Energy, Department of Upton, NYCloses September 30, 2026

What Brookhaven Science Associates is buying

Brookhaven National Laboratory, managed by Brookhaven Science Associates, is seeking quotes for specific scientific equipment. This includes one Xspress 3 Mini Mk2 one-channel readout, one 2-meter SMA-to-BNC low-loss signal cable, and one control PC for the readout system. The Xspress 3 Mini Mk2 readout must be exactly as specified, with no equivalent products or substitutions allowed.

Vendors should provide pricing that includes lead time, shipping, and any related costs. The quote must also state the country of origin, applicable trade codes (ECCN and HTS), and other requested vendor information. Pricing must be valid for at least 60 days from the submission deadline.

Key dates and what happens at the deadline

This request for proposal (RFP) was published on September 10, 2026. All quotations must be submitted by September 30, 2026, at 5:00 PM ET. Submissions, including any withdrawals or modifications, received after this time may be considered late. Late submissions will only be considered if Brookhaven Science Associates determines it is in their best interest.

Quotations will be opened privately. Brookhaven Science Associates intends to award a Firm Fixed Price purchase order to the responsive and responsible offeror whose quotation represents the lowest total evaluated price and meets all technical requirements.

Who this opportunity suits

This opportunity is suitable for firms that can supply specialized scientific instrumentation, specifically the Xspress 3 Mini Mk2 1 Channel Readout and its associated components. Given the strict requirement for no equivalents or substitutions for the readout, vendors must be able to provide this exact product. This bid falls under the facilities category, likely for laboratory equipment and instrumentation.

Vendors should be prepared to handle international shipping logistics if applicable, and understand the requirements for all-inclusive pricing or acting as the Importer of Record for foreign products over 150lbs.

Your quotation should include pricing for all three line items, lead time, country of origin, your Unique Entity Identifier (UEI), and any published price list if available. Ensure your pricing is valid for at least 60 days.

Practical tips for a competitive response

Carefully review all pricing and shipping requirements. If items are under 150lbs, they may ship internationally on Brookhaven Science Associates' FedEx account; advise on item weight. If not, pricing must be all-inclusive, covering freight, tariffs, packing, handling, and other delivery fees. The purchase order will not have separate line items for these charges.

For foreign products over 150lbs where all-inclusive pricing is not possible, Brookhaven National Laboratory must be listed as the Importer of Record, with Incoterms DAP, and their designated freight forwarder must be used. Ensure your quote clearly addresses these shipping conditions. Double-check that all requested information, such as ECCN and HTS codes, is included to avoid delays.
