The contract solicitation for the MKS Ophir BeamWatch AM-3 integrated laser measurement system is issued by Oak Ridge National Laboratory under the Department of Energy, with solicitation number PR461802 and a response deadline of May 15, 2026. The procurement is classified under NAICS code 334515 for instrument manufacturing for measuring and testing, with a small business size standard of 750 employees, though no socioeconomic certifications have been affirmed by offerors. The system must be supplied as a domestic equivalent and delivered onsite to DOE facilities, primarily ORNL in Oak Ridge, Tennessee, where access is restricted to U.S. citizens, requiring delivery personnel to meet strict citizenship mandates. All deliverables must comply with DOE orders for hazardous materials packaging and transportation, including DOE O 460.1D and DOE O 460.2B, and be free from defects with a one-year warranty. Inspection and acceptance occur at the delivery site, governed by the UCC, NIST SP 800-171 for CUI protection, NRTL standards for electrical safety, and DOE O 414.1E for quality assurance. Special requirements include adherence to multiple FAR and DEAR clauses governing contractor conduct, anti-kickback measures, trafficking in persons, and a required contractor code of conduct with a deviation under PF 2022-23. Compliance extends to employment eligibility verification, paid sick leave under Executive Order 13706, and stringent environmental standards such as EPA-designated product procurement and restrictions on aerosols and foams. Data handling is subject to Privacy Act mandates, mandatory privacy training, and a strict prohibition on storing personally identifiable information outside the U.S. Contractor personnel must undergo PIV identity verification and comply with DOE’s workplace substance abuse program. Insurance requirements are exceptionally high, mandating $2 million each in commercial general liability, professional liability, and cyber liability coverage. Proposals must be submitted via email to Morgan Records at recordsmt@ornl.gov by the deadline and must include a firm fixed price quote, abbreviated representations and certifications, and an exceptions section, with no formal page limits but full compliance with referenced attachments A through D required. The contract type is unspecified, and while no estimated value is provided, payment and invoicing details remain undefined, with financial reporting obligations enforced through standard recordkeeping clauses.
