About this opportunity
Brookhaven National Laboratory, operating under the Department of Energy's Office of Science, is seeking to procure four specialized Microscope Endstation Motion Assemblies for the Tender Energy X-ray Spectroscopy (TES) Beamline at the National Synchrotron Light Source II facility. The procurement encompasses the complete design, engineering, fabrication, cleaning, assembly, testing, and shipping of precision motion stage assemblies that will position devices relative to X-ray beams and sample locations. Vendors must be registered under NAICS code 333310 (Commercial and Service Industry Machinery Manufacturing) in the System for Award Management prior to quote submission. The anticipated contract type is Firm Fixed Price with full and open competition planned. This pre-solicitation notice was posted on September 17, 2025, with a due date of October 2, 2025, and BNL anticipates issuing solicitation RFQ-468172 with an expected award date around November 15, 2024.
This procurement has no set-aside designation and will utilize full and open competition among qualified vendors. The four motion assemblies include Horizontal Mirror Motions, Vertical Mirror Motions, Detector Motions, and Microscope Motions, each requiring precise motion capabilities with tolerances as tight as 1-10 micrometers resolution and repeatability within 2-5 micrometers. Each assembly must handle loads up to 15 kilograms and provide 20mm linear motion ranges while operating in specific temperature and pressure conditions. The technical specifications mandate comprehensive acceptance testing at both the contractor's facility and at Brookhaven National Laboratory to ensure precise positioning for scientific research applications. BNL expects to make one award for this work and requests delivery as soon as possible after receipt of order, though no specific contract value has been disclosed in the pre-solicitation materials.
