About this opportunity

Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL), on behalf of the Department of Energy, is soliciting proposals through RFP No. MG-02122026 for the manufacture and assembly of five custom models of Bipolar Power Converters (BPCs) for the Advanced Light Source Upgrade (ALS-U) Project. The procurement requires completed chassis assemblies that meet IPC 610 Class 2 standards using lead solder, with all printed circuit boards undergoing 3-D automated optical inspection. Key requirements include ISO 9001 certification maintenance, monthly progress reporting, bi-weekly technical meeting participation, and NRTL electrical equipment certification per OSHA standards. Award will be made to the responsive, responsible offeror with the lowest evaluated price whose proposal is technically acceptable, with evaluation based on technical volume addressing ability to meet Statement of Work requirements, delivery and schedule compliance, and past performance on up to three similar contracts within the last five years. The RFP was released on February 12, 2026, with offeror questions due by February 20, 2026 at 3:00 PM Pacific Time and proposals due by March 6, 2026 at 3:00 PM Pacific Time, both submitted via email to mggrausz@lbl.gov.

This procurement is designated as a partial small business set-aside restricted to firms with 750 or fewer employees under NAICS Code 334418 (Printed Circuit Assembly Manufacturing). No incumbent contractor is identified in the solicitation materials. The subcontract involves delivery of first article units for five converter models by June 16, 2026, followed by production quantities totaling 358 units across all five models with final delivery by November 10, 2026, representing a total 51-week performance period after receipt of order. Specific quantities include BPC-2CH-S-18V-24A (1 first article, 27 production units), BPC-4CH-S-18V-10A (1 first article, 153 production units), BPC-2CH-S-16V-35A (1 first article, 48 production units), BPC-1CH-F-16V-70A (1 first article, 103 production units), and BPC-1CH-S-16V-200A (1 first article, 27 production units). The contract is fixed-price with funding currently allocated as TBD pending availability, and all work must be performed at a single facility in Berkeley, California 94720.
