How to bid on ATR Loop Pressurizer fabrication for Battelle Energy Alliance
What Battelle Energy Alliance is seeking
Battelle Energy Alliance, LLC (BEA) is requesting Expressions of Interest from vendors able to fabricate, inspect, and test one nuclear-grade stainless steel ATR Loop pressurizer pressure vessel with support legs and appurtenances. The vessel must meet ASME code and specified nuclear quality requirements, and delivery is to WestOne Logistics in Idaho Falls, Idaho.
This is an RFI and an early market-research step, not a request for a final price or an award. BEA may use responses to develop a solicitation list, and selected vendors may be invited to a later RFP.
Key dates and what happens at the deadline
The opportunity was published October 26, 2026. The listed deadline is November 7, 2026, at 1:59 AM ET. The summary also says responses are due November 6, 2026; check the portal’s opportunity details and submission instructions to confirm the applicable deadline.
Submit the Expression of Interest by the confirmed deadline. This response may help BEA identify qualified vendors for a later RFP; it is not itself a bid for contract award.
Who this opportunity may suit
This opportunity is suited to pressure-vessel fabricators with demonstrated experience in nuclear-grade work, particularly ASME Section VIII, Division 2 vessels. Vendors should be able to describe their capability with the applicable ASME, AISC, and seismic-informed requirements and an NQA-1-equivalent quality program.
The requested work includes supplying materials, fabrication, inspection, physical testing, documentation, and delivery. The EOI asks vendors to identify applicable NAICS codes and business size classification.

Practical preparation for this EOI

Keep claims precise and support them with examples your company can substantiate.
