EIC Scintillating Fibers for Barrel Imaging Calorimeter

Brookhaven Science Associates, LLC is seeking sources to provide scintillating fibers for use in the Barrel Imaging Calorimeter for the Electron Ion Collider project. The Department of Energy Office of Science is the sponsoring agency. The fibers must have a light yield greater than 5 photoelectrons when exposed to strontium-90, a diameter of 1.00 +/- 0.01 mm with an RMS of 0.02 mm, and an attenuation length for blue light of over 4 meters. Responses to the pre-solicitation RFI are due by March 15, 2024 and should be emailed to William Koncelik at wkoncelik@bnl.gov, describing company capabilities to meet the specifications.

There is no set-aside designated for this procurement. The NAICS code is expected to be 334511 and PSC code is likely 6620. No current contractors or incumbents were named, and the RFI did not provide budget ranges or quantity details. Responses will aid Brookhaven Science Associates, LLC in determining supplier capabilities for meeting the Electron Ion Collider's scintillating fiber requirements for the Barrel Imaging Calorimeter component.
