EIC ESR D1-D3 & D2 Dipole Magnets
Brookhaven Science Associates, LLC (BSA), the operator of Brookhaven National Laboratory for the U.S. Department of Energy, is conducting market research to identify sources for dipole magnets for the Electron Ion Collider (EIC). This notice seeks information regarding the manufacturing and delivery of 542 EIC ESR D1-D3 dipole magnets and 195 EIC ESR D2 dipole magnets. The EIC facility will collide relativistic energy electrons and ions to study proton and neutron structures. The scope includes engineering design, manufacturing, inspection, testing, and delivery, including first article units for both configurations. Requirements include the use of Oxygen Free High Conductivity copper and specific magnet steel. Suppliers must demonstrate capacity to meet the schedule and manage plans through milestones like Preliminary and Final Design Reviews. This inquiry supports the Department of Energy Office of Basic Energy Sciences in planning for a future solicitation. Attachments provide Statements of Work, technical specifications, quality requirements, and engineering drawings. The package includes engineering requirements for the design, manufacturing, assembly, and testing of dipole magnets. A first article is required for each magnet type before full production begins. Technical documentation specifies material standards like OFHC copper and fiberglass insulation, along with verification procedures for hydrostatic and electrical testing. This is an informational planning notice to survey resources. Technical requirements include performance parameters such as a 0.291 Tesla pole tip field and a 556 Amp maximum current for D1/D3 units.

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:
