HSR HF Dipole and Quad SC Magnet PS and Quench

Brookhaven Science Associates, LLC, operating the Brookhaven National Laboratory, has issued a Request for Information and Sources Sought notice under solicitation APP00730MB for the design, manufacture, and delivery of high-current power-supply systems for the Electron-Ion Collider Hadron Storage Ring. The project requires two distinct models: Model A for the main arc dipole circuit and Model B for the main arc quadrupole circuit. These systems must provide precisely regulated, ramped current to superconducting magnet loads and include integrated components such as quench-protection equipment, programmable controls, local operator interfaces, and protective interlocks. The procurement emphasizes high-accuracy current regulation and two-quadrant operation, with all equipment adhering to NEC, NEMA, IEEE, and IEC standards. Interested companies must submit their responses by December 11, 2026, at 5 PM EST. Submittals should include general company capabilities, estimated lead times, budgetary pricing, a technical compliance matrix, and any exceptions to the BSA General Terms and Conditions for Noncommercial Items. Technical evaluations will focus on power-conversion topologies and the ability to support formal Preliminary and Final Design Reviews. The contract mandates strict quality assurance under ISO-9001 and BNL-QA-101 standards, requiring the contractor to maintain records for five years and provide ten working days notice for witness points. Final acceptance is contingent upon successful testing at the BNL facility within 90 days of delivery.
