About this opportunity
This pre-solicitation notice from the Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Science is a Request for Information (RFI) for the potential acquisition of an X-ray microscope system and sample preparation tool for the Center for Functional Nanomaterials (CFN) at Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL). The RFI seeks information from vendors on their capabilities to provide an X-ray microscope system with at least 50nm pixel resolution, able to image solid samples between 1-50mm in diameter, as well as a sample preparation tool to prepare samples for the microscope. The microscope should operate between 5-9keV X-ray energy and enable tomographic imaging of the samples in under 24 hours, while the sample preparation tool should be able to prepare samples with 10-50mm diameter and at least 5mm height, using methods like laser ablation or focused ion beam. Both the microscope and sample preparation tool should have computer control and software capabilities. Interested vendors are asked to provide a statement of capabilities and answer the questions in the RFI by the due date of October 30, 2024. This RFI is for information gathering purposes only and does not constitute a solicitation at this time.
There is no set-aside designation for this opportunity, and no incumbent or current contractor information is provided. The RFI does not specify any award values or budget ranges, but it indicates that the DOE Office of Science is seeking to survey available resources for this requirement at the CFN. The key numerical details include the required X-ray microscope specifications, sample size and preparation capabilities, and the timeline for tomographic imaging.
