Revision to the Department of Labor Acquisition Regulations

Zusammenfassung

This document sets forth a revised Department of Labor Acquisition Regulation (DOLAR). The Department of Labor Acquisition Regulation implements and supplements the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR). The DOLAR was last revised in 1986, and is significantly out-of-date. The regulation has been substantially revised to: Update references to obsolete policies, procedures, and organizations; incorporate electronic links to reference such as revised provisions of the FAR, U.S. Code, and the Code of Federal Regulations; incorporate Office of Federal Procurement Policy Letters, and Executive Orders; and establish revised procedures that follow current established best practices. The DOLAR provides a definition for "Agency Head", which is inconsistent with the internal Department of Labor Manual Series (DLMS) Chapters 2-800 and 2-900 that establishes DOL procurement operating procedures and policies. Future changes to the DLMS will comport with this definition.
