Contract Management

The Brookhaven Site Office (BHSO) has contract oversight responsibilities over Brookhaven Science Associates, LLC, for the management and operation of Brookhaven National Laboratory.  The Brookhaven National Laboratory is a government-owned, contractor-operated facility.

BHSO’s oversight is strongly tied to the expectation that contractors maintain a credible and rigorous Contractor Assurance System (CAS). To this end, BHSO’s oversight includes both independent, federally staffed oversight of the contractors and a substantial investment in contractor/Site Office-partnered oversight. This strategic focus provides interactions that foster growth in understanding of DOE expectations and discipline, effective utilization of human resources, mutual trust, and success. BHSO has implemented an assurance oversight program designed both to meet the federal requirements of DOE and the Office of Science’s (SC) expectations for implementation of contractor assurance systems at SC laboratories. The major objectives of the program are:

  • Ensure that mission outcomes are accomplished;
  • Ensure compliance with contractual requirements;
  • Affirm the adequacy of contractor assurance systems;
  • Identify novel approaches to partnering to effectively focus oversight resources; and
  • Ensure performance of federal line management responsibilities.
