Subpart 939.70.Implementing DOE Policies and Procedures
939.7000 Scope.
This part sets forth the policies and procedures that apply
to the acquisition of information technology by the
Department of Energy (DOE).
939.7001 Outdated information technology equipment.
Solicitations and contracts for, or using, outdated
information technology equipment shall be submitted to
the Office of Management Systems, Office of
Procurement and Assistance Management for review and
approval. The Office of Information Management shall
review these documents and make the decision whether
to allow the acquisition or use of outdated information
technology equipment.
939.7002 Contractor acquisition of information technology.
(a) Management and operating (M&O) contracts. Except
as provided in paragraph (c) of this section, M&O
contractors and their subcontractors shall not be used to
acquire information technology unrelated to the mission
of the M&O contract either for sole use by DOE
employees or employees of other DOE contractors, or for
use by other Federal agencies or their contractors.
(b) Other than M&O contracts. Where it has been
determined that a contractor (other than an M&O
contractor or its subcontractor) will acquire information
technology either for sole use by DOE employees or for
the furnishing of the information technology as
government- furnished property under another contract,
and after receiving written authorization from their cognizant DOE contracting office pursuant to 48 CFR
part 51, DOE contractors working under
cost-reimbursement-type contracts may place orders
against authorized contracts. All authorizations to
contractors shall expressly and specifically reference the
restriction regarding contractor use of the items acquired,
cited at 48 CFR 951.102(e)(4)(iii).
(c) Consolidated contractor acquisitions. When common
information technology requirements in support of DOE
programs have been identified and it is anticipated that
the consolidation of such requirements will promote cost
or other efficiencies, the Designated Senior Official for
Information Management may authorize an M&O
contractor to acquire information technology for use by
the following:
(1) One or more other contractor(s) performing on-site at
the same DOE-owned or -leased facility as the M&O
contractor, or
(2) Other M&O contractors.
