§ 970.0000 - Scope of part.

This part provides Departmental requirements and provisions regarding award and administration of management and operating contracts as defined at FAR Subpart 17.6 and subpart 917.6 of this chapter. Use of a management and operating contract must be authorized by the Secretary, Deputy Secretary, or Under Secretary. For administrative convenience, the subparts of this part are arranged in the same numeric sequence as the parts of the FAR. Thus, for example, requirements regarding small business are found at 970.19 and guidance regarding contract clauses is found at 970.52. To the extent possible the same subpart section and subsection titles of the FAR are applied in this part 970. There are some differences for convenience. When there is no specific guidance of a FAR part/ section or applicability of a FAR part/section to DOE management and operating contracts a subpart or section will not be included.
