SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory, operated by Stanford University for the Department of Energy, is seeking a Soft X-ray Electron Free Laser Focusing Mirror under solicitation SLAC_364143_SoftXrayFocusingMirror, with a response deadline of June 6, 2026. The mirror must be fabricated with a Si(100) substrate, coated with a 50 ± 10 nm gold layer and a 5–10 nm chromium binder, and meet stringent optical and dimensional specifications: tangential slope error under 0.5 μrad RMS, sagittal slope error under 3 μrad RMS, residual height error under 3 nm RMS, and surface roughness below 1 nm RMS over a 1×1 mm² field of view and below 0.3 nm RMS over a 0.1×0.1 mm² field, all measured after best-fit Wolter subtraction. Additional requirements include a 20 μm/500 μm S/D ratio with no haze, C0.5 chamfer on all edges, and 0.5 arcminute squareness and parallelism. The award will be based on the lowest price and best lead time, with a required delivery window of 27 weeks. The resulting purchase order will be fixed price, subject to SLAC’s Terms and Conditions for Commercial Supplies and Services (August 2023), and payment is NET-30 after acceptance or invoice receipt, whichever is later. For domestic suppliers, freight terms are FOB Destination Prepaid and Add; for foreign suppliers, the shipment must be delivered CIP SLAC, Menlo Park, duties unpaid. All suppliers must register in SAM.gov, submit a Buy American Act certification if the unit price exceeds $15,000, include the Harmonized Tariff Schedule code if applicable, and complete a Representations and Certifications Rider valid for one year. Proposals must include any applicable HTS codes, and suppliers are encouraged to provide links to published price lists for substantiation. Technical data and proprietary information must be marked accordingly.
