The acquisition is for two 25 kW pulsed high-power solid-state amplifiers to drive the 125 MHz and 500 MHz sub-harmonic buncher cavities and replace the existing tube-based amplifiers.
The procurement is issued by the University of California operating Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory under Prime Contract No. DE-AC02-05CH11231 with the U.S. Government represented by the Department of Energy.
Written proposals must be submitted by email to the University Procurement Representative and remain valid for 60 days from the proposal due date.
The subcontract is expected to be performed over a period of 12 months covering design and fabrication and commissioning.
The maximum delivery time expected for both HPAs is 18 months after receipt of order.
The contract will be a firm fixed price contract in USD with percentage milestone payments through final written acceptance after successful Site Acceptance Testing.
Vendors must complete a witnessed 100-hour continuous heat-run at 25 kW pulsed output and Factory Acceptance Testing at the vendor factory.
Vendors must complete NRTL desk review and field evaluations, California licensed engineer structural and seismic certification, air-freight shipment to Berkeley, installation guidance and Site Acceptance Testing.
The acquisition is classified under NAICS 334220 for Radio and Television Broadcasting and Wireless Communications Equipment Manufacturing.
