About this opportunity
The Department of Energy Office of Science, through Brookhaven Science Associates, is conducting market research for the development of an absolute beam polarimetry system for the Electron-Ion Collider at Brookhaven National Laboratory. This sources sought notice seeks qualified contractors capable of designing and optimizing a sophisticated polarimeter system consisting of four key components: a Polarized Atomic Hydrogen Gas Jet Target, Scattering Chamber, Recoil Spectrometer, and Breit-Rabi Polarimeter. Interested parties must submit a Statement of Capabilities demonstrating their ability to perform the technical requirements outlined in the Statement of Work, including design simulations and component optimization. Responses must include company information, SAM UEI number, contact details, and business size classification under NAICS code 541715 (Research and Development in Physical, Engineering, and Life Sciences). The deadline for responses to this sources sought notice is October 22, 2025, with submissions required electronically.
This opportunity does not include any set-aside designations and is open to all business sizes including large businesses and various small business categories. No incumbent contractors or current service providers are mentioned in the notice, nor are any specific award values or budget ranges disclosed at this preliminary market research stage. The anticipated contract will span 36 months with three major deliverables: a Preliminary Design due 12 months after contract award, a Final Design due at 24 months, and a comprehensive usage and maintenance report due at 34 months. The technical scope includes multiple parallel work streams with varying timelines, including 18-month periods for Atomic Beam Source and Breit-Rabi polarimeter simulations, and 36-month timelines for the design and simulation of the Scattering Chamber, Magnetic Holding Field, and Recoil Spectrometer components. BSA anticipates conducting a competitive acquisition process following this initial market research phase.
