6. Emergency Acquisitions Outside of an EOC Event
- An emergency circumstance is any circumstance requiring that an acquisition be made in order to avoid, eliminate, or reduce imminently hazardous or destructive situations involving persons or property, including the potential loss of important experimental data or hardware.
- If an emergency circumstance arises during normal working hours, employees must contact Procurement or utilize a division PCard to obtain emergency-related materials or services.
- In the event of emergency circumstances outside of normal working hours, when normal acquisition methods are not available, employees are permitted to purchase items that have a low-value price. Acquisitions for high-value items require the approval of the Requester's Division Director. Payments may be completed by either below method:
- Travel Charge Card. When on pre-approved travel status, employees are allowed to use their Berkeley Lab travel charge card for the purchase of low-value items needed in the course of their work under emergency circumstances. The limit on miscellaneous business expenses while on travel is determined by the traveler's division/department based on business need. Reimbursement requires submittal of a travel expense report approved by the original approver of the trip. The required documentation (receipts, etc.) and limits are governed by Berkeley Lab travel policies contained in the Travel Policy.
- Personal Credit Card or Cash. Purchases made for business-related goods or services under emergency circumstances using a personal credit card or cash may be reimbursable by completing a Payment Request, which must be approved by an authorized signer in the Laboratory's Signature Authorization System (SAS). Guidance for completing a Payment Request can be found on the Accounts Payable website. Original receipts are required. See the Payment Requests Policy for more information.
- The individual responsible for making an emergency commitment must notify Procurement no later than the first business day after the occurrence, and provide the following items the same day as the notification to Procurement:
- An approved ePro requisition.
- A written justification for the emergency purchase.
- Legitimate emergency commitments made outside of normal working hours will not be processed as unauthorized commitments as long as appropriate requisitions, approvals, and written emergency justification are provided on the first business day following the occurrence.
- Generally, when the purchase is made in California, the supplier must be advised that Berkeley Lab holds a California state seller's permit, also known as a Resale Certificate, and California state sales tax does not apply. See the Sales and Use Tax (STX) Guidelines document on the Tax Services portion of the OCFO Controller's Office web page for specific information on when taxes would apply.
...
- Entering into purchase commitments, subcontracts, modifying subcontracts, or terminating subcontracts by individuals without delegated procurement authority are considered unauthorized commitments and must undergo a ratification process through Procurement. For more information on the process and what constitutes an unauthorized commitment, see the Know Before You Buy web page on the Procurement website. Some examples of unauthorized commitments include, but are not limited to:
- Committing the expenditure of Berkeley Lab funds by an individual with no delegated procurement authority.
- Requesting or accepting goods or services from a supplier when a subcontract has not been awarded (note: requisitions are not subcontracts).
- Authorizing a supplier to perform work or deliver goods without written, delegated procurement authority.
- Authorizing work that exceeds the total allowable expenditures or that extends beyond the current term of a subcontract.
- Ordering goods or services that are outside of the scope of the subcontract.
- Authorizing an order under a blanket subcontract or master agreement without formal designation in the subcontract or master agreement as having authority to issue orders.
- Improper use of a Berkeley Lab PCard.
- Directing another person to do any of the above, whether intentionally or unintentionally.
- If you suspect an unauthorized commitment has been made, contact the Procurement Help Desk so that Procurement can inform the supplier, notify the responsible individual, and initiate a ratification process. If the commitment is ratified, the procurement specialist will issue a subcontract to the supplier so that work or shipments can commence or continue, and the supplier can be paid.
- Entering into purchase commitments, subcontracts, modifying subcontracts, or terminating subcontracts by individuals without delegated procurement authority are considered unauthorized commitments and must undergo a ratification process through Procurement. For more information on the process and what constitutes an unauthorized commitment, see the Know Before You Buy web page on the Procurement website. Some examples of unauthorized commitments include, but are not limited to:
D.2 Acquisition Planning
There are established acquisition methods for acquiring goods and services, including eBuy, PCard, ePro, and the software download page (software.lbl.gov). Certain expenditures or commitments, such as employee travel, library purchases, and legal services, are governed by established policies and procedures managed by other Berkeley Lab departments.
