Statement of Work for the X-ray Microscope Instrument
1. SCOPE
This Statement of Work (SOW) will be the basis for the procurement of a high-resolution X-ray Microscope (XRM), for the Center for Functional Nanomaterials (CFN) at Brookhaven National Laboratory. The XRM instrument shall be designed to study solid samples in transmission geometry under conditions of ambient or vacuum pressure. The photon energies should be sufficient to penetrate through multiple microns of material at an achievable resolution of
50-75nm.
This new procurement will enable the real-space spatial evaluation of various materials using photon energies above
4keV. The XRM instrument will enable evaluation of nanostructures, defects and grain-boundaries of nanoscale material with features from 50-200nm with an emphasis on enabling 3D characterization. The XRM instrument will allow for the integration of in-situ holders such as heating, biasing, and nanoindentation.
This document outlines the Contractor’s responsibilities and obligations necessary for completing the requirements as set forth herein.
1.1 Background
The CFN is a user-oriented research center whose mission is to be an open facility for the nanoscience research community and advance the science of nanomaterials that address the nations’ energy challenge.
Research at CFN focuses on the development of application of advanced techniques to understand structure-processing-property relationships in functional nanomaterials. New and unique capabilities would enrich for both internal research and our User program.

2.0 DEFINITIONS
2.1 The term Procurement documentation means the purchase order (PO), contract, subcontract, Request for Proposal (RFP), Request for Quotation (RFQ) or other written agreement with the Supplier
(seller) in which the requirements of BSA are incorporated.
2.2 The term Buyer means BSA operating Brookhaven National Laboratory, acting by and through its
Procurement & Property Management Division (PPM) issuing the PO/contract.
2.3 The term Supplier (seller) means the legal entity, which is the contracting party, with the Buyer with respect to the procurement documentation.
2.4 The term article or item means a product and/or a service.
3.0 GENERAL REQUIREMENTS
Unless otherwise specified in the procurement documentation, the following General Requirements apply:
3.1 Supplier’s Quality System and Quality Requirements
The Supplier must have and maintain an effective quality system that will, as a minimum, comply with all of the requirements as designated by the following:
3.1.2 A quality system that meets the requirements of the
ISO 9001 standard: “Quality Management Systems – Requirements” (latest revision as of the date of issuing the procurement documentation).
3.2 Assessment by Buyer
The Supplier’s quality system is subject to assessments by the Buyer’s Representative(s) for conformance with the requirements of the PO. Supplier or Distributor must allow BSA representatives, BSA customers, and regulatory agencies right of entry into the Supplier’s facilities to determine and verify product, processes, records, personnel, material, procedures, and systems.
3.3 Change Approval
No change(s) are permitted to be made to any Buyer requirements, (e.g. part number, model number, etc.)
without the prior written approval of the Buyer.
3.4 Responsibility for Subcontractors
It is the responsibility of the Supplier to impose applicable requirements from this document upon their subcontractors. Additionally, the Buyer reserves the right to disapprove, in writing, any subcontractor. For nuclear facility requirements per NQA-1, the Supplier must incorporate NQA-1 requirements in sub-tier procurement documents.
3.5 Responsibility for Conformance
The Supplier is responsible to provide items that conform to the requirements of the PO regardless of any assessments, surveillances, inspections and/or tests by the Buyer or its representatives at either the
Supplier’ or Buyer’s facility. The Buyer reserves the right to request failure analysis and corrective action for non-conforming articles or items submitted or supplied to the Buyer. The Supplier is responsible for notifying the Buyer of any recalls or alerts associated with this PO.
3.6 Protection of Material and Equipment
The Supplier must employ procedures that assure adequate protection of material and equipment during shipment and while in storage. Such protection must include special environmental packaging, as necessary. All items shipped (originally packaged or repackaged) to BNL or other locations cited in the
PO or contract, must comply with the requirements for preservation, packaging and marking as stated in the latest revision of ASTM Standard D 3951 Standard Practice for Commercial Packaging.
3.7 Measuring and Test Equipment (M&TE) Calibration
The Supplier must calibrate any M&TE used in the fulfillment of the PO requirements against certified standards that are traceable to the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), or some other recognized national or international standard, or physical constant. The Supplier must notify the Buyer of any condition found during the calibration, servicing or repair of measuring and test equipment that can affect the end item requirements.
3.8 Suspect Counterfeit Parts
• The Supplier must verify the procurement source and associated certifying paperwork.
• Appropriate incoming inspection test methods must be used to detect potential counterfeit parts and materials.
• The Supplier must flow this requirement down to all sub-tier suppliers to prevent the inadvertent use of counterfeit parts and materials.
