Industry Question Government Response
1 We were unable to find DEC 2021 dated versions of the following clauses on acquisition.gov. Can you confirm that we should be looking at the NOV 2021 versions of these clauses (or in the case of 52.225-13, the FEB 2021 version)?
52.203-13 52.225-13 52.232-40 52.209-13 52.204-21
The Government’s contracting writing system did not accurately label the clause effective date on the solicitation. Please use the following effective dates for each respective clause:
52.203-13 – November 2021 52.225-13 – February 2021 52.232-40 – November 2021 52.209-13 – November 2021 52.204-21 – November 2021
2 This RFP contains FAR clause 252.223-7999 (Dev)
Ensuring Adequate COVID-19 Safety Protocols for Federal Contractors (Deviation 2021-O0009) OCT 2021.
However, a recent federal court decision granted a preliminary injunction to temporarily halt the enforcement of the Biden administration’s vaccine mandate for government contractors nationwide. Therefore, the FAR clause appears to not be applicable at this time and some suppliers will not respond to solicitations with this FAR clause invoked. Request removal of the FAR clause, or acknowledgement that the FAR clause applicability will be determined by the courts.
FAR clause 252.223-7999 - Ensuring Adequate COVID-19 Safety Protocols for Federal Contractors (Deviation 2021-O0009) OCT 2021, will be not be enforced under this solicitation.
