AI Contract Overview
SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory, operated by Stanford University for the Department of Energy, is soliciting quotes for a single unit of a highly specialized soft X-ray free electron laser nano-focusing mirror. This mirror must meet stringent technical specifications including tangential slope error under 0.5 µrad RMS, sagittal slope error under 3 µrad RMS, residual height error below 3 nm RMS, and surface roughness requirements of less than 1 nm RMS over 1x1 mm² fields and below 0.3 nm RMS over 0.1x0.1 mm² fields. The mirror substrate is specified as Si(100) with an Au coating of 50 ± 10 nm atop a Cr binder layer of 5-10 nm. Additional requirements include specified dimensional tolerances such as chamfered edges (C0.5) and squareness and parallelism within 0.5 arcminute. The evaluation of figure errors will be after subtracting the best-fit Wolter profile, and the manufacturer should have a proven track record in fabricating similar Wolter mirrors with nano-focusing capabilities at the 100-500 nm scale. The contract will be awarded based on the lowest price and best lead time, with delivery expected within 27 weeks from award. The procurement is for product only, with no on-site services permitted, and the purchase order will be issued on a fixed-price basis under SLAC’s standard Terms and Conditions for Fixed Price Commercial Supplies and Services (August 2023). Payments will be made on NET-30 terms, with domestic suppliers required to ship FOB Destination Prepaid & Add, while foreign suppliers must ship under CIP SLAC terms with duty unpaid. Compliance with the Buy American Act certification is mandatory for awards over $15,000 per unit. Offerors must provide various forms including representations and certifications, Buy American Act certification, and a quote including pricing, lead time, and Harmonized Tariff Schedule codes. All subcontractors must be registered in the System for Award Management (SAM.gov). The solicitation was posted publicly on SAM.gov with a response deadline of March 31, 2026, and source selection will consider any available discounts for academic, government, or related institutions. Confidentiality markings on proprietary information are requested, and all inquiries are directed to the SLAC Procurement Commodities Team.
