Description

To all Potential/Interested Suppliers,

Brookhaven Science Associates, LLC (herein known as “BSA”), operator of Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL) under a Prime Contract with the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), is seeking expressions of interest from firms regarding (542) EIC ESR D1-D3 Dipole Magnets and (195) EIC ESR D2 Dipole Magnets as outlined in the following attachments:

Attachment A- Statement of Work for the Electron Storage Ring D1/D3 Dipole Magnets (Doc. No. EIC-MSG-SOW-017), dated February 4, 2026.

Attachment B- Statement of Work for the ESR D2 Dipole Magnets (Doc. No. EIC-MSG-SOW-018), dated February 4, 2026

Attachment C- Technical Specification for the ESR D1/D3 Dipole Magnets (Doc. No. EIC-MSG-SPC-008), dated February 4, 2026.

Attachment D- Technical Specification for the ESR D2 Dipole Magnets (Doc. No. EIC-MSG-SPC-009), dated February 4, 2026.

Attachment E- BNL-QA-101 Revision 4/2025

Attachment F- D1-D3 Technical Drawings Available (currently drawings are being approved, will be included in competitive solicitation).

Attachment G- D2 Technical Drawings Available (currently drawings are being approved, will be included in competitive solicitation).
