About this opportunity
Brookhaven National Laboratory, operating under the Department of Energy Office of Science, is seeking to procure a customized motion system for the Full Field X-Ray Imaging (FXI) Transmission X-Ray Microscope (TXM) end station at the National Synchrotron Light Source II facility on Long Island, New York. The procurement involves a high-precision motion system comprising a rotary air-bearing stage (LAB Motion Systems RT150AU), three linear motion stages (two SmarAct CLS-5252-DS and one SmarAct CHS-5237), a slip ring, sensor module, and associated control systems including an ACS Controller and SmarAct MCS2 Control System. Interested vendors must be registered under NAICS code 334516 (Analytical Laboratory Instrument Manufacturing) with a size standard of 1,000 employees in the System for Award Management prior to submitting quotes. The procurement will utilize full and open competition with no evaluation criteria specified in this pre-solicitation notice. BNL expects to issue solicitation RFQ-467823 by the end of September 2025, with an anticipated award date around that timeframe for a Firm Fixed Price contract.
This procurement does not utilize any set-aside designations and will be competed under full and open competition rules. No incumbent contractors or potential awardees are identified in the pre-solicitation documentation. The motion system must meet stringent technical specifications including precise travel ranges, maximum speeds, load capacities, and positioning accuracy requirements, with an overall system height not exceeding 237 millimeters. BNL anticipates making one award for this requirement, though no specific contract value or budget range has been disclosed. The technical drawings dated June 24, 2025, indicate complex dimensional requirements with measurements including 65, 230.5, 140.5, and 25 units in what appears to be a multi-layered mechanical assembly. The procurement is subject to U.S. Department of Commerce Export Administration Regulations and involves items covered under Free Trade Agreements.
