Description

Attachments and amendments on SAM.gov (opens SAM.gov in a new tab)

This amendment is to address several requests for clarifications associated with our Technical Specifications.

Q1. Facility Access and Rigging: The specifications require installation at the R&D plateau on the NETL Pittsburgh site. Does the specific facility have a loading dock capable of receiving standard freight, and is there a clear, at-grade, or freight-elevator-accessible path to the final installation room with adequate door clearances for a 100 kW system?

A1: NETL has a clear path to the final installation area with adequate door clearances for a 100 kW system.

Show the full description

Q2. Utility Proximity: The furnace requires a 480-volt, three-phase, 60 Hz power supply supporting an overall power of at least 100 kW. Is the necessary hardwire drop or disconnect already existing within the immediate footprint of the intended installation area, or will the contractor be responsible for routing power from a distant sub-panel?

A2: NETL is responsible for installing all necessary hardwire drops or disconnects.

Q3. Gas Supply and Exhaust: The system requires a fueled incinerator torch to combust organic outgassing. Will the Government supply the necessary process and sweep gases (e.g, Argon, Nitrogen, Propane/Natural gas) via existing facility lines, and is there an existing facility exhaust or fume hood integration point for the torch output?

A3: NETL is responsible for installing all necessary gases, gas lines, and venting lines.

Q4. Lead Times and Compliance: Given that Brand Name or Equal highly customized vacuum furnaces built to NRTL, UL 508A, and NFPA 79 standards often have commercial lead times exceeding 6 to 9 months, will the anticipated RFQ allow for standard commercial lead times? Additionally, can you confirm if this procurement will be subject to the Trade Agreements Act (TAA) or strict Buy American Act (BAA) provisions?

A4: NETL will accept standard commercial lead times for this procurement. This procurement will be subject to the FAR 52.225-5 Trade Agreements Act (TAA).
