This is a request for establishment of a new requirement for contractors to submit their contingency plan to ensure continuation of essential contractor services that support mission essential functions during a crisis situation.
This emergency submission is necessary as the 2009 H1N1 influenza pandemic has spread internationally with unprecedented speed, thus requiring immediate action to ensure a continuation of essential contractor services. On June 11, 2009, the World Health Organization raised the worldwide pandemic alert level to Phase 6, the highest level. DoD must ensure the continuation of essential contractor services to prevent impairment to defense systems or operations during a crisis situation. The contractor’s plan communicates that the contractor’s will ensure they are able to continue to meet their obligations under the contract in an emergency for mission critical functions. DoD is amending the Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) to provide contract language supporting the continuation of essential contractor services. If this data collection is not approved under an emergency process, it will impede the Department’s ability to be prepared during crises.
