Quick Summary
The Department of Energy's Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL), through Brookhaven Science Associates (BSA), is soliciting proposals for the design, fabrication, and construction of an Experimental Endstation Clean Room Cabin. This cabin is for the Infrared Nanospectroscopy Facility (INF) beamline at the National Synchrotron Light Source II (NSLS-II) in Upton, NY. The objective is to provide a controlled environment for advanced experiments in quantum computing, information science, and electronic characterization. Proposals are due by March 19, 2026.
Scope of Work
The Contractor will be responsible for the complete lifecycle of the cabin, including design, engineering, material procurement, manufacturing, assembly, delivery, installation, testing, and commissioning. The cabin must have a minimum design life of 30 years. Key requirements include:
- Adherence to the "Technical Specification for the NSLS-II INF Experimental Endstation Cabin" (NSLSII-24IR-SPC-001) and ISO-9001 Quality Assurance standards.
- Provision of enclosure structures, support structures, and fully-finished wall and ceiling panels.
- Comprehensive documentation, including 2D/3D CAD files, installation drawings, and end-item documentation.
- Compliance with Environment, Safety, and Health (ES&H) requirements, including a Health and Safety Plan (HASP).
- Electrical safety (U.S. standards, NFPA70, NRTL approval) and fire safety (flame retardant cables).
- Contractor-provided lifting equipment (ASME standards) and full responsibility for installation, including unloading, unpacking, moving, and floor/wall penetrations.
Contract & Timeline
- Contract Type: Firm Fixed Price, Best Value procurement.
- Set-Aside: Full and Open Competition.
- NAICS Code: 236210 (Clean Room Construction), Size Standard: $45.0M.
