The Director, Office of Dispute Resolution, is available to discuss inclusion of ADR provisions in contracts, to assist in determining whether ADR is appropriate, and to find neutrals for specific disputes. 

In addition, the DOE Board of Contract Appeals is available to mediate disputes between DOE and its contractors, and in some cases between a contractor and a subcontractor, or between subcontractors. 

See Board of Contract Appeals ADR Handbook, version 2.3 (PDF file); DOE Procurement Acquisition letter on using ADR for disputes under the CDA ; ADR provisions in Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR); and ADR Provisions in 48 CFR - CHAPTER 1 - PART 33 (Protests, Disputes and Appeals), 33.214 Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR).
