3AXIS MILL TOOLING

This document outlines the standard terms and conditions for purchase orders of commercial products and services under the Simplified Acquisition Threshold (SAT), issued by UT-Battelle, LLC, acting on behalf of the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) at Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL). Key provisions include establishing that disputes are governed by federal law (or Tennessee state law in its absence) and defining the order of precedence for contract documents. UT-Battelle retains the authority to terminate agreements for convenience or default. Sellers must ensure all delivery drivers are U.S. citizens to enter DOE facilities, and all electrical equipment must be certified by a Nationally Recognized Testing Laboratory (NRTL). The terms mandate strict compliance with federal, state, and local laws, including export control regulations, the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, and the Walsh-Healey Public Contracts Act. Sellers must also implement safety and whistleblower programs, including the Employee Concerns Program. Finally, the document enforces stringent cybersecurity and privacy protocols. Sellers handling Personally Identifiable Information (PII) must apply NIST SP 800-171 standards, encrypt data in transit, report security incidents within one hour, and maintain commercial general, professional, and cyber liability insurance of at least $2,000,000. These clauses flow down to all lower-tier subcontractors.

This document outlines the Prime Supplemental Flowdowns (BSD-CS-2258) for subcontracts and purchase orders issued by UT-Battelle, LLC under Prime Contract No. DE-AC05-00OR22725 with the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) for the management and operation of Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL). The document establishes mandatory federal and departmental regulatory requirements that flow down to subcontractors based on specific monetary thresholds and procurement types. Key provisions include standard Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) and Department of Energy Acquisition Regulation (DEAR) clauses governing business ethics, restrictions on foreign purchases, small business utilization, and employment eligibility. Special supplemental flowdowns are categorized by procurement type, including provisions for information technology, real estate, research and development, construction, services, classified acquisitions, and nuclear materials. Notably, the document outlines proprietary data rights and protection protocols for the Critical Materials Hub and international nuclear fusion research (ITER) projects. Additionally, the document mandates subcontractor compliance with a comprehensive roster of DOE Orders and Manuals. These directives govern critical administrative and operational areas such as cybersecurity, unclassified foreign national access, quality assurance, facility safety, environment and health reporting, safeguards, and counterintelligence programs. To the extent that any listed clause is inapplicable to a specific subcontract's performance scope, it is considered self-deleting.

This document is an abbreviated Representations and Certifications form (Form BSD-CS-2260, dated March 9, 2026) required for offerors bidding on contracts with Oak Ridge National Laboratory, which is operated and managed by UT-Battelle, LLC. Because subcontractors are paid with federal government funds, offerors must register and maintain their status in the System for Award Management (SAM). The form requires bidders to disclose and certify compliance across several regulatory areas: - **Organizational Structure & Export Control:** Identification of business type and state of incorporation, as well as disclosure of whether supplies include nuclear Trigger List, Military/Space, or Dual-Use items. - **Domestic Sourcing & Labor Compliance:** Certifications regarding the Buy American Act for supply offers exceeding $15,000, and a certification verifying that no forced or indentured child labor was used for listed end products. - **National Security & Ethics:** Compliance with FAR 52.204-25 prohibiting certain covered Chinese telecommunications and video surveillance equipment, disclosure of organizational or personal conflicts of interest, and certification regarding lobbying activities for contracts exceeding $200,000. - **Safety & Business Size:** Commitment to participate in the Department of Energy’s Employee Concerns Program and Differing Professional Opinion process, alongside self-certification of business size and socioeconomic status (e.g., small, veteran-owned, women-owned, or HUBZone business) under the designated NAICS code. Completing and signing this document attests to the accuracy of the representations, with misrepresentation subject to criminal prosecution or civil liability.
