About this opportunity

Brookhaven Science Associates, LLC (BSA) is soliciting proposals for a Laser Ablation Sample Preparation Tool for the Center for Functional Nanomaterials at Brookhaven National Laboratory, under a Department of Energy Office of Science contract. The procurement is a full and open competition classified under NAICS code 334516 for Analytical Laboratory Instrument Manufacturing. The tool must facilitate sample shaping for materials like silica/gold nanolattices, ceramics, battery materials, metal foils, and silicon wafers, with specific requirements for sample geometries between 10-50 micron diameters and minimum 5 micron heights. Proposals will be evaluated across four key criteria: Performance Requirements and Technical Capabilities (65 points), Prior Experience and Past Performance (10 points), Manufacturing Capabilities (15 points), and Quality Assurance (10 points). Important dates include March 24, 2025 for RFP questions, April 14, 2025 for proposal submissions, and an estimated award period between May and July 2025, with proposals requiring a minimum 65% technical score to be considered.

The solicitation is not set aside for any specific business category, though it includes small business subcontracting goals of 50% small business, 5.5% disadvantaged, 5% woman-owned, 3% HUBZone, 3% veteran-owned, and 3% disabled veteran-owned businesses. The place of performance is Upton, NY 11973, with the contract period of performance spanning 80 weeks after award. While the exact contract value is to be determined, the procurement will use a milestone-based payment structure with six payment points tied to specific project stages such as Program Plan, Manufacturing Plan, Factory Acceptance Testing, and Site Acceptance. The contract includes a minimum one-year warranty on parts and labor, with required remote diagnosis and troubleshooting support within one business day. The procurement will be conducted as a "Best Value" competition, where technical factors are weighted more significantly than price.
