1. INTRODUCTION/BACKGROUND

Battelle Memorial Institute, Pacific Northwest Division (Battelle) operates the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) for the U.S. Department of Energy and is authorized to issue this Request for Proposal (RFP). Throughout this document, the term "Contract" is used to refer to any resultant Battelle Contract. Captions are included in this document and Battelle's General

Request for Proposal Number: 748396

Provisions for convenience of reference only and in no other way define or delineate any of the provisions hereof or otherwise affect their construction or effect.

The Offeror shall propose its most favorable price and technical approach because of the possibility that award will be made without discussion of the proposal received.

Under no circumstances shall the recipient of this RFP contact any individual within Battelle (excluding contact with Battelle's Ombudsman [see RFP Additional Instructions/Information for Offeror section below]), other than the Contracts Specialist named above regarding this RFP.

2. SCOPE OVERVIEW

Scope: This RFP is for Silicide Plate Demo.

DRAFT Contract: Offeror shall thoroughly review the attached DRAFT Contract and propose accordingly. It includes applicable language related to Scope, Environment, Safety, and Health Requirements and the role of the Technical Oversight Representative as well as other applicable language. The DRAFT Contract is provided for preliminary review purposes and is an example of what the final Contract will include. The content of the DRAFT Contract is subject to change prior to execution of the final Contract.

NAICS: The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) Code for this RFP is 325199.

The stated size standard is 1250. The stated size shall be the sole determining factor as to classification (small or large business) of an Offeror. It is the responsibility of the Offeror to certify its size on the Representations and Certifications in their proposal. If a manufacturing NAICS code is used, a wholesale trade or retain trade business concern submitting a proposal is categorized as a "nonmanufacturer" and deemed small if it has 500 or fewer employees and meets the requirements of 13 CFR 121.406.

3. BASIS OF AWARD

Contract Award (cl 600 revised - July 2020) Battelle may evaluate proposals received in response to this RFP without discussion (initial proposal should contain the Offeror's best price and technical terms).

Selection Method: Contract award, if any, will be made to the responsive and responsible Offeror whose evaluated proposal provides for the lowest price after satisfying all the technical requirements of this RFP.

Rights Reserved: Battelle may:

A. reject any or all proposals;

B. request clarification of minor irregularities, informalities or apparent clerical mistakes;

C. waive minor irregularities, informalities or apparent clerical mistakes in offers received;

D. accept any item or combination of items, unless doing so is precluded by a restrictive limitation in the RFP or the proposal;

E. award multiple contracts as a result of this RFP;

F. reject a proposal as non-responsive if the prices proposed are materially unbalanced between line items or sub-line items. A proposal is materially unbalanced when it is based on prices significantly less than prices for some items and prices which are significantly overstated in relation to prices for other items, and if there is a reasonable doubt that the proposal will result in the lowest overall price to Battelle even though it may be the lowest evaluated proposal, or if it is so unbalanced as to be tantamount to allowing an advance payment;

G. request oral and/or written discussions;

H. determine a competitive range, including all proposals that are judged to have a reasonable chance of being selected for award, and negotiate with all Offerors within it. (In the event a competitive range is determined, it will be based solely on Battelle's judgment, and Best and Final Offers will be requested at the conclusion of negotiations);

I. negotiate only with a single Offeror to further reduce the price paid if, in the judgment of Battelle after a review of the technical and price offers, only one Offeror has a reasonable chance of being selected for award.

J. conduct a cost or price audit to facilitate a determination of price reasonableness; or K. re-solicit this requirement.

4. PROPOSAL SUBMITTAL REQUIREMENTS
