A3 CLIMATE CHANGE RISK MANAGEMENT PLAN CRITERIA GUIDE

GSA is seeking to better understand climate related risks to its supply chain and the Alliant 3 Industry Partner’s ability to manage those risks. All other-than-small business concern Industry Partner(s) shall prepare a post-award Climate Change Risk Management Plan that identifies climate-related risks that could negatively impact performance of any resultant task order(s). At a minimum, the Climate Change Risk Management Plan must address the following:

Climate Change Risk Management Plan Criteria

• What is your process for identifying, assessing, and responding to climate-related risks for successful performance or delivery (e.g., migration of smoke from wildfires, increases in precipitation-driven flooding, extreme heat events, and inundation due to sea level rise and storm surge)?

• What inherent climate-related risks have you identified that may have a substantive financial or strategic impact on your business? Provide details of risks identified with the potential to have a substantive financial or strategic impact on your business.

• What is your business continuity plan?

oDescribe your disaster contingency, continuity plans and response protocols for potential event-driven changes (e.g., hurricane, earthquake, flooding, wildfire and etc.) and chronic risks due to longer-term shifts in climate patterns (e.g., changes in precipitation, increased average temperature, and sea level rise).

oDescribe which assets, products, and services would most significantly disrupt operations if they experienced short term acute impacts (i.e. degraded service, loss of service, equipment failure, loss of asset or other unacceptable outcomes).

o Describe which assets, products, and services would most significantly disrupt operations if they experienced gradual long-term cumulative impacts (degraded service, loss of service, equipment failure, loss of asset or other unacceptable outcomes).

Within 12 months after the Notice to Proceed, the Industry Partner must submit to the CO and

COR a Climate Change Risk Management Plan consisting of an overview of actions taken, or opportunities identified, to adapt to the climate-related risks that may have a substantive financial or strategic impact, as identified in the Climate Change Risk Management Plan.

The Industry Partner will be evaluated in CPARS or another contract performance assessment report on its compliance to timely submission of the Climate Change Risk Management Plan and Climate Change Risk Management Plan Follow-up Report.
