This guide describes the DOE Cost and Schedule Control System Criteria (CSCSC) for Contract Performance Measurement and provides DOE and its contractors and other participants with uniform guidance for CSSCSC implementation in compliance with DOE Order 2250.1b. Implementation refers to the application of the CSCSC to specific contracts, the assessment of contractor's management control systems for compliance with the requirement, subsequent DOE systems validation or acceptance verifying the contractor's compliance, and systems surveillance to ensure continued compliance. Any supplemental instructions by individual DOE organizations will be consistent with the DOE Order and with this and other CSCSC guidance documents. A list of related DOE reference is provided in Attachment 2.
