Description

The National Compact Stellerator Experiment (NCSX) Project, a Partnership with Oak Ridge National Laboratory and in collaboration with several U.S. Universities and fusion instutitions throughout the world is currently in the "Conceptual Design" stage of developing a new class of stellarators known as "Compact Stellarators." The NCSX is a part of the Princeton University Plasma Physics Laboratory (PPPL), a U.S. Department of Energy Prime Contractor. For the Compact Stellarator modular coil assembly a "draft" product Specification and Pro/Engineer model will soon available. PPPL desires to enter into one or more fixed-price Subcontracts with potential coil suppliers, experienced in building components similar in size and complexity to the NCSX coils, to prepare a "Manufacturing Study" addressing issues such as, manufacturing process recommendations, proposed design/specification changes, budgetary cost and schedule estimates for coil production and recommended R&D and prototyping activities. Those interested in receiving a copy of the RFP should transmit a written statements of interest, with a synopsis of qualifications, to the PPPL RFP Coordinator Larry L. Sutton by Monday 8 October 2001 by e-mail or telefax.
