EIectron-Ion Collider Conventional Facilities Construction

The Department of Energy Office of Science, on behalf of Brookhaven Science Associates and Brookhaven National Laboratory, is conducting market research for the construction of Electron-Ion Collider Conventional Facilities at Brookhaven National Laboratory. This Pre-Solicitation Notice requests capabilities statements from interested contractors outlining their relevant experience, safety records, schedule and cost performance, and quality management practices. Contractors are required to submit their Unique Entity Identifier (UEI) from SAM.gov and provide their business size status as part of their response. The evaluation criteria emphasize past performance, safety records, scheduling capability, cost management, and quality management systems. The deadline for submitting capabilities statements is January 30, 2026, and interested parties should note this is market research only and not a formal request for proposals.

The procurement involves no set-aside designations and is classified under NAICS code 236220 (Commercial and Institutional Building Construction) and PSC code Y1HA (Construction of Government-Owned Contractor-Operated R&D Facilities). The Statement of Work outlines construction of multiple power supply and deionized water buildings totaling approximately 150,000 to 175,000 square feet of new infrastructure, with potential add-alternate options for three additional buildings. The project encompasses a comprehensive 149-week construction schedule including earthwork, structural foundations, pre-engineered metal building systems, mechanical and electrical installations, fire suppression systems, and site utilities. Key project milestones include contract award, notice to proceed, tunnel modifications, site preparation, building construction phases, and final completion. While the Pre-Solicitation Notice does not disclose a specific award value or budget range, the substantial scope of work involving multiple building constructions and extensive infrastructure development suggests a significant federal construction investment.
