2. CANCELLATION. DOE O 580.1, Chg 1, Department of Energy Personal Property
Management Program, dated 05-08-08.
Cancellation of a directive does not, by itself, modify or otherwise affect any contractual or
regulatory obligation to comply with the directive. Contractor Requirements Documents
(CRDs) that have been incorporated into a contract remain in effect throughout the term of
the contract unless and until the contract or regulatory commitment is modified to either
eliminate requirements that are no longer applicable or substitute a new set of requirements.
3. APPLICABILITY.
a. Departmental Applicability. This Order applies to all DOE elements with personal
property management responsibilities.
Each organizational entity is responsible for ensuring personal property items that
may reveal classified or controlled unclassified information (i.e., Official Use Only
or Unclassified Controlled Nuclear Information) are managed and controlled in
accordance with the requirements found in other DOE directives or Agency
regulations, to include those specified in the References section.
The Administrator of the National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) must
assure that NNSA employees comply with their responsibilities under this directive.
Nothing in this directive will be construed to interfere with the NNSA
Administrator’s authority under section 3212(d) of Public Law (P.L.) 106-65 to
Section 4
establish Administration specific policies, unless disapproved by the Secretary.
b. DOE Contractors. Except for the equivalencies/exemptions in paragraph 3.c., the
CRD sets forth requirements of this Order that will apply to contracts that include
the CRD. The CRD must be included in all contracts for the management and
operation of Department-owned facilities. The CRD or its requirements must be
included in non-Management and Operating (M&O) contracts that require
management of DOE-owned or leased personal property.
2 DOE O 580.1A
3-30-2012
c. This Order does not apply to classified property, nuclear weapons, nuclear material
as listed in DOE O 474.2, intellectual property, internal use software, records and
information, motor vehicles, or real property.
d. Equivalencies/Exemptions for DOE O 580.1A.
(1) Equivalency. In accordance with the responsibilities and authorities assigned
by Executive Order 12344, codified at 50 USC sections 2406 and2511, and to

ASTM International, or Industry Leading Practices (ILP), are to be used to the
greatest degree practical for the management of personal property, as deemed
appropriate by the Organizational Property Management Officer (OPMO).
b. Identification.
(1) Wherever practical, and in consultation with the OPMO, property must be
identified or tagged as U.S. Government property (or U.S. DOE).
(2) Government tags must be removed or permanently covered to the extent
practical before formal release from DOE inventory.

maintained current in a property management system of record from inception
to formal disposition and removal from DOE inventory.
(2) Other Accountable Property. Accountable property records may also be
established for items that do not otherwise meet the accountable property
threshold or sensitive/high risk definitions or precious metals, when the OPMO
has determined that, notwithstanding its acquisition cost, an item must be
controlled and managed to protect against unauthorized use, disclosure, or loss;
DOE O 580.1A 3
3-30-2012
or whenever required by law, policy, regulation, or agency direction. Examples
of such property considerations include:
(a) Property containing Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI), as
determined by the site’s cyber security Risk Management Approach
or appropriate program management; and
(b) Pilferable items, i.e., designated by each organizational entity, as
especially subject to loss, and if unaccounted for, present a significant
concern for disruption to mission operations.

