Effective February 10, 2023, individuals in DOE schools and buildings are no longer required to show proof of vaccination against COVID-19. This means that COVID-19 vaccination is now optional for employees of DOE vendors. As a reminder, COVID-19 vaccination is still the best tool we have to reduce COVID-19 risk, and we encourage individuals to stay up-to-date with vaccination, including boosters.

Negotiated Services
We encourage competition because it provides the greatest assurance that goods and services are procured in a prudent and economical manner. Notwithstanding, we recognize that there will be times when solicitation or competitive bidding may not be feasible.
