    Notice of Intent to Extend and Compete the Management and Operating Contract for the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory (FNAL)

    The Department of Energy (DOE) intends to award a one-year noncompetitive contract extension to Fermi Research Alliance, LLC (FRA) for the management and operation of Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory (FNAL). This extension is necessary to maintain an essential engineering, research, and development capability provided by FNAL. FNAL is a single-purpose laboratory that leads the nation in the construction and operation of world-leading accelerator and detector facilities for particle physics research. The primary mission of FNAL is to deliver breakthrough science and technology in the area of high energy particle physics.

    The current contract expires on December 31, 2023, and the extension will cover the period of January 1, 2024, through December 31, 2024. The purpose of this extension is to allow DOE sufficient time to conduct a full and open contract competition for the management and operation of FNAL. The contract competition is anticipated to commence during the first quarter of FY 2023.

    DOE aims to ensure transparency in the solicitation process and will issue a pre-solicitation notice subsequent to the competition kickoff. Interested sources will be invited to submit Expressions of Interest.

    Overall, this notice pertains to the extension and competition of the management and operating contract for the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory (FNAL), which is a leading facility for high energy particle physics research.