CONTRACTOR REQUIREMENTS DOCUMENT
DOE O 580.1A, DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY PERSONAL PROPERTY MANAGEMENT
PROGRAM
Regardless of the performer of the work, the contractor is responsible for complying with the
requirements of this CRD. The contractor is responsible for flowing down the requirements of this
CRD to subcontractors at any tier to the extent necessary to ensure the contractor’s compliance
with the requirements.
1. The contractor must establish, implement, and maintain a cost-effective, risk-based personal
property management program to manage personal property from receipt, to use, to final
disposition processing by acceptable means. For Management and Operating contracts, the
program must be in accordance with 48 CFR 970.5203-1, and integrated with the
contractor’s broader assurance system, as appropriate.
2. Contractors may use Voluntary Consensus Standards (VCS), such as ASTM International,
or Industry Leading Practices (ILP), to the greatest degree practical for the management of
personal property, as deemed appropriate by the Property Administrator (PA)/Organizational
Property Management Officer (OPMO).
3. Contractors are responsible for ensuring personal property items that may reveal classified
or controlled unclassified information (i.e., Official Use Only or Unclassified Controlled
Nuclear Information) are managed and controlled in accordance with the requirements found
in other DOE directives or Agency regulations, to include those specified in the References
section.
4. This CRD does not apply to classified property, nuclear weapons, nuclear material as listed
in DOE O 474.2, intellectual property, internal use software, records and information, motor
vehicles, or real property.
5. The contractor’s graded approach to the risks presented by various types of personal property must
meet the minimum requirements defined below for each property type. The contractor must
identify additional controls as appropriate.
a. Identification.
Whenever practical, Government personal property must be identified or tagged as
U.S. Government property (or U.S. DOE property). The contractor must remove or
permanently cover, to the extent practical, tags before formal release from DOE
inventory.
b. Accountable Property.
(1) Accountable Property. Accountable personal property is any property item
having an original unit acquisition cost of $10,000 or more; or meeting the
sensitive property/High Risk Personal Property (HRPP) definitions, or precious
metals. Accountable property records must be managed and maintained current
Attachment 1 DOE O 580.1A
Page 2 3-30-2012
in a property management system of record from inception to formal
disposition and removal from DOE inventory.
(2) Other Accountable Property. The contractor may designate other property as
accountable if it is determined that the items must be controlled and managed
to protect against unauthorized use, disclosure, or loss; or when otherwise
Section 14
required by law, policy, regulation, or agency direction.
(3) Capitalized Property. The capitalization threshold for items acquired prior to
October 1, 2011 is $50,000. For items acquired on or after October 1, 2011,
the threshold is $500,000. Capital equipment is to be managed in accordance
with the DOE Financial Management Handbook.
(4) Accountable Property Records. The contractor must maintain a property
system of record for accountable personal property. Accountable property
records must include, at a minimum:
(a) Property Control Number (item unique identification),
(b) Contract number or equivalent,
(c) Receipt or acceptance date,
(d) Description,
(e) Manufacturer and model number, serial number and/or National
Stock Number,
(f) Unit acquisition cost (and as appropriate, depreciated value),
(g) Quantity and unit of measure (e.g., received, fabricated, issued, or on
hand),
(h) Owner (custodial or organizational),
(i) Location,
(j) Use status (active, storage, excess, retired, etc.),
(k) High Risk designation, export control jurisdiction, and relevant export
regulation citation, as applicable,
(l) Condition code.
c. Sensitive Property.
(1) The contractor must develop and maintain a list of personal property items
considered sensitive, unless the item is otherwise managed by other policy or
DOE O 580.1A Attachment 1
3-30-2012 Page 3
agency regulation. The contractor must annually submit a Sensitive Items List
to the OPMO, or individual as delegated by the Contracting Officer (CO), for
acceptance. Refer to the “Sensitive Property” definition in Attachment 2 to
develop the sensitive item list.
(2) The contractor must identify, based on risk and in collaboration with the
appropriate groups in their organization, appropriate physical inventory, use
and disposition controls for sensitive items.
d. High Risk Personal Property.
(1) This CRD only applies to a specific subset of HRPP (reference 41 CFR 109)
defined below.
(2) Personal Property meeting the definition of HRPP is found in Attachment 2.
This includes property used in the nuclear fuel cycle, firearms, ammunition and
explosives, nuclear weapon components or nuclear weapon-like components
that do not contain nuclear material as listed in DOE O 474.2, items on the
Department of Commerce Control List, and items on the Department of State
U.S. Munitions List.
(3) HRPP must be identified at acquisition or, if modified, whenever it comes
under U.S. export controls that makes it HRPP, and must be controlled
through disposition.
(4) The contractor must conduct reviews for classification and controlled
