Was reviewing DOE's terms for its financial assistance agreements. The new terms now have a clause that requires the recipient to indemnify the government against just about everything. This was not in the 2008 version of its terms. Furthermore I checked the FAR to see if it is required in contracts, and a contractor is only required to indemnify the government for IP infringement (Part 27) and in certain health care contracts.
What changed? Is this statutorily required? Did DOE policy change?

Do we have any DOE members out there who can shed some light on this? Seems like a big change, so it couldn't have happened without multiple layers of review.

Is there no one in the forum from DOE who might know something about this? There's usually no shortage of opinions here.
