FXI-TXM Motion System

The Department of Energy Office of Science is seeking to procure a customized motion system for the Full Field X-Ray Imaging (FXI) beamline's Transmission X-Ray Microscope (TXM) end station at Brookhaven National Laboratory. This specialized analytical laboratory instrument will serve as an integral component of the FXI Laminography upgrade project, supporting advanced x-ray imaging capabilities for scientific research. The solicitation requires vendors to comply with BNL Supplier Quality Assurance Requirements and submit comprehensive documentation including representations and certifications, pricing sheets, and appropriate tax forms. Quotations must be submitted by October 13, 2025, providing potential contractors with approximately one month to prepare their responses. The procurement falls under NAICS code 334516 for Analytical Laboratory Instrument Manufacturing and PSC code 6640 for Laboratory Equipment and Supplies.

This opportunity does not utilize any set-aside designation, making it open to all qualified contractors regardless of size or socioeconomic status. The contract will be performed at the Brookhaven National Laboratory facility in Upton, New York, where the motion system will be integrated into the existing FXI beamline infrastructure. While the solicitation documents do not specify the contract value or identify any incumbent contractors, the specialized nature of the equipment and the scientific research environment suggest this is likely a moderate to high-value procurement requiring significant technical expertise. The motion system represents a critical upgrade to enhance the laboratory's x-ray imaging capabilities, supporting the Department of Energy's scientific mission through advanced instrumentation. Successful vendors will need to demonstrate capability in precision motion control systems suitable for x-ray microscopy applications.
