About this file
This is a Statement of Work (SOW) for the fabrication, assembly, and inspection of HBEND Axial Adjuster Magnet Assemblies for Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory's Advanced Light Source Upgrade Project (ALS-U). The work involves manufacturing four different types of permanent magnet assemblies, each composed of four axially magnetized permanent magnets bonded to precision-machined aluminum holder plates using epoxy. The subcontractor must perform primary permanent magnet manufacturing (pressing, sintering, machining, grinding, and magnetizing) in-house without subcontracting, and is required to demonstrate prior experience with grain boundary diffusion processes to enhance intrinsic coercivity and epoxy-bonded permanent magnet assemblies. Magnetic and dimensional measurements of the permanent magnets cannot be subcontracted and are subject to LBNL approval before final assembly begins.
Deliverables include four first-article assemblies (one of each type) due January 22, 2027, and 28 production units (seven of each type) due March 23, 2027. The subcontractor must establish a project manager as single point of contact, provide twice-monthly project meetings once production begins, submit monthly written schedule updates and status reports, allow LBNL site visits at LBNL's discretion, and maintain action item tracking. All documentation must be submitted in English through an LBNL Windchill project portal using editable Microsoft Office formats or PDF. Quality assurance includes deviation requests for process modifications and nonconformance reports for non-conforming products, with NCRs required within three business days of identification and no further work permitted on nonconforming items without LBNL written approval. Acceptance criteria are defined in document AL-1931-8010, and all shipping containers, packaging designs, and shipping plans require LBNL approval before use. Storage facilities must maintain temperatures between 5°C and 40°C with humidity below 85%.

1 INTRODUCTION
1.1 Project overview
Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL) is currently working to upgrade the
Advanced Light Source facility under the ALS Upgrade Project (ALS-U). As part of the project, high field permanent magnet (PM) based dipole bending magnets are being constructed, which require field adjustment capabilities. For this purpose, a motor drive system is used to position axial adjuster plate permanent magnet assemblies relative to the primary core magnets. The axial adjuster plate permanent magnet assemblies are the subject of this statement of work (SOW).
1.2 Description of items
Figure 1-1 shows one of the Axial Adjuster Plate Assemblies. There are a total of four different types of assemblies, with minor differences, to account for the four quadrants of the magnet. Each assembly is composed of a set of four axially magnetized permanent magnets that are bonded to a precision machined aluminum holder (adjuster plate) using epoxy.

All officially released LBNL documents are watermarked and contain LBNL Document subcontractor manufactured that do not conform to the specifications provided by LBNL;
see Section 6.1.2 for nonconformance reporting.
To submit a deviation request, the selected subcontractor must provide a written request that can only be implemented after review and approval by LBNL. If needed, LBNL can provide a deviation request form, or – with LBNL approval – the selected subcontractor can submit their own customary deviation request documentation.
6.1.2 Nonconformance reports
A nonconformance report (NCR) provides a written summary that describes how a particular product does not conform to defined specifications or how a procedure does not conform to defined requirements. A nonconformance may be determined and reported by either the selected subcontractor or LBNL.
Once a nonconformance is identified, an NCR must be submitted to LBNL within three business days. LBNL can provide an approved NCR form or review the selected subcontractor’s customary NCR documentation, which can only be used after LBNL approval.
LBNL will provide a written dispensation establishing a path forward for each nonconformance. However, once a nonconformance has been identified, no further operation may be performed on the nonconforming item without LBNL’s written approval to proceed. Additionally, if any process is found to produce nonconforming components, all work utilizing that process must immediately cease upon discovery until the process can be reviewed with input from LBNL. Leave to resume the process is at the discretion of LBNL.
6.2 Acceptance criteria
Items will be accepted upon receipt of:
1. All applicable certificates, product data, mechanical inspection reports, and test results as defined in the HBEND Axial Adjuster Magnet Assemblies Acceptance
Criteria List, AL-1931-8010;
2. All applicable nonconformance or deviation documentation, if any; and
In addition, upon delivery, LBNL will conduct receiving inspection and testing, including measurements, when needed, to verify the acceptance criteria list (ACL) items. In case an item does not meet acceptance criteria and the cause is traced to a non-conformance for which the selected subcontractor is responsible but remained undetected, the selected subcontractor is responsible for correcting the non-conformance. The following
Acceptance Criteria lists will be used for this scope.
