AGS Quad and Sextupole Power Supplies

Brookhaven Science Associates, operating under contract to the U.S. Department of Energy Office of Science, is seeking proposals for the manufacture and delivery of four AC to DC power converters (power supplies) for the Alternating Gradient Synchrotron (AGS) accelerator at Brookhaven National Laboratory. The power supplies must be configured as four quadrant regulated pulsed power supplies capable of powering vertical and horizontal tune quadrupole and sextupole magnets, with specific technical requirements including current operating ranges of 0 to +/- 700A, output voltage of 0 to +/- 300V, and stringent current stability and timing parameters. This Amendment 01 to RFP-459871 increased the quantity from three to four power supplies and requires contractors to manufacture, assemble, tune, test, inspect, and deliver equipment in accordance with detailed technical specifications and comprehensive quality assurance standards. The firm fixed price contract includes milestone payments tied to manufacturing plans, design reports, acceptance tests, and final delivery. Proposals are due August 22, 2025, at 5:00 p.m. EDT, with all questions directed to Contracts Specialist Ben Furlow at bfurlow@bnl.gov.

This procurement does not utilize any set-aside designation and no incumbent contractors are identified in the solicitation documents. The contract value remains to be determined, though the extensive technical requirements and specialized nature of the equipment suggest a substantial investment in precision power supply technology. The contractor must deliver all four power supplies within 32 weeks after receipt of order, with delivery scheduled to Brookhaven National Laboratory's Receiving Building 98 on Rochester Street in Upton, New York. Payment terms are Net 30 days with FOB Destination Freight Prepaid, and bidders must maintain price validity for 180 days while identifying the country of origin for manufactured equipment. The procurement falls under NAICS code 335311 for Power, Distribution, and Specialty Transformer Manufacturing, reflecting the specialized electrical equipment nature of this requirement. Performance will occur at the Brookhaven National Laboratory facility in Upton, New York, where the power supplies will be integrated into the AGS accelerator system.
