SUMMARY:  

The Department of Energy (DOE) Acquisition Guide Chapter 5.403, Congressional Notifications, has been updated to clarify the requirement for reporting on Indefinite Delivery-type contracts and Blanket Purchase Agreements (BPAs).


Acquisition Guide Chapter 32.703-3, Time-Limited Funding on Contract Planning, Award, and Administration, is a new chapter. It provides guidance to Contracting Officers on the implications of time-limited funding for contract planning, award, and administration. The guidance is not new; it was formerly in Acquisition Letter Number 2012-06, which is being placed in archive status. This chapter applies to contracts funded in whole or part with time-limited funds.
