AI Contract Overview
SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory, operated by Stanford University for the Department of Energy, is seeking a single U.S.-based supplier to deliver two custom linear diamond gratings on separate single-crystal CVD diamond substrates, each with two precision grating features on a single substrate. Substrate one features gratings with a 980 nm pitch, 30% and 40% duty cycles, and a guaranteed minimum depth of 3.5 micrometers, while substrate two has a 2000 nm pitch with the same duty cycles and a guaranteed minimum depth of 5 micrometers. Each grating measures approximately 2 mm by 1 mm, with grooves oriented parallel to the 1 mm edge and engraving aligned to SLAC’s provided CAD designs; both substrates have a 10 mm by 10 mm frame and a thickness of about 100 micrometers. Optional enhanced depth versions for both substrates are available, contingent on fabrication feasibility. The award will be awarded on a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable basis, prioritizing compliance with strict technical specifications over cost alone. Offerors must be registered in the System for Award Management, comply with the Buy American Act, and properly label any proprietary or confidential information in their proposals. Performance must adhere to SLAC’s Terms and Conditions for Fixed Price Commercial Supplies and Services dated August 2023 and its Supplemental Rider dated August 2026, which govern quality, warranty, acceptance, and dispute resolution. Delivery must be FOB Destination Prepaid and Add, with payment terms Net 30 days, and invoices submitted via email to SLAC’s accounts payable office. The contract incorporates multiple FAR and DEAR clauses related to whistleblower rights, small business utilization, labor standards, data rights, export controls, and counterfeit part prevention. Inspection may occur at any stage of production or upon delivery, with final acceptance resting with SLAC. The submission deadline is August 13, 2026, and all proposals must be addressed to Angela Garcia at SLAC.
