Neutron Mirrors and Substrates for Nested Mirror Optics

The Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) is seeking proposals for the development of neutron mirrors and substrates for nested mirror optics. The optics are intended to improve the signal-to-background ratios for neutron scattering, particularly for experiments involving new materials or biological samples. The contractor will be responsible for designing, manufacturing, and delivering the neutron mirrors and substrates. The proposal should include a detailed description of the offeror's approach, including their technical capabilities, management plan, and cost proposal. • The contractor must have experience in developing neutron mirrors and substrates. • The contractor must have a thorough understanding of the technical requirements of the project. • The contractor must be able to deliver the neutron mirrors and substrates within the specified timeframe. • The contractor must be able to provide a detailed cost proposal, including all costs associated with the project. • The contractor must be able to provide a management plan, including a description of their management structure and their approach to managing the project.
