A -- ELECTRICAL POWER AND DISTRIBUTION EQUIPMENT. FABRICATION OF ONE PROTOTYPE; TWENTY-TWO PRE-PRODUCTION; AND 234 PRODUCTION KLYSTRON HIGH VOLTAGE POWER SUPPLIES SOL 2031-RFP-0023 DUE 042098 POC Point of Contact: Frank Targhetta 505-661-4624. Contracting Officer: Frank Targhetta 505-661-4624. This procurement is in support of the U. S. Department of Energy's Accelerator Production of Tritium (APT) Project. This procurement is for the design, manufacture, test and delivery of a prototype High Voltage Power Supply. This procurement will contain options to acquire an additional 256 units over a period of 45 months. All power supplies have a nominal output voltage of 95 kV. The prototype power supply has a nominal output DC current rating of 17A, there is a pre-production run of 22 units, 4 of which are rated at 21ADC, and 18 of which are rated at 17 ADC, followed by a production run of 234 units all rated at 17ADC. The application is to provide DC power for CW klystron amplifiers. All power supplies may be rated at 21A if there is no significant cost penalty. Otherwise, commonality of components shall be maximized. A specification and statement of work has been prepared for each of two power supply technologies, either of which is considered acceptable for this application. These are: A conventional power supply consisting of an SCR controller followed by a transformer/rectifier; or an IGBT PWM power supply with the voltage division accomplished by multiple transformer secondary windings. These two power supply types are being tested and evaluated at Los Alamos National Laboratory, Los Alamos, New Mexico. Responses from proponents of alternate technologies will be considered provided the following requirements are satisfied: i. That all specified performance requirements are fully satisfied, and ii. The technology proposed can be shown to be applicable and represent a low-risk development. Offerors must show they have the technical, physical and financial resources available to successfully satisfy the contractual requirements and have sufficient experience with similar or related equipment to be considered a qualified supplier for this procurement.
