Attachment J-3 – Locality Definitions and Differentials

Attachment J-3

Locality Definitions and Differentials1

The table below contains the list of OPM defined geographic localities for 2020. Select the locality name to see the specific areas included. As described in Section B (paragraph B.8) the adjustment differentials are provided as a guideline for ordering agencies to use when adjusting labor rates on Orders with a place of performance outside the Washington-Baltimore-Arlington, DC-MD-VA-WV-PA area.

The optional adjusted maximum labor rates can be calculated using the following formula:

Master Contract Maximum Labor Rate x Adjustment Differential = Adjusted Maximum Labor Rate

EXAMPLE:

Assuming a Maximum Rate of $100 and performance in the Alaska locality

$100 x 0.994 = $99.40

2020 Locality Definitions Adjustment from Washington-Baltimore- Arlington, DC-MD-VA-WV-PA baseline

Attachment J-4

Cybersecurity & Supply Chain Risk Management (SCRM) References

Security is rapidly emerging as the “fourth pillar” of acquisition in addition to price, performance and delivery. Contractors will be required to comply with existing cybersecurity and supply chain risk management (SCRM) requirements as well as implement new requirements that are established during the period of performance. Furthermore, Contractors should be aware that their cybersecurity and SCRM capabilities may impact their competitiveness as agencies increasingly incorporate cybersecurity and SCRM related requirements, evaluation factors and reporting at the task order level.

Contractors entering into an agreement to provide service to Government activities are subject to information technology security (a/k/a cybersecurity) and SCRM laws, regulations, standards, policies and reporting requirements. Additional and/or tailored cybersecurity and SCRM requirements may be included in individual Task Orders by the issuing agency OCO. The Contractor shall ensure that all applicable Commercial-Off-The-Shelf (COTS) and enabled products comply with ordering agency cybersecurity and SCRM requirements.
