SUMMARY:  

The purpose of this flash is to remind all acquisition personnel of the departmental policy concerning implementation of the Indian energy preference provision in EPAct 2005.

On February 5, 2013 Acquisition Letter (AL) 2013-02 was issued to provide detailed guidance on the implementation of the subject preference provision at DOE. The content of this AL was then further added to Acquisition Guide 41.2, “Utilities” on August 17, 2017.

This policy is still in effect, and all personnel responsible for purchasing energy are encouraged to consider use of this preference provision.