unclassified information (i.e., Official Use Only and Unclassified Controlled
Nuclear Information) in accordance with the applicable DOE directives and
Agency regulations to include those specified in the References section.
(5) Firearms, Ammunition, Pyrotechnics, and Explosives. Organizations with
approved use of firearms, ammunition, pyrotechnics and explosives, and their
associated components must have processes in place to ensure safe handling,
storage, inventory control, and maintenance of this HRPP. Refer to Paragraph
5.h. (Loaning Personal Property) for loaning of firearms.
(6) Nuclear weapon components or nuclear weapon-like components that do not
contain nuclear material as listed in DOE O 474.2, and Trigger List items
that are to be permanently buried must follow the requirements in
DOE O 471.6 and other applicable agency directives. Items buried must be
Section 15
reported as retired in the property system of record.
(7) The contractor must meet the property disposition requirements for HRPP in
Paragraph 5.j.(4)(c).
Attachment 1 DOE O 580.1A
Page 4 3-30-2012
e. Precious Metals Management.
Protocols for the control, utilization and disposition of precious metals must include
the establishment of stringent physical protection from receipt to final disposition.
(1) Unused or unneeded precious metals are to be returned to the DOE applicable
business center.
(2) Unused or unneeded precious metals not returned to the DOE applicable
business center are to be justified annually in writing and approved by the site
manager or designee. A copy of all justifications is to be provided to the
cognizant OPMO or individual as delegated by the CO.
(3) When requested, provide the DOE applicable business center a forecast of
anticipated withdrawals and returns of precious metals.
f. Administratively Controlled Items.
Administratively controlled items, although not accountable personal property, merit
deliberate internal controls to prevent loss, theft, unauthorized removal, and abuse.
g. Physical Inventories.
(1) The contractor must regularly conduct physical inventories of accountable
personal property in their custody to ensure safeguards and demonstrate
accountable property record accuracy. The contractor must align the
scheduling, type, method, and scope of the physical inventory process with
management expectations and risk.
(2) Sensitive Property and Precious Metals inventories must be conducted at least
annually with an inventory accuracy target of 100%. The inventory method
selected is to be accepted by the OPMO or individual as delegated by the CO.
(3) HRPP inventories must be conducted at least annually. However, when a
complete physical inventory (existence testing) is not appropriate, a sampling
method can be used on a graded approach based on the assessed risk (safety
considerations, restricted access, exposure to contamination, etc.). The
inventory method must be accepted by the OPMO, or individual as delegated
by the CO, and take into consideration the property condition, classification,
and location (excludes firearms, ammunition, pyrotechnics, and explosives).
(4) Firearms, ammunition, pyrotechnics and explosives must be inventoried at least
annually with a target inventory accuracy of 100%. The contractor may use
inventory requirements as outlined in DOE O 473.3, Protection Program
Operations, Appendix A, Section F.7, Inventory of Firearms, Ammunition,
Pyrotechnics and Explosives.
DOE O 580.1A Attachment 1
3-30-2012 Page 5
(5) Capital Accountable Property. Conduct inventories at least annually for assets
with an original acquisition cost of $500,000 or greater with an accuracy
target of 100%. The inventory method must be accepted by the OPMO or
individual as delegated by the CO.
(6) Other Accountable Property. Conduct inventories at least every three years
with an accuracy target of 98%. The inventory method must be accepted by the
OPMO or individual as delegated by the CO.
(7) Stocks, Stores, and Administratively Controlled Property. Conduct inventories
on a frequency per the OPMO or individual as delegated by the CO.
(8) Inventory Methods. Physical inventories may take different forms, including
wall-to-wall, cyclic, sampling, and “by exception” methodologies (use of
actions or transactions as an inventory event). Sampling may be used, where
Section 16
appropriate, provided they achieve statistically valid results.
(9) An independent group must validate the results of physical inventory.
(10) The contractor must reconcile the results with the financial records, as
applicable.
(11) The contractor must submit inventory results and requested write-offs of
personal property not found (Refer to Paragraph k., Documentation of
Property Retirements) to the OPMO or individual as delegated by the CO, for
acceptance within 60 days after concluding the inventory. If the contractor
operates within acceptable tolerance for inventory accuracy, the contractor’s
performance must be considered acceptable. If the contactor does not operate
within acceptable tolerances, the contractor must use a graded approach to
identify opportunities for improvement.
h. Loaning Personal Property.
(1) The contractor may loan Government personal property if the loan meets the
following criteria:
(a) Not excess.
(b) Used to perform research, studies, and other efforts that result in
benefits to both the U.S. Government and the borrower.
(c) Used by local agencies in support of health, safety, or security
requirements upon appropriate Departmental notification of

