Consumables: Double filament Re ZR, Field Shielding plate, and Single filament Re ZR. Brand Name *OR* Equal shall apply.

The contract solicitation RFQSS485989, issued by Oak Ridge National Laboratory under the Department of Energy, seeks the procurement of consumables including Double filament Re ZR, Field Shielding plate, and Single filament Re ZR, with brand-name or equal sourcing permitted. All deliverables must be shipped to and accepted at the DOE facility in Oak Ridge, Tennessee, with delivery required to be performed by U.S. citizens due to site security protocols. The contract is classified as combined and carries no specified total value or line-item pricing, though it triggers numerous Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) and Department of Energy Acquisition Regulation (DEAR) clauses due to its nature and potential cost thresholds. Key compliance requirements include adherence to NIST SP 800-171 for cybersecurity of controlled unclassified information, mandatory NRTL certification for electrical components, and the implementation of privacy training and employment eligibility verification under FAR clauses. Certain clauses, such as those related to anti-kickback, disclosure of payments to influence federal transactions, and limitations on pass-through charges, apply because the contract exceeds $200,000, while others like whistleblower protection and sensitive foreign nations controls are activated due to the DOE site’s nature and potential exposure to nuclear technology information. Subcontractors must flow down requirements for IT security, data protection, substance abuse programs, and property accountability, with small business participation encouraged through accelerated payment provisions. No formal evaluation factors, packaging specifications, or detailed delivery timelines are provided, but acceptance of goods is governed by the Uniform Commercial Code and conformance to NIST and NRTL standards. The contract requires registration in SAM.gov with valid UEI and CAGE codes, and while no cost breakdown exists, the solicitation deadline is July 31, 2026, with proposals expected to conform to federal and DOE-specific administrative and technical compliance criteria.
