PR312-SP2

ORNL is soliciting quotes for the procurement of specific aluminum and specialty metal components under solicitation PR465693, with responses due by April 29, 2026. The items include round aluminum bars and tubes in 6061-T6511 and 7075-T651 alloys with exact dimensions, as well as carbon steel, stainless steel, Ampcoloy, and bronze components, all to be delivered to Oak Ridge, Tennessee. The solicitation applies the Brand Name or Equal clause under FAR 52.211-6, allowing domestic equivalents. The contract is a firm fixed price procurement with no pricing data provided in the bill of materials, meaning offerors must submit complete unit and extended pricing. Performance is required onsite at DOE facilities, exclusively by U.S. citizen delivery personnel, and all equipment must be sourced and handled in compliance with strict DOE and federal security protocols including PIV card access, counterintelligence measures, and NRTL certification for electrical components. Contractors must adhere to a comprehensive set of federal and DOE-specific clauses covering labor standards, environmental compliance, cybersecurity, export controls, paid sick leave, anti-kickback provisions, and subcontractor flow-down requirements. Proposals must include completed abbreviated representations and certifications, a detailed bill of materials, and must be submitted via email to the designated procurement officer. While no evaluation factors or contract value are explicitly stated, all materials must comply with UCC inspection standards, DOE O 460.1D for hazardous material handling, and NIST-based computer security controls. The contract imposes confidentiality obligations, prohibits unauthorized labeling, requires adherence to the Buy American Act, and mandates E-Verify for employee eligibility verification. No MIL-STD packaging or marking standards apply; however, general labeling for hazards and NRTL evaluation is required. Subcontractors are bound by all applicable terms, and failure to meet requirements triggers corrective action at the contractor’s expense.
