A -- MATERIALS FOR ULTRA SUPERCRITICAL STEAM CONDITIONS SOL 00PA04875 DUE 080700 POC Peter Schuster, Contracting Specialist, 304-285-4468 E-MAIL: Peter Schuster, Contracting Specialist, peter.schuster@netl.doe.gov. The U.S. Department of Energy's National Energy Technology Laboratory has a requirement to prepare an R&D plan to develop materials technology for an initial target 760C ultra supercritical fossil power plant with an eventual goal of 870C. The plan must identify the materials issues that need to be addressed in the program, and outline test programs needed to address these issues. This purchase is being issued to Electric Power Reseach Insitute (EPRI) because it is uniquely suited to plan and perform R&D on ultrasupercritical (USC) materials. EPRI has been a leader in materials R&D since the 1980's, managing and contributing technical expertise to the development of several of the steels that are critical to the operation of current USC boilers. This request is considered a sole source to Electric Power Research Insitute. Therefore, no solicitation will result from this announcement. Request for information should be addressed to Peter E. Schuster, MS I07, P.O. Box 880, and Morgantown, WV 26507-0880. Note 22 applies. Posted 07/28/00 (W-SN479882). (0210)
