Brookhaven National Laboratory intends to award a sole source contract to Advanced Energy Systems, Inc. for the design and fabrication of an electron gun for the Energy Recovery Linac at Brookhaven's Collider-Accelerator Department. This sole source contract is based on a justification that only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements. The scope of this requirement includes the design, fabrication, test, installation and delivery to Brookhaven National Laboratory, or Brookhaven's designee of the gun, the beam line valves, the cavity's high order mode couplers, power couplers, tuner, the cryogenic module and its associated components. Due to the intense research and development effort required by this device the contractor and Brookhaven National Laboratory shall work very closely during the development, fabrication and testing of the cavity and cryomodule. Brookhaven will be a part of the development and design of this device. A complete copy of the specification for the e-Cooling Electron Gun is available upon request. If there are any interested businesses that believe they can provide the required services, they must respond to this notice with a capability statement as well as past performance history of similar work before 1:00 PM (local time for Upton, NY) on Nov 3, 2006. All responses will be evaluated to determine if they are able to satisfy Brookhaven's requirements. All interested and capable businesses must have a proven track record in the development and production of the type of devices described herein. If no responses are received by the above date, a sole source contract with Advanced Energy Systems Inc. will be pursued. The point of contact for this notice is JoAnna Black, Procurement Supervisor.
