R -- ACCELERATOR PRODUCTION OF TRITIUM (APT) PROJECT SOL DE-RP04-96AL89607 DUE 030896 POC Eusebio M. Espinosa, Contracting Officer, (505) 845-5809. The U.S. Department of Energy, Albuquerque Operations Office (DOE-AL) requires broad spectrum engineering, management, and technical services in support of an accelerator and associated facilities necessary for tritium production. A Programmatic Environmental Impact Statement for Tritium Supply and Recycling, dated February 1995, is available in the Source Evaluation Board (SEB) Libraries. The Record of Decision is planned to occur in November 1995. The Secretary of Energy has announced on October 10, 1995, a preferred alternative with the Accelerator Production of Tritium (APT) as one part of a dual path strategy. This project involves accelerator engineering development, design, construction, and commissioning of a high energy linear proton accelerator system to produce tritium by 2011. A multi-laboratory team (Los Alamos, Brookhaven, Lawrence Livermore, and Sandia) has completed the preconceptual design. This design has been documented in a series of Topical Reports that are available in the SEB Libraries. The SEB Libraries are located at the Energy Training Center, 1401 Maxwell, Kirtland Air Force Base West, Albuquerque, New Mexico, and at the DOE Headquarters Forrestal Building in Washington, DC. Additionally, information is available via the Internet on the DOE-AL HomePage at HTTP://WWW.DOEAL.GOV:80/doe_al/mission/TRITIUM.HTM.. The DOE-AL plans to hold a Preprosal Conference on January 25, 1996, from 8:30am to 4:15pm, at the Technology Transfer Center - Auditorium Sandia National Laboratories, Building 825, Albuquerque, New Mexico. The assigned Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) Code for this requirement is 8711 with a corresponding size standard of $2.5M. Firms responding should indicate whether or not they are small business, small disadvantaged business, or 8(a) business in accordance with the referenced SIC Code. The DOE reserves the right to set this procurement aside for one of the above categories pending responses hereto. AL CONTROL NO. 96-09. (0019)
