HRD Shield Enclosure

Solicitation 479913, issued on September 4, 2026, by Brookhaven Science Associates for Brookhaven National Laboratory under the Department of Energy, seeks proposals for the design, engineering, fabrication, delivery, installation, and testing of High Resolution Diffraction shield enclosures. These enclosures, part of the NSLS-II NEXT-III project, are critical for protecting personnel from synchrotron and Bremsstrahlung radiation. The project is structured as a firm fixed price contract, with the contractor responsible for all materials, shipping, and on-site installation at the Upton, New York facility. Key technical requirements include compliance with ANSI/AWS D1.1 for welding and ASME standards for lifting and rigging, as well as adherence to ISO-9001 quality management systems. The award will be based on a best value trade-off methodology where technical factors are weighted more heavily than price. Evaluation criteria include specification and SOW compliance, engineering capabilities, project management experience, manufacturing and installation capacity, safety, and quality assurance. Proposals must be submitted in two separate volumes by October 6, 2026, and must remain firm for 180 days. Contractors are required to provide a detailed Manufacturing, Inspection, and Test Plan for approval at the Final Design Review and must give thirty days' notice for witness points and acceptance tests. Packaging must strictly avoid peanut-type materials and ensure components are protected against weather and impact during transit.
