Instructions

DRAFT SUPPLY CHAIN RISK MANAGEMENT PLAN TEMPLATE

INSTRUCTIONS
INTRODUCTION:
US adversaries have attacked our nation's supply chains and compromised Federal Government systems, capitalizing on security weaknesses in US companies and third party affiliates. It is incumbent on GSA's industrial base to implement vigilant Supply Chain Risk Management procedures. This IDIQ requires offerors to complete the SCRM Plan Template in the format provided.

The awardees will be required to update the SCRM Plan annually and submit these updates to the COR no later than 30 days after the end of each contract year, over the life of the Master Contract.

TEMPLATE COMPLETION INSTRUCTIONS:
● Provide a contact (name, email, and phone number) for questions, support, or additional information related to the questionnaire to the respondents.
● Please provide your responses in the gray shaded lines of the template under Column C, Vendor Response.
● Please provide a response to each ‘Yes’, ‘No’ question as relevant to the offering.
● If the question does not apply to your organization, please answer ‘N/A’ and provide a supporting statement of applicability if not relevant to the offering in consideration.
● A response of ‘Alternate’ may be used if a particular supply chain risk can be addressed in alternative ways and not directly through compliance with a standard or framework.
● Please attach supporting documents to the completed SCRM Plan Template. You may provide links when submitting if documentation is available online and accessible.
● We recommend designating one primary POC from your organization who will collaborate with the appropriate POCs/teams/vendor/supplier to coordinate and collect and compile responses for each section. The appropriate POCs within each organization will vary and may consist of individuals in informtion technology, acquisition, procurement, supply chain, or security offices. While related, each section is design to be relevant to a different aspect of your organization. This template is intended to gather an initial and consistent baseline and additional follow-up questions from the organization, or other documentation, may be warranted.
