SLAC General Terms and Conditions Supplemental Rider Rev August 2026.pdf

This document is a General Terms and Conditions Supplemental Rider for the SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory under DOE Contract No. DE-AC02-76SF00515.

The rider modifies SLAC's standard terms and conditions by incorporating specific FAR clauses applicable to all subcontracts, deleting certain FAR clauses, and implementing policy updates from Federal Acquisition Circular (FAC) 2025-06. Key incorporated clauses address small business utilization, DEI discrimination, biased products, ozone-depleting substances, refrigeration equipment maintenance, Buy American requirements for supplies and construction materials, text messaging while driving prohibitions, security prohibitions and exclusions, and commercial product/service subcontracting preferences. The document also updates thresholds including micro-purchase thresholds (increased to $15,000), simplified acquisition thresholds (increased to $350,000), and small business subcontracting plan thresholds (increased to $900,000 for prime contractors and $2 million for construction). Deleted clauses include prohibitions on Kaspersky Lab products, segregated facilities, equal opportunity requirements, and various EPEAT product acquisition mandates. For subcontracts valued at $2 million or more, specific cost accounting and pricing data disclosure clauses apply. The document also updates a link for invoicing and reimbursement procedures. The supplemental rider is effective August 2026, Revision 1.
