X-Ray Mirrors - Blanket Ordering Agreement (BOA)

Brookhaven Science Associates, operating on behalf of the Department of Energy Office of Science, seeks quotes for X-ray mirrors under a five-year Blanket Ordering Agreement, with proposals due September 24 and questions due September 17. The procurement is full and open competition with no set-aside.

Place of performance is Upton, New York. The BOA carries a $250,000 ceiling with firm-fixed pricing determined at the task order level; award will be based on pricing proposed for Task Order 1, which specifies fabrication of 14 silicon and zerodur mirror substrates (three silicon concave spherical mirrors, two matched-pair silicon plane mirrors, four high-specification silicon plane mirrors, and two zerodur flat mirrors) with delivery in 6–8 weeks after receipt of order.

Mirrors must meet strict optical specifications including flatness tolerances (λ/4 to λ/10 PV at 632.8 nm), micro-roughness (0.15–0.5 nm RMS), scratch-dig (60–40 to 40/20), and optional metal coatings (rhodium, platinum, or gold). The subcontractor must maintain ISO 9001 certification or equivalent quality system, material traceability, measuring and test equipment calibration traceable to NIST, and protection against counterfeit parts. Deliverables include fabricated mirrors, metrology data packages with figure/slope-error and micro-roughness data, coating reports where applicable, and certificates of conformance.

The NAICS code is 327211, Flat Glass Manufacturing, with a 1,100-employee size standard; vendors must verify current size status in SAM. Pricing must be all-inclusive in U.S. dollars, FOB Brookhaven National Laboratory with freight included. Payment terms are Net 10 for small businesses or Net 30 for large businesses. Quotes must remain valid for 60 days. All proposed items must comply with FAR Part 25 Buy American Act requirements; offerors must specify whether items are domestic or foreign end products and provide country of origin or place of manufacture, HTS codes, and export control contact information if sourced outside the U.S. Award goes to the responsive and responsible offeror submitting the lowest total price while meeting all technical requirements.
