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, modifying the base contract DE-AC02-76SF00515 under DOE Contract authority.

The rider incorporates and modifies multiple Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) clauses applicable to all subcontracts issued under this contract. Key incorporated clauses include provisions addressing small business utilization (FAR 52.219-8), DEI discrimination addressing (FAR 52.222-90), biased product reporting (FAR 52.223-2), ozone-depleting substances (FAR 52.223-11), refrigeration equipment maintenance (FAR 52.223-12), Buy American requirements for supplies and construction materials (FAR 52.225-1 and 52.225-9), text messaging while driving policies (FAR 52.226-8), security prohibitions and exclusions (FAR 52.240-91), commercial products and services subcontracting (FAR 52.244-6), and privately owned vessel preferences for ocean transportation (FAR 52.247-64). Several FAR clauses are explicitly deleted as inapplicable, including those addressing Kaspersky Lab prohibition, segregated facilities, equal opportunity, EPEAT-registered equipment and televisions, energy efficiency in energy consuming products, personal computer products, and EPA-designated affirmative procurement items. The document reflects updates from Federal Acquisition Circular 2025-06 and associated changes to the FAR overhaul model, with specific threshold adjustments including micro-purchase threshold increases from $10,000 to $15,000 and simplified acquisition threshold increases from $250,000 to $350,000. Additional revisions address small business subcontracting plan thresholds and cost accounting practice disclosures. A hyperlink update is required for invoicing and reimbursement procedures directing contractors to the appropriate SLAC suppliers portal. The document is effective August 2026, Revision 1.