Before initiating a goods purchase, check the Berkeley Lab's Excess Property list on the Property Management website for the item or material required.
If a purchase is necessary, refer to the Make a Purchase section of the Procurement website for general information on available acquisition methods. Review the Purchasing Guide on the Procurement website for detailed information on the recommended acquisition method for the intended purchase. In addition, divisions may have additional purchasing related requirements.
1. Advance Planning
- The acquisition process starts with advance planning. The level of acquisition planning is dependent on the dollar value and complexity of the proposed subcontract.
- Advance planning is an essential tool for both requisitioning organizations and Procurement because it provides a method for early notification of intended requirements and an understanding of the entire acquisition process from inception through completion. The information gathered at this stage can also be used for budgeting and scheduling purposes. Procurement uses such information for:
- Planning and estimating the work and workload requirements.
- Identifying opportunities for awards to small business concerns.
- Identifying opportunities for competition.
- Consolidating similar requirements on an institution-wide basis.
- Notifying the DOE of actions that may require its approval.
- Acquisition planning also enables procurement specialists to become involved in the acquisition process as early as possible. This early involvement helps ensure that the work meets the mission or program needs.
- The Advance Acquisition Alert form, available on the Procurement Forms web page, shall be used by requesters to notify Procurement of planned acquisitions of $500,000 or more as soon as a need for a subcontract is known. The requester must provide sufficient advance notice to allow for long lead time items, required approvals, and negotiation of terms and conditions. A procurement specialist will be assigned to consult with the requester to plan for the acquisition and appropriately document the acquisition planning decisions. The Small Business Office and the procurement specialist will work with the requester to develop source lists and ensure small business concerns are provided the maximum practical opportunity to participate in the acquisition.
2. Lead Times
...
- The requisition lead time (i.e., the time it takes the requester to prepare and submit a complete and approved requisition package to Procurement).
- The lead time Procurement needs to obtain and evaluate offers; conduct negotiations of pricing and other terms as necessary; obtain required approvals; obtain insurance coverage if required; and award a subcontract for the requirement.
- The subcontractor's performance lead time necessary to deliver the required goods or services.

- All electrical equipment must be approved for use at Berkeley Lab (including remote work locations), or at any subcontractor facility, through the Electrical Equipment Safety Program (EESP). The purpose of the EESP is to ensure the safe installation and use of electrical equipment. Unsafe electrical equipment can pose serious electrocution and fire hazards unless identified by qualified electrical inspectors and remedied by qualified electrical workers.
...
- LBNL policy requires that all electrical equipment greater than 50 volts is listed by a Nationally Recognized Testing Laboratory (NRTL). NRTL-Listed equipment consists of any electrical equipment that has been accepted, certified, labeled, or listed by an NRTL recognized by OSHA.
- NRTL-Listed equipment is automatically considered acceptable, and is approved for use provided the equipment is not modified and is installed and used within the manufacturer's listing intent.
- Electrical equipment (including borrowed or rented equipment) that has not been listed or accepted by an NRTL may not be used until it has been inspected by the authority having jurisdiction (AHJ).
- Fabrications: Equipment or materials unavailable from commercial sources may be fabricated at Berkeley Lab by job order request to Engineering or outside Berkeley Lab through a subcontract. The Budget Office will determine whether a fabrication should be charged to an operations equipment account. Requests for such determinations should be accompanied by a statement explaining the need for the item, a description or drawing, the desired fabrication schedule, and a cost estimate for fabrication or installation.
- Precious Metals: Eight DOE-identified precious metals — gold, iridium, osmium, palladium, platinum, rhodium, ruthenium, and silver — are special treatment items. Precious metals must be acquired through Property Management unless Property Management has informed the requester that its inventory is not sufficient to satisfy the requirement. A Request for Precious Metals form shall be submitted to Property Management by the requester. If inventory of a precious metal is insufficient, the acquisition must be requested by an ePro requisition authorized by a Berkeley Lab career employee. Only Berkeley Lab employees can be precious metal custodians.
