About this opportunity
Brookhaven Science Associates, LLC (BSA), operating under a prime contract with the U.S. Department of Energy's Office of Science, is soliciting proposals for a high-resolution X-ray Microscope (XRM) for the Center for Functional Nanomaterials at Brookhaven National Laboratory. The XRM instrument must be capable of studying solid samples in transmission geometry under ambient or vacuum pressure conditions, with specific technical requirements including 75nm pixel resolution and advanced X-ray capabilities. The procurement will be conducted as a full and open competition under NAICS code 334516 for Analytical Laboratory Instrument Manufacturing, with a business size standard of 1,000 employees. Proposals will be evaluated using a "Best Value" methodology, with technical factors weighted more heavily than price, focusing on performance requirements, prior experience, manufacturing capabilities, and quality assurance. The evaluation criteria include six tabs totaling 100 points, with the most significant emphasis on Performance Requirements and Technical Capabilities (65 points), and proposals must score at least 65% technically to be considered responsive.
The solicitation does not have a specific set-aside designation and is open to all qualified vendors. Proposals are due by April 18, 2025, with an estimated award date in May/June 2025, and the total project period is 80 weeks after contract award. The place of performance is Upton, NY 11973, and the contract includes milestone-based payments with specific deliverables at various stages, including program plan, manufacturing plan, factory acceptance testing, delivery, and site acceptance. While the exact award value is not specified, the procurement includes detailed requirements for project management, documentation, and quality assurance, with a firm-fixed-price contract structure. The solicitation also includes small business participation goals, targeting 50% small business involvement, with specific targets for disadvantaged, woman-owned, HUBZone, veteran-owned, and disabled veteran-owned businesses. The contractor will be required to provide a one-year warranty on parts and labor, with remote diagnosis capabilities and compliance with the Buy American Act.
