AI Contract Overview
Brookhaven Science Associates, LLC, operating Brookhaven National Laboratory under a U.S. Department of Energy contract, is soliciting proposals for the detailed engineering design and production of 195 Electron Storage Ring (ESR) D2 Dipole Magnets. The requirement consists of one first article magnet and 194 production magnets, which are critical for the Electron-Ion Collider to create relativistic energy beams for studying the internal structure of protons and neutrons. The scope includes the procurement of 730 tons of high-quality laminated steel in a single purchase to ensure magnetic field consistency, as well as rigorous design reviews, bi-weekly progress reporting, and adherence to ISO-9001 quality management standards. Proposals must be submitted via email by December 8, 2026, and must remain firm for 120 days. Award will be based on a Best Value trade-off process where technical factors are weighted more heavily than price. Technical evaluation is based on a 100-point scale focusing on fabrication methods, prior experience in high-accuracy magnet assemblies, manufacturing and testing capabilities, and quality assurance, with a minimum threshold of 60 points required for responsiveness. The selected contractor must provide key personnel, including a Project Engineer and Magnetic Field Simulation Specialist, and comply with EAR99 technology export controls and Department of Commerce regulations. Payment terms are Net 10 for small businesses and Net 30 for large or foreign businesses.

Full Description
Brookhaven Science Associates, LLC (BSA), under a Prime Contract for the operation of Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL) with the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), herewith solicits your proposal for 195 EIC ESR D2 Dipole Magnets (194 production magnets and 1 first article magnet).
The scope of this acquisition comprises of the detailed magnet engineering design and production of Electron Storage Ring (ESR) D2 Dipole Magnets for the Electron-Ion Collider (EIC). The magnets are an integral part of the process to create intense beams of relativistic energy electrons and ions in opposing particle storage rings that will be brought into collision in a large experimental detector. This will provide insight into the internal structure of protons and neutrons and the gluelike force that holds them together.
The Offeror shall furnish all labor, services, materials and equipment in accordance with the draft contract, Enclosure 1, including the Statement of Work and referenced Specifications and Drawings.
Please submit your proposal by 5:00PM EST on December 8, 2026.
All questions must be submitted in writing via e-mail; replies to questions will be provided in writing and, if considered to be of general interest, will be transmitted to all other offerors. If for any reason you are unable to submit a proposal, kindly reply in writing and return this letter with all of the attachments.
Sincerely,
