§ 29-1.000 Scope of part.

This part establishes a system of procurement regulations and procedures applicable to procurement of property and services necessary to the operations of the Department of Labor (DOL). This system is based upon the Federal Property and Administrative Services Act of 1949, as amended, and is comprised of the Federal Procurement Regulations (i.e., Chapter 1 of Title 41 of the Code of Federal Regulations and referred to herein as FPR), and Department of Labor Procurement Regulations (i.e., Chapter 29 of Title 41 of the Code of Federal Regulations and referred to herein as DOLPR), which are herein established. This part describes the method and contains the policies and procedures by which DOL implements, supplements, and may deviate from the FPR.

Subpart 29-1.0-Regulation System

§ 29-1.001 Scope of subpart.

This subpart sets forth introductory information pertaining to the DOLPR. It explains the purpose of the DOLPR, the authority under which they are issued, their relationship to the FPR, and their applicability, method of issuance, exclusions, and arrangement. This subpart also outlines procedures for implementing, supplementing, and deviating from the FPR.

§ 29-1.002 Purpose.

This subpart establishes the system for the codification and publication of uniform policies and procedures that shall constitute the DOLPR.

§ 29-1.003 Authority.

DOLPR are authorized by Federal statute and implementing administrative regulations. Specific authority is provided by 5 U.S.C. 301; section 205(c) of the Federal Property and Administrative Services Act of 1949 (40 U.S.C. 486(c)); the FPR; and 33 FR 12600, September 5, 1968 (See § 291.204).

§ 29-1.004 Applicability.

(a) The FPR and DOLPR apply to all DOL procurement (hereinafter referred to as "contracts") including contracts, agreements, purchases, orders, or similar instruments which obligate funds for the purposes of obtaining property and services for the Department of Labor or third parties or for the purpose of promoting Departmental programs or objectives through financial assistance. Unless otherwise specifically stated, DOLPR does not apply to grants.

(b) The DOLPR implement and supplement the FPR. Material published in the FPR, which has Governmentwide applicability, becomes applicable to all DOL contracting upon the effective date of the particular FPR material. Such material generally will not be repeated, paraphrased, or otherwise restated in the DOLPR. The absence of a corresponding part, subpart, section, or subsection in the DOLPR indicates that the FPR, as written, is applicable to all DOL contracts.

(c) Implementing material is that which expands upon related FPR material. It will treat a similarly numbered portion of the FPR in greater detail or indicate the manner of compliance or deviation.

(d) Supplementing material is that for which there is no counterpart in the FPR.
