About this opportunity
The Department of Energy Office of Science, through Brookhaven Science Associates (BSA), is conducting market research for the procurement of specialized twisted pair cables for power distribution in cryogenic temperatures for the Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment (DUNE) project. This Request for Information (RFI) seeks to identify potential sources capable of manufacturing four types of cold power cables with specific part numbers, ranging from 2.5 meters to 27 meters in length. Interested vendors must demonstrate their capability to meet the technical requirements for cryogenic temperature applications and provide manufacturing capacity for quantities ranging from 1,750 to 2,200 pieces per cable type. Responses must include company information, SAM UEI number, point of contact details, and business size designation under NAICS 334417 with a size standard of 1,000 employees. The deadline for capability statements is July 15, 2025, with submissions required electronically to Lgonzales@bnl.gov.
No set-aside designation is currently specified, though BSA reserves the right to consider a small business set-aside for any subsequent acquisition based on responses received. The procurement involves significant quantities totaling 8,900 cables across four different specifications: 2,200 pieces each of 2.5-meter and 27-meter cables, and 1,750 pieces each of 9-meter and 22-meter cables. The delivery schedule spans multiple years, with the first batch of shorter cables (2.5m and 27m) due by December 31, 2025, and full delivery by August 31, 2026 in four batches. The longer cables (9m and 22m) have later delivery requirements, with first batches due October 31, 2026, and full delivery by September 30, 2027 in five batches. No incumbent contractors or budget ranges are specified in this market research phase, and BSA anticipates conducting a competitive acquisition following this information gathering effort.
