The place of performance is located in Batavia, Illinois, and the contract will be awarded under the United States Department of Energy's prime contract #DE-AC02-07CH11359. While specific award values are not explicitly stated, the solicitation requires detailed pricing information and compliance with various federal regulations, including export/import controls, Buy American provisions, and specific certifications based on proposal value thresholds. Potential subcontractors must complete a comprehensive Subcontractor Annual Representations & Certifications (SARC) form and adhere to Fermi Forward Discovery Group's General Terms and Conditions for Supplies, which emphasizes compliance with Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) and Department of Energy Acquisition Regulation (DEAR) clauses.
