C -- ACCELERATOR PRODUCTION OF TRITIUM (APT) PROJECT POC Eusebio M. Espinosa, Contracting Officer, (505) 845-5809. The U.S. Department of Energy, Albuquerque Operations Office (DOE-AL) is seeking potential sources for 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 National Atomic Museum, 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 HTTP:\\WWW.DOEAL.GOV. The DOE-AL plans to release a Draft Request for Proposal (RFP) for industry comment and then a Final RFP after the first of the calendar year. A Technical Briefing and site visits related to the APT Project is planned prior to the release of the Final RFP and a Registration will be announced on Internet. Interested parties are advised to review the DOE-AL HomePage for further notices prior to the Draft RFP announcement. This synopsis is for information and planning purposes only, does not constitute a solicitation, and shall not be construed as a commitment by the Government. 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 eferenced SIC Code. The DOE reserves the right to set this procurement aside for one of the above categories pending responses hereto. AL CONTROL NO. 96-03. (0303)
