- SUBJECT: NON-STIRRED PRESSURE VESSEL & HEATING SYSTEM. This is a combined synopsis/solicitation for commercial items prepared in accordance with the format in FAR Part 13, Simplified Acquisitions, as supplemented with additional information included in this notice. QUOTES ARE BEING REQUESTED. Responses shall reference Request for Quotations No. DE-RQ26-06NT00425 The U.S. Department of Energy, National Energy Technology Laboratory (NETL), Pittsburgh, PA (for delivery to the Albany Research Center, Albany, OR) intends to purchase the following: A non-stirred pressure vessel & heating system with the following requirements and specifications: Non-stirred pressure vessel & heating system with following requirements: 1. 1000 ml cylindrical pressure vessel capable of simultaneously sustaining an operating pressure of 34.5 MPa (5000 psig) and a temperature of 746C (1375F). Material of construction shall be Haynes 230 (UNS N06230), & certified for sustained operation with steam at 34.5 MPa and 746C. Internal dimensions of the vessel should be approximately 3" x 8", but the actual diameter & length can vary from those dimensions so long as the inner diameter is at least 2.5". The pressure vessel shall have a removable head capable of a gas-tight seal at the specified operating temperature & pressure. Pressure vessel head shall have two process penetrations: one thermal well and one for attachment of a rupture disk. 2. If the seal between the removable head & the body (described in #1) requires gaskets, supply 10 gaskets. 3. Floor stand for mounting vessel described in #1, with insulating gasket to prevent excessive heat transfer from the pressure vessel to the floor stand. 4. Heating mantle for precisely controlling the temperature of the interior of the pressure vessel, without overheating the exterior of the vessel. 5. Controller for the above heating mantle with RS-485 bi-directional communication. Capable of closed loop PID control with ramp & soak programmability. Non-latching over-temperature protection to be provided, with a programmable dead-band to prevent damage to the pressure vessel. Temperature sensing capability with types J and K thermocouples, as well as with 100 ohm RTD measurement. Temperature control should be accurate to within 5C, with a precision of 2.5 C. 6. Cables to connect controller (#5) to pressure vessel (#1) for sensing & heating mantle (#4) for control of heating. 7. ASME Code Stamp Division 1 required for #1 above. Certifications of chemical composition and heat treatments for all alloys used in the pressure vessel, head, closure bolts, etc., are required. 8. Rupture disk fitting and rupture disk installed on the pressure vessel head. Supply 10 rupture disks. 9. Both inlet and outlet process penetrations shall have attached to the exterior of the pressure vessel head, a 36" long, 1/4" tube made of Haynes 230 (UNS N06230) & designed for sustained operation with 34.5 MPa supercritical steam at 746 C. The free ends of the tubes shall have appropriate threaded fittings for mating with other equipment using tube fittings. 10. 18 week delivery upon receipt of order. DELIVERY: FOB Destination is required (all freight included). The provisions at 52.212-2 Evaluation ??? Commercial Items (JAN 1999) does not apply to this acquisition. Instead, the following information will be used for evaluation of offerors: An award shall be made to the responsible offeror submitting a technically acceptable quote and offering the lowest evaluated price. Evaluation is based on best value including cost and ability to meet stated requirements above. Offerors shall submit descriptive literature and drawings detailing features, technical capabilities and warranty data. Technical acceptability will be determined solely on the content and merit of the information submitted response to this provision as it compares to the minimum characteristics provided above. Therefore, it is essential that offerors provide sufficient technical literature, documentation, etc., in order for the Government evaluation team to make an adequate technical assessment of the quote as meeting technical acceptability. Price shall be the deciding factor among technically acceptable quotes. The North American Industry Classification (NIAC) is 334513. ALL INTERESTED PARTIES SHALL SUBMIT OFFERS WITH THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION: Federal Tax Identification (TIN); Dun & Bradstreet Number (DUNS); and remit to address if different. A Firm Fixed Priced Purchase Order shall be issued using the Simplified Acquisition Procedures FAR Part 13. Responses/offers are due no later than 5:30 p.m. Eastern Time Zone on May 19, 2006. Quotes may be faxed to Mr. Robert Mohn, at 412-386-5770 or E-mailed mohn@netl.doe.gov. All technical questions should be directed to the Technical Representative Mr. Gordon Holcomb at 541-967-5874.
