Acquisition Regulation: Work for Others

The Department of Energy (DOE) is amending the Department of Energy Acquisition Regulation (DEAR) to provide policy and procedures regarding work for non-DOE entities performed by DOE contractors who manage and operate DOE-owned or -leased facilities. The regulation is also being revised to make an administrative change concerning debarment and suspension officials. The contractor requirements previously found in DOE Order 481.1B, "Work for Others (Non-Department of Energy Funded Work)," are being relocated to the DEAR to ensure that authorization to perform non-DOE funded work is provided by DOE in a consistent and uniform manner. No other change in the DOE's Work for Others policy is being made.
