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 (August 2026 Rev. 1).

The rider modifies SLAC's general terms and conditions by incorporating, deleting, or effecting changes to specific Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) clauses applicable to subcontracts. Section 1 incorporates 14 FAR clauses applicable to all subcontracts, including provisions addressing small business utilization, DEI discrimination, biased products, ozone-depleting substances, refrigeration equipment, Buy American requirements for supplies and construction materials, text messaging while driving restrictions, security prohibitions, commercial product subcontracts, and privately owned vessel preferences. Section 2 deletes 8 FAR clauses as inapplicable, covering topics such as Kaspersky Lab prohibitions, segregated facilities, equal opportunity, EPEAT-registered products, energy efficiency, and text messaging policies. Section 3 reflects changes resulting from FAC 2025-06 and the Revolutionary FAR Overhaul Model, including increases to micro-purchase thresholds (from $10,000 to $15,000) and simplified acquisition thresholds (from $250,000 to $350,000), and modifications to small business subcontracting plans. Section 4 specifies cost accounting and pricing data clauses applicable to subcontracts of $2 million or more. Section 5 updates references for invoicing and reimbursement processes. The document applies to all subcontracts under the prime contract with SLAC.