- Acquisition of Excess Property from Other DOE/Federal Entities: Berkeley Lab is authorized to obtain used equipment or materials from federal government excess-material lists. Requests for acquisition of excess property are processed by Property Management and require DOE approval. Requirements for equipment or sensitive property must be coordinated with Property Management after, or concurrent with, these consultations. All excess property coming on-site, regardless of purpose, must be cleared by the Environment, Safety, and Health Division prior to use. Requesters should contact their division safety coordinator to facilitate clearance.
- Borrowing and Vendor Lending Agreements

6. Use of the Name of the University of California (UC)
Subcontractors are prohibited from using the name of the UC, the Laboratory, or the DOE in any news releases, advertising, speeches, technical papers, photographs, and other releases of information regarding the subcontractor's work for the Laboratory, except with prior written approval of the Chief Communications Officer. Publications must be submitted to the University Technical Representative for review in accordance with the terms and conditions of the subcontract.

- Contaminated property,
- Property for work to be performed in a foreign country,
- Property where the subcontractor has had previous property control issues and/or its property management system was disapproved,
- DOE property that may be commingled with property belonging to other government agencies or contractors,
- University/government-furnished property that will be incorporated into another piece of property or structure and will lose its identity, or
- Any GFP or SAP that is:
- High-Risk Personal Property, including export-controlled property.

- Proliferation-sensitive property (nuclear-related or dual-use equipment, or equipment, material, or technology used in the research, design, development, testing, or production of nuclear weapons).
- Radioactive property (any item or material which is radioactive or that is contaminated with radioactivity and which emits ionizing radiation in excess of background radiation as measured by appropriate instrumentation).
|
D.4 Solicitations
1. General
- Procurement acquires the majority of goods and services through competitive solicitations. Procurement's involvement in the solicitation process is designed to ensure responsive, reasonable, and fair offers. It also permits discussions and negotiations with suppliers regarding all the terms and conditions of the subcontract and, in some cases, allows an offeror the opportunity to revise its offer before a decision is made regarding subcontract award. Elements to be negotiated may be limited to price, but often extend to other factors, including delivery period, payment schedule, specifications or statement of work, and patent and technical data rights.
- The requester should ensure Procurement is involved early in the acquisition planning process so that solicitations are processed as required.
- Laboratory Procurement personnel will communicate directly with potential suppliers to ensure Berkeley Lab takes into account the terms and conditions or other requirements that might affect the purchase and resulting subcontract.
- As described in Section D.1, Overview, only Procurement personnel and other individuals with delegated procurement authority can solicit offers/proposals from suppliers that may result in the negotiation and award of subcontracts. Any solicitations performed by non-Procurement personnel may require another solicitation be performed by Procurement to ensure responsive, reasonable, and fair offers, thereby delaying the subcontract award. Any information obtained by non-Procurement personnel from a supplier on price, availability, or other product or service-related information is treated strictly as information.
- Solicitations for services must be accompanied by a statement of work that outlines the specific services a subcontractor is expected to perform, generally indicating the type, level, and quality of service, as well as the time schedule required. In rare instances, and at the discretion of the procurement specialist and/or requester, a Statement of Work may be utilized for non-services acquisitions.
- Two different types of solicitations are used at Berkeley Lab to solicit offers for evaluation with the intent of entering into a subcontract: Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) solicitations and Best Value Source Selection (BVSS) solicitations.
- LPTA solicitations are used when the requirement is clearly definable and cost/price is a predominant factor in source selection.
- BVSS solicitations are used when a subcontractor will be selected based on other factors (e.g., technical excellence, methodology, or proposed personnel) and cost/price is not the predominant factor. Performance features and supplier attributes are developed that Berkeley Lab believes are desirable in meeting its objectives for the acquisition. These features and attributes will serve as the basis for the preparation and the evaluation of the offers.
- Evaluation Teams
- For all BVSS solicitations and some LPTA solicitations, Procurement will establish an evaluation team consisting of the requester and other subject matter experts. Evaluation teams are small (normally not exceeding five voting members) and usually have an odd number of voting members, including the procurement specialist chairperson, to provide a tie breaker if needed during the evaluation process. The procurement specialist shall serve as the lead for all evaluation teams.
