DFARS 252.204-7012 Safeguarding Covered Defense Information & cyber incident reporting; 252.204-7020 NIST SP 800-171 assessment requirements

Clauses incorporated by reference (Page 24–25)

Proposal does not address CDI handling, system boundary, incident reporting timelines, or NIST 800-171 assessment posture

Gap

If contract involves CDI (even limited), lack of stated compliance approach can create award/performance risk and potential noncompliance.

Add a short 'Information Security/DFARS 7012' paragraph stating how CDI (if any) will be handled, stored, transmitted, and how incidents will be reported; confirm NIST SP 800-171 assessment status if applicable.

DFARS 252.204-7016/7017 covered defense telecom equipment/services representations

Provisions full text (Pages 39–41)

Proposal does not explicitly provide the representation (does/does not) in narrative

Gap

If representations are not completed in the required place (SAM or provision blocks), quote may be noncompliant.

Ensure the solicitation provision representations are completed as required (in SAM annual reps/certs or attached completed provision pages); optionally add a one-line narrative confirmation.

Small business rerepresentation (FAR 52.219-28) for long-term contracts/options

Full text included (Page 25–27)

Add brief acknowledgement: will rerepresent size/status in SAM and notify CO as required upon triggering events.

Covered

No copy shown in text, but explicit assertion of inclusion.

Ensure the submission package actually includes the signed SF1449 and that names/titles/dates are legible and match SAM legal entity.

Add explicit statement: 'Completed survey attached as Appendix X' and ensure all technical/past performance/pricing fields are filled.

Bid schedule completed in entirety; $0.00 for NSP items; no blanks

Explicit instructions; blanks rejected; unit price governs discrepancies

Covered

None noted.

Attach completed bid schedule and include a price summary crosswalk to CLIN/Item numbers 1–5.

Quote submitted via email to Contract Specialist by due date/time

Quote submission instructions require email; late quotes not considered

States directs questions to Contract Specialist pre-award; does not state submission method/timeliness

Gap

No explicit compliance statement that quote will be emailed by deadline (though may be implicit).

Add a short 'Submission Method' statement: 'Quote submitted via email to Alicia N. LaCrosse by solicitation closing date/time'.

Pre-award communications only to Contract Specialist; TPOC not to answer vendor questions

Questions to Contract Specialist; TPOC shall not provide responses to interested vendors

Add statement acknowledging TPOC authority to require removal/replacement of personnel and that it does not relieve performance obligations.

Contractor provides own communications, potable water plan, and restroom plan; Government only provides hose bib/spigot

Add a 'Site Logistics Plan' section stating how potable water, handwashing, and restroom access will be provided for crews, and confirming you will not rely on Government facilities.

No Government space/facilities for equipment storage

Part 2.3

Not explicitly stated

Gap

Could be assumed, but explicit acknowledgement reduces coordination risk.
