About this opportunity
Brookhaven Science Associates (BSA), operating under the Department of Energy Office of Science, is seeking sources capable of providing PCB assembly and precision structural metal fabrication services for the Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment (DUNE) Vertical Drift detector. This pre-solicitation notice invites interested contractors to submit a Statement of Capabilities demonstrating their ability to meet the technical requirements outlined in the attached engineering drawings, technical specifications, and Statement of Work. Key requirements include the fabrication of charge readout plane support superstructures (CRP-SSTs) using stainless steel 304L materials, adherence to rigorous welding and dimensional tolerance standards (ASTM, ANSI, AWS, ASME), and compliance with U.S. export control regulations. The anticipated NAICS code is 332312 (Fabricated Structural Metal Manufacturing), with a small business size standard of 500 employees. Responses must be submitted electronically by January 15, 2026, and should include the company name, address, SAM Unique Entity Identification number, and point of contact information; this is a market research exercise only, and BSA makes no commitment to issue a solicitation or award a contract based on responses received.
This pre-solicitation notice is not designated as a set-aside for small businesses or other socioeconomic categories. The procurement involves fabricating sixteen charge readout plane support superstructures, consisting of four small frames and twelve large frames, with optional quantities of up to two additional frames of each type, as well as optional cleaning and degreasing services. The contract timeline includes stringent delivery milestones, with engineering packages due eight weeks after order receipt, first article fabrication within sixteen weeks of drawing package approval, and estimated serial production at forty-eight weeks following technical performance approval. Delivery locations include CERN for the first large SST frame and the South Dakota Warehouse Facility for subsequent frames. While specific award value or budget range information is not disclosed in the pre-solicitation notice, the technical complexity and precision requirements suggest a substantial contract involving multiple deliverables and comprehensive quality assurance oversight throughout the fabrication and delivery process.
