Information about our procurement strategy
The US ITER Project Office based at Oak Ridge National Laboratory conducts its tendering process for in-kind design and equipment contributions in accordance with U.S. law and policy, our contract with the U.S. Department of Energy, and the appropriate procurement arrangement with the ITER Organization. Most acquisitions are conducted as competitive, best-value procurements, with evaluations based on technical and price factors. Awards are made to financially responsible, technically responsive, and capable suppliers.
Typical technical factors for evaluation include the level of understanding and capability of meeting requirements, the supplier’s quality program, and past performance/previous experience.