- The procurement specialist discusses the issue of conflicts of interest with the evaluation team members and reviews the list of offerors for possible conflicts of interest. Non-Procurement evaluation team members are required to sign a Confidentiality and Conflict of Interest Acknowledgment.
- Answers provided to offerors in response to any technical questions must be coordinated between the procurement specialist and the technical representative/requester. The procurement specialist must be privy to, and participate in, all communications between the technical representative/requester and potential offerors during the solicitation phase. Any information given to one potential offeror that would constitute an unfair competitive advantage must be given to all potential offerors. Communications held without the procurement specialist present with any offeror can jeopardize the integrity of the acquisition and could even result in the cancellation of the acquisition, and require a new solicitation be issued, creating significant delays. This scenario can also lead to a protest of the acquisition; see Section D.9, Protests, below.
- During competitive acquisitions, it is important that source selection sensitive information not be disclosed prior to award to those outside the evaluation team if that information was not previously made public to protect the integrity or successful completion of the acquisition. Source selection sensitive information includes, but is not limited to, bid prices, proposed costs or prices, cost or pricing data, offerors' proprietary information, information identified by an offeror as proposal information, source selection plans, technical evaluations, cost or price evaluations, and finalist determinations.
D.5 Evaluation
1. General
- Evaluation of offers/proposals may be as simple as determining the low price on a commercial item or may involve a detailed analysis of technical, management, and cost/price criteria. For many acquisitions, the offers/proposals are evaluated by the procurement specialist and the requester. For more complex acquisitions competed using the solicitation process, an evaluation team will perform the evaluation of offers/proposals in accordance with the criteria set forth in the solicitation.
- Although the procurement specialist is responsible for conducting the evaluation, the requester has an important role in evaluating technical proposals, analyzing quantitative elements, and otherwise advising on Berkeley Lab's negotiation position. Depending on what is being purchased, the procurement specialist may request the assistance of the requester in performing a technical review or a technical analysis of the elements of offers/proposals other than cost/price, as required.
- Technical reviews are performed by the requester to evaluate a technical offer/proposal to determine whether it meets the requirements of the solicitation.
- Technical analyses are performed by the requester for offers/proposals that are more complex or require a cost analysis and involve a more in-depth analysis of the quantitative and qualitative elements of a technical offer/proposal, and potential intellectual property issues. This in-depth analysis is required to determine the need for and reasonableness of the resources proposed in an offer/proposal, assuming reasonable economy and efficiency.
2. Cost or Price Analysis
Using the technical evaluation information provided, along with information from other sources, the procurement specialist will analyze the proposed cost or price to determine if it is reasonable as proposed, or whether further negotiations are warranted.
3. Conducting Negotiations
- The procurement specialist is responsible for conducting all negotiations with offerors. The requester's support may be required to analyze new information or responses provided by the offeror during the course of the negotiations. Working as a team, the procurement specialist and requester seek to obtain the required goods and services at reasonable prices and under reasonable terms.
- Discussions with offerors are particularly sensitive during solicitation, evaluation of offers, and negotiation. Requesters shall not have separate discussions or negotiations with offerors without the involvement of the procurement specialist.
D.6 Noncompetitive Acquisitions
An acquisition is noncompetitive when an offer/proposal is solicited from, and an award is made to, only one source/subcontractor. Berkeley Lab uses the terms "sole source" and "noncompetitive" synonymously in describing the acquisition process followed in such cases.
Berkeley Lab must ensure that it competes its acquisitions to the maximum extent possible, consistent with efficient performance of the program mission and the nature of supplies and services being purchased. Consequently, noncompetitive (sole source) acquisitions should be used only when no other reasonable alternatives exist.
1. Sole Source Justification
- The requester must provide a formal sole source justification for certain types of noncompetitive acquisitions. See the Procurement Sole Sourcing web page for guidance on when a sole source justification is required. The Sole Source Justification form must be used for providing these justifications. See the Procurement Forms web page to download the form.
- Generally, a noncompetitive action may be justified for the following reasons:
- Unique capability, expertise, facilities, or equipment that no other source can provide to satisfy Berkeley Lab's requirements.
- Compatibility with existing equipment and/or standardization of parts.
