(Updated: 6/11/15)     

Version 2.0.1 incorporates all changes made since the initial draft version issued in 2006, including all changes made with Version 1.1, the 2015 Interim Clause Set, and Version 2.0.

Attached please find the following:
□ Procurement Compendium, Version 2.0.1 (June 2015) in PDF format.
□ Table of Clause (June 2015) in MSWord format for non-SCEIS users. [SCEIS Users - see note below]
□ Table of Clauses – Redline from v1.1 to v2.0.1 (UNDER CONSTRUCTION)

Forms: Forms appearing in the Compendium's appendices are separately posted on this page in MSWord and PDF format under the heading Forms.

SCEIS Users: Effective June 15, 2015, the contents of this version parallel the contents of the database used by SCEIS to generate solicitations using Document Builder. Document Builder must be used to generate every solicitation, including any amendments that containing standard clauses or provisions. The version of the Table of Clauses posted above in MSWord is posted to facilitate use of Compendium clauses by non-SCEIS users, NOT to facilitate the use of clauses by cutting and pasting. When adding clauses (e.g., user-selected clauses), all SCEIS users should do so using the Document Summary tab in document builder. This is the only way to insure you have the latest version of a clause and the only way for user-selected clauses to be automatically added to your MSWord-generated table of contents.

As of May 4, 2015, the update to the SCEIS database of clauses has not been completed, nor have the updates been tested against the original to confirm their accuracy. We anticipate completion of this task this month. In addition, the versions of the Cover Page in SCEIS do not match those appearing in the Compendium. We do not yet have a date on which they will match.
