Add a dedicated paragraph committing to the Annual Completion Report for the whole TO: draft/final electronic; include activities, complications, deviations to WP, recommendations for future scoping incl. schedule discussion; address all comments prior to final

Task 1.1 Annual Completion Report and Close-out Brief

Closes a potentially material compliance gap; improves technical/risk rating.

Cyber/CUI compliance

Add explicit DFARS 252.204-7012 cyber incident reporting compliance statement (reporting timelines per clause, evidence preservation, subcontractor flow-down) and reference NIST 800-171 system boundary

Proposal instructions Vol II (B)

Makes compliance obvious; improves readability and scoring.

Options print specs

Add option-specific compliance bullets for: Option 1.2 binding/size/pages/PEFC paper/quantities/international shipping; Option 1.7 maps specs; option calendars binding; posters bilingual+materials/sizes

Options 1.2/1.7
