Photo Equipment

Argonne National Laboratory, acting as a Department of Energy contractor, has issued a solicitation for photo equipment under solicitation number 6-B141-Q-00361-00, with a response deadline of May 29, 2026, at 4:00 PM CST. The solicitation is evaluated solely on the lowest price technically acceptable methodology, requiring all offerors to complete points A through F on page 2 of the ANL-70 form; incomplete submissions will be automatically discarded. The contract is scoped under NAICS code 423410 and performance is to occur at Lemont, Illinois, with deliveries governed by FOB Destination for domestic shipments and INCOTERMS 2010 DAP for international shipments. Payment terms permit checks, ACH, or credit card transactions, though no remittance details or payment office information are provided. The contract is presumed to be firm-fixed-price based on evaluation methodology and referenced FAR clauses, with no estimated contract value disclosed. The contractor is required to furnish supplies free of suspect or counterfeit parts, sourced exclusively from original manufacturers or authorized distributors, and must maintain a documented counterfeit part prevention program. Special requirements include strict compliance with whistleblower protections, cybersecurity standards aligning with NIST, ISO, SOC2, PCI-DSS, or HITRUST, mandatory reporting of data breaches within ten business days, and adherence to prohibitions on Kaspersky Lab products and designated Chinese telecommunications equipment. The contractor must also ensure all personnel comply with the Laboratory's Code of Business Ethics, complete site access documentation, and possess REAL ID-compliant identification for physical entry. Labor compliance under FAR provisions for employment eligibility verification, minimum wage, and paid sick leave applies if performance exceeds 120 days, and small business subcontracting obligations are triggered if thresholds are met. Data rights are governed by FAR 52.227-14 with alternates II, III, and V applicable, and the contractor must certify small business status, UEI registration, and absence of prohibited materials through the ANL-70A form. All representations remain uncompleted in the solicitation, placing the burden on offerors to fully populate and certify each section. Failure to meet any requirement, including delivery at the designated acceptance location in Lemont, Illinois, risk of loss transfer conditions, or counterfeit part compliance, may lead to rejection, termination, or financial penalties.
