1 SCOPE
This Statement of Work (SOW) will be the basis for the procurement of production quantities of Niobium-Titanium (Nb-Ti) superconductor wire used to fabricate Direct Wind Coils for use in interaction region magnets at the Electron-Ion Collider (EIC) at Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL) managed by Brookhaven Science Associates (BSA). This document outlines the Contractor’s responsibilities and obligations necessary for completing the requirements as set forth herein. The total production quantity of wire will be 200,000 meters.
1.1 Background
The EIC Project will design, build, and install the accelerator hardware for a new electron storage ring, an electron injector, and modifications to the hadron ring required to produce an electron ion collider and infrastructure. It will include one interaction region, with an allowance for a second, and one detector. The facility is designed to meet requirements to ensure high reliability and availability for the user program.
The wire, as specified in this SOW, will be used to fabricate direct wind coils that will be used in the Interaction Region Magnets. Such cable, with its superconducting properties, is an essential element of the magnets for EIC.
2 APPLICABLE DOCUMENTS
In the event of a conflict between the Technical Documentation and this SOW, the Contractor shall immediately notify the BSA Contractual Representative in writing who shall in each instance determine which document takes precedence and advise the Contractor accordingly. Failure to notify BSA of a document conflict shall not relieve the Contractor’s responsibility to ensure full compliance with all requirements.
The following documents are an integral part of the SOW; the applicable revision level will be the latest that is in effect at the time of award:

The Contractor shall notify BSA of any condition found during the calibration, servicing or repair of measuring and test equipment that can affect the end item requirements.
4.6 Inspections and Test Requirements
Unless otherwise specified in the PO/Contract, the Contractor shall be responsible for the performance of all inspections and tests. The wire shall be tested by the Contractor at the Contractor’s facility, the Contractor’s subcontractor’s facility, or a pre-approved BSA collaborator prior to shipment, using an ATP (as noted in Section 3.2.4) generated by the Contractor and approved in writing by BSA. Except as otherwise specified in the PO/Contract, the Contractor shall utilize facilities suitable for the performance of the inspection and test requirements, specified herein, which are acceptable to BSA. BSA and/or their representative shall have the option to witness all the tests defined in this SOW.
BSA reserves the right to re-perform any of the inspections and/or tests set forth in this document or referenced specifications deemed necessary to assure that it conforms to prescribed requirements at no cost to the Contractor. Final acceptance of the wire shall take place following the successful completion of final inspection and testing at BNL. The time period for the final testing at BNL shall be within 90 days after receipt of the units at BNL.
4.7 Repairs
If failures occur during manufacturing or testing that affects form, fit, function, reliability, safety, or interchangeability the process shall stop and BSA shall be immediately notified. BSA at their discretion may ask for retesting, additional review and evaluation to determine root causes, analyses of failure modes(s) or proposals for repair. Proposals for repair shall include adequate information for evaluating the repair, testing the effectiveness of the repair, and methods to prevent damage to the existing work. No proposed repair shall be initiated without approval of BSA. No repair shall be considered successfully accomplished without inspection and written approval by BSA. All repairs shall be at the expense of the Contractor. In addition, the Contractor shall not use nonconforming materials via use-as-is disposition without written approval of BSA.
4.8 Failure Reporting, Analysis and Corrective Action
The Contractor shall maintain a failure reporting, analysis, and corrective action system which shall, as a minimum, evaluate, analyze, and correct failures occurring during end-item acceptance testing and inspection. The results of all failure evaluations and analyses shall be documented and available for review by the BSA Contractual Representative.
4.9 Special Processes
Processes (e.g., bonding, plating, chemical machining, chemical coating, chemical cleaning, precision cleaning, heat treating, or waste processing) that either cannot be verified non-destructively or require a unique (special) non-destructive test / inspection (e.g., radiographic inspection, ultrasonic testing) shall be performed in accordance with detailed written procedures.
These procedures shall specifically describe the exact manner in which the processes are to be performed. Additionally, the following requirements apply as selected:
• Copies of special process procedures shall be made available on request for review by the BSA Representative.
• At least sixty (60) calendar days prior to use on items deliverable to BSA, the Contractor shall submit to BSA copies of all applicable process procedures for review and approval.
Revisions or changes to BSA approved special process procedures must be submitted to BSA for review and approval prior to implementation.
