This document outlines supplemental conditions for low-risk on-site federal government contracts, focusing on safety, liability, and compliance. Key areas include obtaining approval to proceed with on-site work, contractor indemnification of UChicago Argonne, LLC, the University of Chicago, and the U.S. Government for damages or injuries, and mandatory insurance coverage with specific limits for general liability, automobile liability, professional liability, and workers' compensation. The contractor must adhere to stringent Environment, Safety, and Health (ES&H) regulations, including DOE's Worker Safety and Health Program (10 CFR 851) and various federal and industry standards. This includes developing and implementing a Job Safety Analysis (JSA), ensuring a qualified on-site supervisor, and complying with site access, electrical protection, equipment inspection, and site rules. A progressive disciplinary program for safety violations, including immediate suspension for imminent danger, is detailed. The document also incorporates FAR and DEAR clauses regarding personal identity verification, pollution prevention, and access to and ownership of records, emphasizing flow-down requirements to subcontractors.

The ANL-70B (Long Version) – Reps & Certs document outlines mandatory representations and certifications for entities seeking contracts with Argonne National Laboratory, aligning with federal RFPs and grants. It details requirements based on contract value, covering general information like legal name and UEI, business organization type (including small business classifications), and NAICS codes. Key certifications address covered telecommunications equipment, personal conflicts of interest, limited rights data, and patent waivers. As contract value increases, additional certifications become applicable, including those for service contract labor standards, affirmative action, equal opportunity, the Buy American Act, executive compensation reporting, debarment, child labor, payments to influence federal transactions, independent price determination, contingent fees, combating human trafficking, and cost accounting standards. The document emphasizes adherence to FAR clauses and encourages SAM.GOV registration for streamlined compliance.

This document outlines the Argonne National Laboratory's (ANL) Terms and Conditions for Commercial Goods and Services, providing a comprehensive framework for contractors. It defines key terms like "Argonne National Laboratory" and "Government," and specifies thresholds for micro-purchases ($15,000) and simplified acquisitions ($350,000). The document details 22 specific clauses covering various aspects of contracting, including assignment, audits, changes, employee conduct, cybersecurity, disputes, environmental protection, excusable delays, inspection, payment, and termination. Notably, it emphasizes cybersecurity compliance, data breach notification, and restrictions on AI model training with Laboratory data. It also includes clauses on intellectual property, liability limitations, and the handling of suspect counterfeit parts. Additionally, the document incorporates by reference 43 Federal Acquisition Regulations (FAR) and Department of Energy Acquisition Regulations (DEAR) clauses, specifying their applicability based on contract value, performance location, or other conditions. These incorporated clauses cover areas such as whistleblower protection, labor standards, small business utilization, privacy, and prohibitions on certain foreign purchases. The document aims to ensure compliance, mitigate risks, and establish clear guidelines for all commercial engagements with ANL.

This document, PD-150, outlines the mandatory requirements for contractors to control government-owned personal property acquired for contract performance. It defines various property types, including accountable, administratively controlled, capital, high-risk, and sensitive property. Contractors must meticulously document acquisitions using Form ANL-661, detailing sources, descriptions, and costs. All government property, with specific guidelines for items valued at $5,000 or more, sensitive items, and non-consumables, must be clearly identified with appropriate labels. Contractors are required to maintain comprehensive records for all property categories, including acquisition details, costs, locations, and disposition actions. Annual and closeout physical inventories, submitted via Form ANL-550 with accompanying photos for certain items, are also mandated. The document further specifies procedures for the disposition of government property upon contract completion or if damaged. Contractors must establish and maintain a robust property management system, ensuring proper care, protection, and accountability for all government-owned assets, including controls for special handling items and internal surveillance programs.

The document ANL-661 (08/31/2023), associated with contract DE-AC02-06CH11357 at Argonne National Laboratory, is a Government Property Acquisition Record. It outlines requirements for contractors to report the acquisition of specific types of property. Contractors must indicate whether an invoice includes purchases of personal property/equipment with a unit acquisition cost exceeding $5000 and a service life over two years, or sensitive personal property/equipment regardless of dollar value. Sensitive items include communications equipment, cameras, drones, personal computer equipment, video equipment, explosives, information technology with memory capabilities, external hard drives, and controlled substances. The form requires detailed listing of such items, including property description, manufacturer, model, serial number, acquisition date, and cost. This record ensures proper control and accountability of government property, particularly items prone to loss, theft, misuse, or those with national security or export control implications.

The "Property Management Self-Evaluation Questionnaire" (ANL-642) is a document for contractors and subcontractors to assess their compliance with government-owned property management requirements. It is designed to ensure organizations have robust systems for tracking, maintaining, and disposing of government property. The questionnaire covers critical areas such as record keeping, acquisition controls, labeling, annual physical inventories, property care, handling of special property, reporting, and accounting for damaged or lost items. It also verifies the existence of an internal surveillance program and the contractor's receipt of PD-150, "Control of Government Property- Contractor Requirements." This self-evaluation is essential for ensuring accountability and proper stewardship of government assets within federal, state, and local contracting contexts.

The PD-133 clause outlines regulations for progress payments based on milestones in government contracts. It details conditions under which the Laboratory may suspend or reduce payments, such as the contractor's failure to comply with material requirements, lack of progress, unsatisfactory financial condition, or delinquent payments. The clause specifies that title to property acquired or produced for the contract vests in the Government, with specific rules for various items like materials, tooling, and data. It also assigns the risk of loss to the Contractor until delivery and acceptance, requiring repayment for lost or damaged property. Contractors must maintain adequate accounting systems, control costs and government property, and provide reports and access to records. In case of default, the contractor must repay unliquidated milestone payments, and title to property may revert to the contractor if the Laboratory doesn't require delivery. The clause emphasizes that these provisions do not excuse contractor performance or waive rights and remedies, and similar terms must be included in subcontracts.
