The U.S. Department of Energy, via Brookhaven Science Associates, solicits a best‑value proposal to design, fabricate, install, test, and warranty high‑resolution diffraction (HRD) shield enclosures for the NSLS‑II beamline at Brookhaven National Laboratory. The effort requires full‑scale engineering, lead‑steel composite manufacturing, on‑site installation, and a five‑year warranty, with a strong emphasis on technical capability, prior experience, and safety/quality assurance. Proposals must be submitted electronically by 6 Oct 2026; questions are due by 16 Sept 2026; award is expected in Dec 2026.
• Scope includes complete design (NY‑registered PE certification), fabrication of lead‑steel panels, doors, labyrinths, and associated systems, plus on‑site installation and acceptance testing.
• Evaluation is based on a 100‑point technical score (design, experience, manufacturing, safety, QA) plus a best‑value trade‑off that considers price.
• Contractor must be SAM‑registered, capable of handling $900 k+ contracts (small‑business subcontracting plan required if above threshold), and provide a five‑year warranty.
