c. Field Office Managers/Deputy Field Managers or Designee (e.g. Business

Appendix 1 BOP 540.6
APJ-4 5-11-17
individuals responsible for initiating an action do not coordinate on or
approve the action.
(2) For contract actions for which they have cognizance, perform the duties
specified in applicable acquisition regulations as being performed at a
level above the Contracting Officer or a level above the Substantial
Preparer, as applicable.
(3) Perform the "Manager/Field Office" duties specified in Exhibit I (Note:
Some actions may require a Contracting Officer Warrant).
d. The Office of the General Counsel, NA-GC (or, in cases where the contracting
action originates at a field office, the Field Office Counsel), will provide a single
set of coordinated advisory comments regarding legal, fiscal, and patent input.
e. Contracting Officers, Office of Acquisition Management, NA-APM-10, APM, or
Field Offices:
(1) Ensure contract actions represent good business decisions for NNSA and
reflect high quality work products.
(2) Ensure that contract actions are reviewed and receive the level of
coordination and approval as required in Exhibit 1 of this BOP.
(3) Ensure that copies of all necessary file documentation and any additional
supporting documents are submitted through the Non M&O Policy and

Branch, NA-APM-123, for submission to the HCA or the SPE, as
applicable.
(4) Plan the solicitation, evaluation, and award of contract actions in a manner
that precludes the need for expedited coordination and approval.
(5) Resolve comments at each level prior to submission to the next higher
level for review. After legal review takes place, if substantive or
fundamental changes are made to the package as a result of subsequent
reviews, the reviewing attorney will be notified of the changes to ensure
the legal sufficiency of the action is not impacted. Ultimately, the
Contracting Officer is to ensure this notification takes place prior to
issuance of the action.
(6) The Contracting Officer has the authority to resolve comments, unless
approval at a higher level is required, in which case, the approval authority
that must agree with the disposition of comments.
(7) Ensme that contract and financial assistance actions have been fully
coordinated through appropriate functional experts as necessary prior to

(f) contractor human resources,
(g) small business issues,
(h) environmental, safety and health (ES&H),
(i) National Environmental Policy.Act (NEPA),
U) DOE special authorities (e.g., barter, loan, guarantees), and
(k) NNSA implementation of DOE Order 413.3B "Program and
Project Management for the Acquisition of Capital Assets," or
successor Order, as applicable.
(8) Contract actions shall not be executed until all the appl'Opl"iate
coordination and approval steps in this BOP have been flCComplished.
Where the review from a particular element is only to be conducted on a
random basis (as opposed to 100% of the time), there will be a footnote
stating such (see the NNSA CAP Table at Exhibit 1). In this event, the
Non M&O Policy and Oversight Branch will utilize a sampling plan to
determine whether the individual action will be randomly selected for
review unless excluded as noted by the footnotes (e.g., Constrnction &
A&E actions, Source Selections). Otherwise, all coordination and
approval requirements are mandatory l 00% of the time for that category
of action unless exempted from review by the footnotes ( e.g., subcontracts
that fall within the approved Field Administrative Contracting Officer
approval thresholds).

through a sampling plan, developed by the reviewing office, and approved by the
HCA. The review will take into account the contract and its terms and condJtions,
the Contractor and their associated performance history, Procurement System,
historical subcontract reviews, Inspector General Reports, Unallowable Cost
History/Issues, Statement of Costs Incul'l'ed Issues, repeat issues addressed in any
of the referenced reports or Contracting Officer letters, and/or risk issues.
