About this opportunity

Written by GovTribe AI ·

The University of California, on behalf of Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL), seeks manufacturing of mechanical sub-assemblies and components for Advanced Light Source Upgrade (ALS-U) Storage Ring "Hard Bend" (HBEND) permanent magnet dipole bending magnets, with proposals due June 23, 2026. This is a small business set-aside under NAICS 332999 (750-employee size standard).

Place of performance is Berkeley, California. The procurement covers fabrication of yokes, support bases, mid-blocks, and drive system actuators for 8 HBEND units, with 15 line items ranging from 8 to 192 units depending on component type, plus a motion test fixture. Delivery is scheduled in two phases: kit items due January 15, 2027, and remaining items due February 26, 2027.

Distinctive technical requirements include compliance with Statement of Work AL-1852-0921 Revision E, manufacturing of components to precision tolerances verified by coordinate measuring machine inspection, actuator assembly and testing per work instruction AL-1887-9848 (5-micrometer positioning accuracy under 2,000±100 newton load), powder coating per specification 10068B, and Factory Acceptance Test with nonconformance reporting. All components must meet acceptance criteria in document AL-1835-2074B.

Government furnishes a controls chassis assembly (approximately $7,830 value) and motion control software. The estimated performance period is 6 months after receipt of order.

Proposals must address five evaluation factors: ability to meet technical requirements, manufacturing capabilities (including subcontractor experience, equipment, ERP/MRP systems, calibration certifications), delivery schedule with firm dates, past performance on comparable series production within the last five years, and quality management system certification (ASME NQA-1, ISO 9001, or equivalent) with completion of ALS-U Supplier Quality Evaluation Survey AL-1208-0209. Price evaluation focuses on realism and reasonableness but is not sole determining factor. The University reserves the right to make no award, single, or multiple awards based on best overall value. All proposals remain valid 90 days from due date. Questions due May 28, 2026; answers to three rounds of questions have been provided.
