Clause matrices have been prepared for both FAR and DEAR clauses. The matrices are similar to the FAR Matrix found at www.acquisition.gov. The DOE version leaves off several types of contracts we don’t use frequently such as R&D, leasing motor vehicles, communications services and so forth. It adds two types important to DOE, i.e., management and operating contracts and other facility management contracts. It then adds a very important applicability factor not found on the FAR Matrix, namely, Not Applicable. We believe these matrices should be helpful to the acquisition community. They should be considered another tool for your tool chest. Please report any apparent errors or inconsistencies. Our intent is to update them as changes are made to the FAR or DEAR. We will update the appropriate DOE Acquisition Guide chapters to include these.
