Description: Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory (PPPL) seeks expressions of interest, technical comments, and non-binding budgetary cost estimates from firms interested in providing Industrial Manufacturing and Cost and Schedule Estimates for the ITER In-Vessel Coils (IVCs). (ITER is an international fusion research project located at Cadarache in Southern France.) These IVCs are being designed for ITER to provide control of Edge Localized Modes (ELMs), moderately unstable resistive wall modes (RWMs), and vertical stability of the plasma. The IVCs consist of (27) 3-turn picture frame type coils which serve the dual function of ELM and RWM control, and (2) 3-turn toroidal ring coils which provide vertical stabilization. All are mounted on the vacuum vessel wall behind the shield modules. Each of the ELM/RWM coils are supplied by an individual power supply at currents up to 20 kA; the two VS coils are connected in an anti-series and are interleaved with two power supplies which provide currents up to 80 kA. To provide the necessary radiation resistance, all of the coils utilize ceramic insulated copper conductor. The conductors are enclosed in stainless steel jackets for strength and to provide compatibility with ITER's vacuum requirements. Water is circulated between the conductors and the case to cool the conductors and to remove nuclear heat generated in the case. The coils are configured in sections joined by demountable jumpers to provided compatibility with ITER's remote handling requirements. The purpose of these estimates is to provide the ITER International Organization (IO) with industrial-based feedback on the design, reliability issues, manufacturability, and cost and schedule for production. The estimate scope of work includes: (1) A review of the manufacturability of the current design (areas of technical and manufacturing risk are to be highlighted); (2) Recommendations to improve the design, manufacturability and reduce technical risk; and (3) Development of detailed cost and schedule estimates for the "baseline" and, after mutual agreement to the details, the recommended improved design. PPPL expects to release a competitive solicitation for this requirement by January 20, 2009, with award of two or more subcontracts on or about February 1, 2009. The IVC design description, system requirements document (SRD) and draft cost estimate statement of work may be viewed and downloaded from the PPPL Procurement Opportunities website ( http://oorm-1.pppl.gov/public/procurement/ ), or from the links provided below. Firms interested in supplying this requirement are requested to provide written expressions of interest to PPPL. The response should include: complete contact information (firm name, address, representative name and telephone/fax/email); a statement of the firm's experience in conduct of similar detailed estimates, including customer names and dates of delivery; and a non-binding estimate of the cost to perform the requested scope of work. Responses may be sent by letter, fax or email to the address indicated below. This announcement is not a request for quotations or proposals, and firms will not be reimbursed for costs incurred to respond to this announcement.
