EIC Rods

The Department of Energy Office of Science is seeking to procure multiple C101 rods of varying diameters and lengths through this solicitation, with specific quantities ranging from 1-6 pieces per rod type. The procurement involves rods with diameters between 0.75" and 6" and lengths from 12" to 36", all classified under the NAICS category for Copper Rolling, Drawing, Extruding, and Alloying. Strict quality assurance requirements are outlined in the attached QA-101 document, which mandates suppliers maintain rigorous quality control standards, provide chemical and physical test reports, and ensure material traceability for each heat/batch/lot. The solicitation requires suppliers to indicate the country of origin on their quote and comply with detailed specifications in the quality assurance documentation. The proposal is due on January 31, 2024, with the solicitation originally posted on January 24, 2025.

The contract opportunity does not have a specific set-aside designation and will be performed at Brookhaven National Laboratory in Upton, New York. While specific award values are not disclosed, the procurement involves precise engineering components that suggest a technical and potentially high-value contract. The rod specifications indicate a specialized manufacturing requirement, with quantities totaling 15 individual rods across different dimensions. Suppliers must demonstrate capabilities in producing high-precision metal components and comply with extensive quality control measures, including providing comprehensive documentation on material properties, test results, and traceability. The contract appears focused on obtaining specialized metal rods for scientific or research purposes, likely related to the Department of Energy's scientific research infrastructure.
