About this opportunity
Brookhaven Science Associates, LLC, operating Brookhaven National Laboratory under a prime contract with the U.S. Department of Energy Office of Science, is seeking expressions of interest for the assembly of three 49 MHz Normal Conducting Radio Frequency (NCRF) cavities for the Electron-Ion Collider High-Speed Recovery project. This Request for Information, issued for planning and informational purposes only, requires potential suppliers to demonstrate their manufacturing capabilities for highly specialized scientific equipment with detailed technical specifications outlined in multiple attachments including statements of work, technical drawings, and quality assurance documentation. Interested firms must submit electronic responses by October 15, 2025, to Cindy Blanchard at cblanchar@bnl.gov with "BSA RFI 00066-CAB" in the subject line. The evaluation will focus on supplier capabilities, estimated lead times, compliance with technical specifications, budgetary pricing information, and any exceptions to BSA's General Terms and Conditions for Noncommercial Items. An addendum issued on September 30, 2025, added step files for Drawing No. 2401M3099 to support the original RFI package.
This opportunity does not include any set-aside designation and is open to all qualified suppliers capable of manufacturing the specialized radio frequency cavity assemblies. No incumbent contractors or current service providers are identified in the solicitation documentation. The RFI does not specify budget ranges or estimated contract values, requesting only budgetary pricing information from interested parties as part of their capability submissions. The procurement involves exactly three cavity assemblies, representing a limited quantity manufacturing requirement for this highly specialized scientific instrumentation. The timeline for services is not explicitly defined beyond the requirement for suppliers to provide their estimated lead times as part of their response submissions. This RFI represents the preliminary market research phase, with no commitment from the government to proceed with a formal solicitation or award any contracts based on the responses received.