direct safety or protection support to the DOE facility. The OPMO, or
individual as delegated by the CO, must approve the need to loan firearms.
(4) The OPMO or individual as delegated by the CO must approve domestic
loans.
i. Loss, Damage or Destruction of Personal Property.
(1) Loss (to include theft), damage, or destruction of DOE personal property is to
be promptly reported to the OPMO or individual as delegated by the CO, and
as appropriate, to law enforcement organizations, in accordance with local
procedures and DOE O 470.4B, Safeguards and Security Program.
(2) Loss reporting is essential to the accountable property record audit trail, and is
required to formally reconcile accountable property records when loss has
been experienced.
(3) The contractors may use the ASTM International VCS, E 2131-09 Standard
Practice for Assessing Loss, Damage, Destruction of Property, or other
comparable standards. If the ASTM standard is used, the acceptable loss,
damage, and destruction ratios listed in the standard apply unless appropriate
DOE offices require the use of different ratios.
j. Disposition of Property.
(1) The contractor must submit reportable DOE excess personal property for
Departmental reutilization using the Energy Asset Disposal System (EADS).
Specific guidance on access to this system can be found in DOE Guide

DEFINITIONS
This Attachment provides definitions associated with DOE O 580.1A as well as information
and/or requirements applicable to contracts in which the associated CRD (Attachment 1 to
DOE O 580.1A) is inserted. Alternative definitions maybe applicable to specific contracts,
financial assistance agreements, or other agreements between DOE and a third party.
(a) Acceptance - For the purpose of this document, a Government review of contractor
processes, systems or products, so as to determine compliance with contract requirements
or specifications.
(b) Approval - For the purpose of this document, a formal Government approbation or
permission to proceed with contract performance, as defined by the contract.
(c) Administratively controlled items - Personal property items for which there is no
Departmental requirement for formal property records to be maintained; not subject to
inventory.
(d) Cannibalization - To remove serviceable parts from one item of equipment in order to
install them on another item of equipment (48 CFR Subpart 45.101).
(e) Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) - Unclassified information that is controlled
within DOE because its release could cause damage. CUI within DOE encompasses
Official Use Only (OUO) and Unclassified Nuclear Information (UCNI). OUO includes
information such as Personally Identifiable Information, Export Controlled Information,
proprietary information, and other information not covered by other DOE directives. CUI
is also a developing Government-wide policy governed by Executive Order 13556,
Controlled Unclassified Information, which will mandate uniform standards for the
control of unclassified information within the Government.
(f) Equipment - A tangible asset that is functionally complete for its intended purpose,
durable, nonexpendable, and needed for the performance of a contract. Equipment is not
intended for sale, and does not ordinarily lose its identity or become a component part of
another article when put into use (48 CFR Subpart 45.101).
(g) Explosive - Any chemical compound or mechanical mixture which is designed to
function as an explosive, or chemical compound which functions through self-reaction as
an explosive, and which, when subjected to heat, impact, friction, shock, or other suitable
initiation stimulus, undergoes a very rapid chemical change with the evolution of large
volumes of highly heated gases that exert pressures in the surrounding medium. The term
applies to materials that either detonate or deflagrate. DOE explosives may be dyed
various colors except pink, which is reserved for mock explosive.
(h) Hazardous Property - Personal property that is deemed a hazardous material, chemical
substance or mixture, or hazardous waste under the Hazardous Materials Transportation
Act (HMTA) (49 U.S.C. 5105); the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA)
(42 U.S.C. 6901-6981); or the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA)

(i) High Risk Personal Property – High Risk Personal (HRPP)-Property that, because of its
potential impact on public health and safety, the environment, national security interests,
or proliferation concerns, must be controlled and dispositioned in other than the routine
manner. This order provides accountability and control requirements for only the following
categories of HRPP: especially designed or prepared property; export controlled property;
hazardous property; radioactive property; nuclear weapon components or weapon-like
components that do not contain nuclear material as listed in DOE O 474. 2; proliferation
sensitive property; and firearms, ammunition, pyrotechnics, and explosives. For the
purposes of this order, HRPP does not include nuclear material within the scope of
DOE O 474.2.
(j) Munitions List – Property designated as defense articles listed in 22 CFR part
121.1 pursuant to the Arms Export Control Act.
(k) Notification - for the purposes of this document, formal notice by the contractor, to the
government, to the approach selected and/or implemented to meet a specific contract
requirement.

equipment and materials described in International Atomic Energy Agency Information
Circular 254 Part 2.
(m) Nuclear Suppliers Group Trigger List Property - Equipment and materials, designed
or prepared especially for use in the nuclear fuel cycle, and described in International
Atomic Energy Agency Information Circular 254 Part 1.
(n) Personal Property - Includes all equipment, material, and supplies not classified as real
property (Refer to 41 CFR Chapter 102-71). For the purposes of this order, the term
excludes records of the federal government.
(o) Personal Property Management – The system of acquiring, maintaining, using and
