The DOE Acquisition Guide serves this purpose by identifying relevant internal standard operating procedures to be followed by both procurement and program personnel who are involved in various aspects of the acquisition process. The Guide also is intended to be a repository of best practices found throughout the agency that reflect specific illustrations of techniques which might be helpful to all readers. The Guide is at *http://management.energy.gov/policy_guidance/Acquisition_Guide.htm.*Subpart 901.6 - Career Development, Contracting Authority, and Responsibilities    901.601 General.
