ORDER.

This will be a firm-fixed price order.

LIMITATION OF GOVERNMENT’S OBLIGATION.

(a) This purchase order (PO) is incrementally funded as follows:

PO Line Item 1 – Base Year $TBD at the time of award PO Line Item 2 – Option Year 1 $TBD at the time of award PO Line Item 3 – Option Year 2 $TBD at the time of award PO Line Item 4 – Option Year 3 $TBD at the time of award PO Line Item 5 – Option Year 4 $TBD at the time of award TOTAL (Including Options): $TBD at the time of award

For these items, the sum of $TBD is presently available for payment and allotted to this purchase order.

For item(s) identified in paragraph (a) of this clause, the Contractor agrees to perform up to the point at which the total amount payable by the Government, including reimbursement in the event of termination of those items(s) for the Government’s convenience, approximates the total amount currently allotted to the order. The Contractor will not be obligated to continue work on those item(s) beyond that point until additional funding is made available. The Government will not be obligated in any event to reimburse the Contractor in excess of the amount allotted to the order for those item(s) regardless of anything to the contrary in the clause entitled “Termination for Convenience of the Government.” As used in this clause, the total amount payable by the Government in the event of termination of applicable contract line items(s) for convenience includes costs, profit, and estimated termination settlement costs for those item(s).

The termination provisions of this clause do not limit the rights of the Government under the FAR 52.212-5(l). The provisions of this clause are limited to the work and allotment of funds for the contract line item(s) set forth in paragraph (a) of this clause. This clause no longer applies once the contract is fully funded except with regards to the rights or obligations of the parties concerning equitable adjustments negotiated under paragraph (d) of this clause.

Nothing in this clause affects the right of the Government to terminate this contract pursuant to the clause of this contract entitled “termination for the Convenience of the Government.”

HOW TO SUBMIT AN INVOICE FOR PAYMENT.

In accordance with FAR 52.232-33 invoices are paid by electronic funds transfer (EFT) routed to your company’s financial institution by the Oak Ridge Financial Service Center.

Invoices shall be submitted electronically through the U.S. Department of Energy’s Vendor Inquiry Payment Electronic Reporting System (VIPERS) at https://vipers.doe.gov. The customer service number for any registration/technical or invoice/payment related questions is 1.888.251.3557.

Please include the order number on the invoice.

NOTICE OF INVOICE PROCESSING BY SUPPORT CONTRACTOR.

A support service Contractor performs the function of processing of all invoices submitted to the National Energy Technology Laboratory, against its awards. Therefore, this Contractor has access to price/rate information (where applicable). A special provision in this Contractor’s award requires the confidential treatment by all Contractor https://vipers.doe.gov/ employees of any and all business confidential information of other Contractors and financial assistance recipients to which they have access.

ONSITE ACCESS SECURITY REQUIREMENTS.

Services shall take place at the NETL Federal site in Morgantown, WV; Pittsburgh, PA; and Albany, OR. The Contractor shall provide all U.S. citizens with valid (Real I.D.) photo identification to work under this requirement.

The Contractor’s employees shall be restricted to those areas necessary to perform work under this requirement as well as direct routes to and from work site. As applicable, delivery drivers must have a valid (Real I.D.) state driver license for the state in which they are operating. Delivery drivers may be required to provide proof of valid (Real I.D.) state driver license upon entering the Government site.

A. All personnel working at the National Energy Technology Laboratory will be required to wear identification badges at all times. The performance of this contract requires that employees of the Contractor have physical access to DOE-owned or leased facilities; however, this clause does not control requirements for an employee’s obtaining a security clearance. The Contractor understands and agrees that DOE has a prescribed process with which the Contractor and its employees must comply in order to receive a security badge that allows such physical access. The Contractor further understands that it must propose employees whose background offers the best prospect of obtaining a security badge approval for access. The following criteria, which are not all inclusive and may vary depending on access requirements, shall be considered reasons to deny access to NETL:

1. Is, or is suspected of being, a terrorist;

2. Is the subject of an outstanding warrant;

3. Has deliberately omitted, concealed, or falsified relevant and material facts from any

Questionnaire for National Security Positions (SF-86), Questionnaire for Non-Sensitive Positions (SF-85), or similar form;

4. Has presented false or forged identity source documents;

5. Has been barred from Federal employment;

6. Is currently awaiting a hearing or trial or has been convicted of a crime punishable by imprisonment of six (6) months or longer; or

7. Is awaiting or serving a form of pre-prosecution probation, suspended or deferred sentencing, probation or parole in conjunction with an arrest or criminal charges against the individual for a crime that is punishable by imprisonment of six (6) months or longer.

B. The Contractor understands and agrees that DOE may unilaterally deny a security badge to an employee and that the denial remains effective for that employee unless DOE subsequently determines that access may be granted. The denial of a security badge to individual employees by DOE shall not be cause for extension of the period of performance of this purchase order or any Contractor claim against DOE.

C. The Contractor shall return to the Contracting Officer or designee the badge(s) or other credential(s) provided by DOE pursuant to this clause, granting physical access to DOE -owned or leased facilities by the Contractor’s employee(s), upon (1) the termination of this purchase order; (2) the expiration of this purchase order; (3) the termination of employment on this purchase order by an individual employee; or (4) demand by DOE for return of the badge.

D. The Contractor shall include this clause, including this paragraph (D), in any subcontract, awarded in the performance of this purchase order, in which an employee(s) of the subcontractor will require physical access to DOE –owned or leased facilities.

All questions and compliance issues should be directed to the NETL Security Officer.

*Specific details regarding the Real I.D. requirements will be provided by the technical point of contact to the contractor upon award.

(a) Pursuant to Executive Order 13693, Planning for Federal Sustainability in the Next Decade, the Department of Energy (DOE) is committed to managing its facilities in a manner that will promote the natural environment and protect the health and well-being of its Federal employees and contractor service providers. The Contractor shall use its best efforts to support DOE in meeting those commitments, including sustainable acquisition or environmentally preferable contracting which may involve several interacting initiatives, such as -

(1) Alternative Fueled Vehicles and Alternative Fuels;

(2) Biobased Content Products (USDA Designated Products);

(3) Energy Efficient Products;

(4) Non-Ozone Depleting Alternative Products;

(5) Recycled Content Products (EPA Designated Products); and

(6) Water Efficient Products (EPA WaterSense Labeled Products).
