Description

The Department of Energy‑funded Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory is seeking a single, high‑performance pulse‑tube cryocooler assembly for its 3 MeV Project at the Illinois Accelerator Research Center.

Budget estimate

$100,000 – $250,000

The solicitation does not disclose a price, but a 5 W pulse‑tube cryocooler with compressor, control electronics, and custom integration typically ranges from $100 k to $250 k depending on vendor, performance margins, and freight. Assuming a mid‑range commercial unit, the contract value is likely in the low‑to‑mid $100 k range.
