    The "FFDG GENERAL TERMS & CONDITIONS (COMMERCIAL PRODUCTS OR COMMERCIAL SERVICES) (01/2025)" document outlines the contractual terms for commercial products and services procured by Fermi Forward Discovery Group, LLC (FFDG) for the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory. It defines key terms, specifies the scope of subcontracts, and establishes the Subcontractor as an independent entity. Key provisions cover payment, inspection, licenses, changes, indemnification, warranties for products and services (including energy-consuming products and IT acquisitions), and handling of suspect/counterfeit parts. The document details excusable delays, termination conditions, dispute resolution processes (including negotiations, mediation, and arbitration), applicable law (Illinois), and information release restrictions. It also addresses site access, environmental, safety & health (ES&H) requirements, stop-work orders, insurance, and information technology acquisitions. A significant portion incorporates various Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) and Department of Energy Acquisition Regulation (DEAR) clauses, with specific applicability thresholds, ensuring compliance with federal contracting standards.
    This document, PUR-466 Revision 2, outlines crucial proposal certifications for offers submitted to Fermi Forward Discovery Group, LLC (FFDG), applicable to federal government RFPs, grants, and state/local RFPs. It details three tiers of certifications based on proposal dollar value. For proposals ≥ $10,000, Offerors must provide Export/Import Control information and adhere to the Buy American – Construction Materials clause (FAR 52.225-9), which specifies domestic content requirements for construction materials, including iron, steel, and critical components, with varying percentages for U.S. origin. Exceptions and procedures for requesting foreign material use are also described. Rights to Proposal Data (FAR 52.227-23) and Rights in Data-General (FAR 52.227-14) are applicable when a technical proposal is considered, requiring offerors to identify proprietary or limited rights data. Patent Rights (DEAR 952.227-11, 952.227-13) depend on the offeror's entity type (small business, university, nonprofit, or other).
