Subpart 951.1.Contractor Use of Government Supply Sources
951.101 Policy.
(a) It is DOE policy that contractors performing under
cost-reimbursement contracts should meet their
requirements from Government sources of supply when
these sources are available to them, and if it is
economically advantageous or otherwise in the best
interest of the Government.
951.102 Authorization to use Government supply sources.
(a) The Head of the Contracting Activity may authorize
contractors performing under cost-reimbursement
contracts and subcontractors performing under
cost-reimbursement subcontracts, where all higher tier
contracts and subcontracts are cost-type, to use
Government supply sources in accordance with the
requirements and procedures in FAR Part 51, DOE
PMR 41 CFR 109-26, and any necessary approval
from the agency involved. This authority may be
redelegated to the level of contracting officer. Direct
acquisition by the DOE, rather than by a contractor
under cost-reimbursement contracts, shall be required
where deemed necessary by the Head of the
Contracting Activity in order to carry out special
requirements of appropriation acts or other applicable
laws relating to particular items.
(c)(1) The DOE central point of contact for the
assignment, correction, or deletion of FEDSTRIP
activity address codes is the Office of Property
Management, within the Headquarters procurement
organization.
(e)(4)(iii) Materials, supplies, and equipment acquired
from Government sources of supply under the
procedures described herein must be used exclusively
in connection with Government work, except as
otherwise authorized by the Head of the Contracting
Activity.

1984]
951.103 Ordering from Government supply sources.
(b) The Procurement Executive shall be informed of
instances in which GSA sources of supply are not used
because of the quality of the items available from GSA
or when a Federal Supply Schedule contractor refuses
to honor an order.

951.7002 Responsibilities.
Contracting officers will include in all cost-reimbursable solicitations and resulting contracts, or contract modifications, the provision or clause, as applicable, at 952.251-70 when significant costs involving travel by air carrier, ground transportation by rental car and lodging at a hotel or motel will be required in connection with the performance of the contract. Contracting officers may furnish Government contractors with the identification letter for presentation to contract airline, hotel/motel or car rental firm (see 951.7001 above), depending upon the requirements of the vendor.
