EIC ESR D1-D3 & D2 Dipole Magnets
Brookhaven Science Associates, LLC, the operator of Brookhaven National Laboratory for the U.S. Department of Energy, has issued this sources sought notice to identify firms capable of producing dipole magnets for the Electron Ion Collider (EIC). The EIC is a nuclear physics facility designed to collide relativistic energy electrons and ions to study the internal structure of protons and neutrons. The specific requirements involve the manufacture of 542 EIC ESR D1-D3 dipole magnets and 195 EIC ESR D2 dipole magnets. Work will be performed in Upton, New York, and falls under NAICS 332999, All Other Miscellaneous Fabricated Metal Product Manufacturing, and PSC 9390, Miscellaneous Fabricated Nonmetallic Materials.
This request for information is for planning purposes to survey available resources for manufacturing, assembly, and testing. Interested suppliers must demonstrate their capability to provide detailed designs and program plans while meeting schedule constraints and capacity requirements for both magnet types. Respondents are asked to provide information regarding their past experience with dipole magnets, manufacturing capabilities within the United States, estimated scrap yields for government-furnished production steel, and minimum order quantities. Submissions should also address lead times, budgetary pricing, and any exceptions to the provided general terms and conditions for noncommercial items.
Responses to solicitation number 000538-000539 are due by June 29, 2026, and should be submitted electronically to Senior Contracts Specialist Cindy Blanchard. The notice includes nine attachments, including separate statements of work and technical specifications for the D1/D3 and D2 dipole magnets, quality assurance requirements, technical drawings, and general terms and conditions. No set-aside has been designated for this requirement.

Please note that this is an RFI/Sources Sought notice, not a Request for Proposal, and no solicitation exists at this time.
This RFI is for informational and planning purposes only and is not to be construed as a commitment by the U.S. Government, nor will the U.S. Government pay for information received. The information from this notice will help the Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Basic Energy Sciences (BES) survey available resources.
The Electron Ion Collider (EIC) is a Nuclear Physics Facility that will create intense beams of relativistic energy electrons and ions in opposing particle storage rings that will be brought into collision in a large experimental detector. This will provide insight into the internal structure of protons and neutrons and the gluelike force that holds them together.
Please provide the following information:
2. Does your company have the capacity to support all magnets (both D1/D3 and D2)?
3.Can your company support our schedule based on the capacity requirements?
4. Does your company have key staff and engineers to provide a detailed design and program plan as outlined in the D1-D3 and D2 Dipole Magnets?
5. Does your company have manufacturing, assembly, testing capabilities and available resources to meet the proposed schedule restraints? How does our future annual requirements compare to your past throughput the last ~3-5 years?
6.Pertaining to the GFE production steel, provide an estimated scrap yield percentage?
7. What is the minimum order quantity?
8. What are the lead times?
9. What is the period validity of your proposal? Is there a concern with holding pricing because
of the time between the procurement of the D1/D3 and D2 magnets ?
10. Would a change in quantities drive significant pricing and lead time changes?
11. Does your company have manufacturing capabilities in the US?
We are open to all information you can and care to provide at this point. Please provide responses to BSA no later than June 29, 2026.
BSA prefers electronic submissions of submittals. Electronic submissions will be accepted by the following method:
We trust that the information contained herein is sufficient to permit your company to prepare a submittal outlining:
Attachment H- BSA General Terms and Conditions for Noncommercial Items, Rev. 24.0; (April, 2026)
