Experimental Endstation Clean Room Cabin

Brookhaven Science Associates, LLC, operating Brookhaven National Laboratory under the Department of Energy Office of Science, is soliciting proposals for the design, fabrication, and construction of an experimental endstation clean room cabin for the National Synchrotron Light Source II (NSLS-II) Infrared Nano-microscopy Facility. This procurement supports materials research relevant to quantum computing and information science with electronic characterization capability at approximately 10 nanometer scale. The contractor must furnish all labor, services, materials, and equipment to construct a three-room controlled environment enclosure featuring 14-foot-high aluminum honeycomb core fire-rated panels, HEPA filtration systems, electrical distribution, fire suppression systems, and cable management infrastructure, with compliance required to Building Code of New York State, NFPA standards, ASHRAE requirements, and OSHA regulations. Technical evaluation will be conducted on a best-value basis using four criteria: Specification and Statement of Work Compliance (acceptable/unacceptable threshold), Prior Experience and Project Management (55 points), Manufacturing and Installation Capabilities (35 points), and Quality Assurance (10 points), where technical factors are weighted more heavily than price. The solicitation was originally issued February 3, 2026, with questions due February 17, 2026; the final proposal deadline was extended to March 27, 2026, with an estimated award in May 2026, and proposals must remain firm for 180 days following submission.

This is a full and open competition procurement with no set-aside designations under NAICS code 236210 (Clean Room Construction) and PSC Y1EZ (Construction of Other Industrial Buildings), with a size standard of $45.0 million. No incumbent contractor or specific award value has been identified in the solicitation documents. The project timeline requires key deliverables at 4 weeks (Final Design Review Report), 16 weeks (Factory Acceptance Tests), 18 weeks (equipment receipt at BNL), 22 weeks (installation completion), and 23 weeks (cabin commissioning) following award. Payment terms are FOB destination or DAP (Freight Prepaid) with Net 10 payment for small businesses or Net 30 from acceptance on a milestone-based schedule, and the contractor must provide a two-year warranty from final acceptance. Performance of work will take place at Brookhaven National Laboratory in Upton, New York 11973, with all proposals to be submitted electronically in English to Jayce Blood, Contractual Representative, at jblood@bnl.gov or (631) 344-3936.
