The Department of Labor is requesting comments on a proposed rule to revise the DOL Acquisition Regulations in its entirety to align agency procurement regulations with the Federal Acquisition Reform Act and the Federal Acquisition Streamlining Act.
In a notice of proposed rulemaking published in the Federal Register, DOL submitted to remove redundant or obsolete provisions and codify the use of certain contractual provisions that address matters related to government property, continuity of operations, system requirements, mandatory training for contractors and organizational conflicts of interest.
DOL also seeks to make edits to existing language for clarity and streamlining purposes and remove current DOLAR provisions that are internal operating procedures and do not have a significant impact on contractors or offerors.
The comment period will close on Nov. 6.