- Follow-on work for continued development or enhancement of a specialized system, equipment, or services when it is likely that an award to a source other than the incumbent subcontractor would result in substantial duplication of costs (relative to overall costs) that would not be recovered or would cause unacceptable delays in fulfilling the program needs.
- The identified source is acknowledged to be the leader in its field of expertise as demonstrated in reputable and valid literature, symposia presentations, etc. While normally not appropriate for commercial goods and services, this identification may be appropriate in subcontracting for research and development services.
- An unusual or compelling urgency exists that would cause an adverse or programmatic impact (generally related to schedule, security, or regulatory issues, or environmental, safety, or health issues) of such nature and magnitude that a sole source justification is merited if there is a delay in award.
- Required to establish or maintain a source for industrial mobilization or an essential engineering, development, or research capability.
- Authorized or required by statute or international agreement.
- National security or public interest reasons.
- Unique bonding, insurance, or indemnification requirements (appropriate only if subcontractor is a large business).
- Services of an expert or neutral person for any current or anticipated litigation or dispute.
- The requester and the buyer must be in agreement that the justification is appropriate and defensible. The written sole source justification must address the following information, as applicable:
- A description of the items or services to be procured (including any important/unique features and minimum requirements).
- The reason(s) for the request with a narrative explanation of why the subcontractor, University of California (UC) campus, or DOE Facility Contractor is the only qualified source, based on the identified reason(s), including a description of any unique capabilities, experience, expertise, facilities, or equipment
- Separate analysis, including any market research that may have been performed to support the conclusion. Documentation could include proposals received, email correspondence, etc. If market research was performed, a list showing the requirements, each prospective supplier identified/contacted, and all suppliers who did not meet the requirements (and which requirement each failed to meet) is helpful.
- Whether there is potential for follow-on purchase(s) that would have to be from the same source.
- An informal justification may be requested by the procurement specialist, and if requested, must be provided for noncompetitive (sole source) acquisitions under the thresholds listed above.
D.7 Requisition Submittal
Requisitions must be created electronically by a trained requisition preparer (see the Procurement Training & Resources website) in the ePro Purchasing Module of the FMS. Requisition preparers should ensure that requisitions are filled out correctly including assigning the correct item category code and do not include prohibited items as shown on the Restricted Items List. See Section D.1.2, Restricted Purchases, for more detail. Requisitions and changes to requisitions are to be completed using the guidance provided in the ePro 9.2 User Guide.
The purchase of many commodities and services may also require approval by division approvers and various organizations, such as EH&S. ePro automatically routes these requisitions to the appropriate individual or organization based on the value of the requisition and the selected item category code.
Any changes to increase or decrease the funding on a submitted requisition will require resubmission of the requisition.
D.8 Awards
The procurement specialist will determine the type of subcontract that best meets the needs of Berkeley Lab and the federal government.
Procurement personnel with delegated procurement authority will make a subcontract award to the selected supplier(s). In certain cases, multiple awards may be made when not all goods and services can be purchased from one supplier due to supplier capability, pricing, delivery, etc., or when necessary to maintain two or more essential sources of supply. In certain cases, the Procurement personnel may choose not to make an award if all offerors were deemed non-responsive or not responsible, or if the successful offer exceeds available funding.
For modification to awarded subcontracts, see the Post-Award Subcontract Administration policy.
D.9 Protests
Berkeley Lab is required to treat all potential subcontractors fairly and equitably. An offeror or subcontractor who believes it has not been so treated has the option of filing a protest directly with Procurement. A protest can result in suspended work on a subcontract that has already been awarded, or it can delay any further action on a subcontract that is under negotiation but has not yet been awarded.
- The following are examples of situations that could result in a protest:
- A specification or statement of work that unnecessarily restricts competition.
- Program/technical divisions negotiating on their own with an offeror or promising to purchase something from an offeror (a potential unauthorized commitment).
- Information provided to one potential subcontractor that is not available to competing offerors/subcontractors.
- Proposal information from one offeror disclosed to a competing offeror/subcontractor.
- A potential subcontract discussed with anyone not directly involved with the process.
- All communications should be through the procurement specialist and Laboratory Counsel during the course of an active protest.
