This document details Brookhaven Science Associates, LLC's General Terms and Conditions for Non-Commercial Items or Services specifically addressing which standard federal contract clauses are deleted or not applicable when contracting with foreign firms. The document provides a comprehensive list of 12 federal acquisition regulation (FAR) and Department of Energy (DOE) contract articles that are either not required or not to be used when both performance and delivery are outside the United States, its possessions, or Puerto Rico.

The clauses encompass various regulatory requirements including patent indemnity, equal opportunity, veterans' employment reporting, workplace safety standards, small business utilization, and toxic chemical release reporting. Key exemptions apply when work is performed entirely outside the United States, workers are recruited internationally, no manufacturing occurs within U.S. territories, or specific funding conditions are met. This document serves as a guidance document for modifying standard federal contract terms when engaging with international contractors, ensuring compliance while providing flexibility for overseas contract performance.
