Abstract :
This paper summarizes the structure and execution (or ´history´) of the contract between the RHIC Project at Brookhaven National Laboratory and the Northrop Grumman Corporation for construction of the 8 cm aperture superconducting dipoles needed for RHIC. A total of 373 dipoles were built for a contracted price of $43 M. Two smaller contracts for RHIC superconducting magnets are also discussed.
