About this opportunity

The Department of Energy Office of Science is seeking sources to perform specialized welding services for the Electron Ion Collider (EIC) Project at Brookhaven National Laboratory. The procurement involves welding B1pF Collar Laminations made from 21-6-9 high strength austenitic steel, with specific requirements for manufacturing, inspection, and delivery of magnet welded collar assemblies. Potential contractors must demonstrate capabilities including weld strength testing, creation of welding fixtures, post-weld measurements, and compliance with AWS D17.2/D17.2M:2019 welding specifications. Contractors are required to have in-house weld strength testing equipment and maintain ISO-9001 compliance. The initial response deadline is January 3, 2024, with a Request for Information (RFI) seeking expressions of interest from qualified vendors, though this is not yet a formal solicitation.

The contract involves first article testing and approval of four units each for three key assemblies, with total production quantities ranging from 22 to 2,972 units across different assembly types. The production schedule requires first article units within 6 weeks after award, delivery of 64 units of specific assemblies by week 12, and all remaining deliveries by week 15. Quality classification is A-3, and the work is categorized under NAICS 332313 (Plate Work Manufacturing) and PSC 3433 (Gas Welding, Heat Cutting, and Metalizing Equipment). There are no specific set-aside designations for this opportunity, and no incumbent contractors are identified in the documentation. The project is part of a new Nuclear Physics Facility designed to study nucleon structure through collisions between polarized ions and electrons, indicating a high-precision scientific research application.
