SUBJECT: Acquisition Letter 2015-02 - Revision of Department of Energy (DOE) Order 350.1 and Special H Clause
SUMMARY: The purpose of Acquisition Letter (AL) 2015-02 is to communicate the revisions to Chapter VII, Risk Management and Insurance Programs of DOE Order 350.1, Contractor Human Resource Management Programs (approved on September 30, 2014), and require Contracting Officers to modify applicable contracts no later than January 31, 2015, to include the new STRIPES Special H clause which contains requirements formerly included in the Contractor Requirements Document (CRD) of Chapter VII.
The revisions reflect (1) deletion of requirements and references to the DOE Retrospective Rating Insurance Plan (DOERRIP) since it is no longer available for purchase in the insurance market, (2) the deletion of the CRD contractual requirements since such requirements will now be incorporated directly into the contracts, and (3) administrative changes to reflect existing DOE organizations assigned with areas of responsibilities in Chapter VII.
Modifications to the attached Special H clause, for site specific conditions, are permitted with advance approval by the HCA and
concurrence from the Office of Acquisition and Project Management.
Questions concerning this Acquisition Letter should be directed to the Contract and Financial Assistance Policy Division at doe_oapmpolicy@hq.doe.gov.
