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

This is a General Terms and Conditions Supplemental Rider for SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory (SLAC) that modifies the standard terms under DOE Contract No. DE-AC02-76SF00515. The document serves as a contractual amendment applicable to all subcontracts issued under this prime contract.

The rider incorporates multiple Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) clauses by reference into subcontracts, including provisions addressing small business utilization, DEI discrimination, biased product reporting, ozone-depleting substances, refrigeration equipment maintenance, Buy American requirements for supplies and construction materials, text messaging while driving policies, security prohibitions, commercial product subcontracting, and privately owned vessel preferences. The document also deletes certain FAR clauses by reference, including prohibitions on contracting for Kaspersky Lab products, segregated facilities, equal opportunity requirements, and various energy efficiency and equipment acquisition standards. Additionally, the rider reflects changes resulting from Federal Acquisition Circular 2025-06 and associated FAR overhaul model deviations, including increases to the micro-purchase threshold (from $10,000 to $15,000), simplified acquisition threshold (from $250,000 to $350,000), and small business subcontracting plan thresholds. For subcontracts of $2 million or more, specific cost or pricing data clauses apply, including provisions for price reduction, defective cost data, and cost accounting practice disclosures. The document also updates invoicing and payment procedures through revised SLAC supplier portal links.
