Adjustable slit width via knife/spacer arrangement
o Width adjustment called out as required; Vendor proposed spacers between knives as the adjustment mechanism.
Independent drives/controls
o Cutter speed and winding speed independently controlled, each with its own motor, and adjustable feed rate (called out explicitly as a capability of the proposed configuration).
The Department of Energy, acting through its contractor ORNL UT-Battelle LLC, is seeking a carbon fiber cutting system or a domestic equivalent under solicitation number PR471273. This procurement is classified under NAICS 333248 All Other Industrial Machinery Manufacturing and PSC 2520 Vehicular Power Transmission Components, with no set-aside designation (NONE; NONE). Performance will take place in Tennessee, and the response deadline is June 2, 2026. The solicitation includes five attachments: a request for quote, terms and conditions, prime flowdown clauses, a bill of materials, and abbreviated representations and certifications.
The system must be custom-built to specific core specifications, including a 10-inch mother roll unwind core and a 3-inch product rewind core on a custom aluminum spool with notched ends. To ensure durability when cutting carbon fiber, the system must utilize tungsten carbide cutting edges or an equivalent durable material rather than standard tool steel, and the vendor is expected to maintain extra blade sets in stock. Requirements include a custom waste management approach where trimmed material is diverted to separate waste rolls rather than being wound with the finished product.
Operational capabilities for the machinery include an adjustable slit width achieved through a knife and spacer arrangement. The system must also feature independent drives and controls for the cutter and winding speeds, each powered by its own motor to allow for an adjustable feed rate. Brittanie Mack-Brewster is the point of contact for this combined synopsis/solicitation.
