This involves rigorous self-assessments at all command levels to ensure alignment with Army Protection Program initiatives.
Commanders also evaluate subordinate units, scrutinizing training, risk management, and emerging trends to guarantee consistent program implementation. Further strengthening this commitment are comprehensive Holistic Health Assessments (HHAs) conducted every three years. These in-depth evaluations assess an installation's ability to "Prevent, Protect, Mitigate, respond to, and Recover" from various threats. Expert teams, utilize standardized benchmarks, conduct interviews, observations, and on-the-ground measurements across multiple disciplines.

5.3. Service Contract Report (SCR): The Contractor shall report ALL Contractor labor hours (including Subcontractor labor hours) required for performance of services provided under this contract for the Department of the Army via a secure data collection site. The Contractor is required to complete all required data in the System for Award Management (SAM) using the following web address: http://www.sam.gov. Reporting inputs shall be for the labor executed during the period of performance during each Government fiscal year (FY), which runs from October 1 through September 30. While inputs may be reported any time during the FY, all data shall be reported no later than October 31st of each calendar year. As part of its submission, the Contractor shall also provide the estimated total cost (if any) incurred to comply with this reporting requirement.
Steps for Submitting a Service Contract Report (SCR)
1. Go to www.sam.gov and log in.
2. Select Entity Registrations and then select Service Contract Reporting.
3. SAM displays your entities which have service contracts and meet the reporting criteria. Select View by entity to see the service contracts for each entity.
4. Next, select Add for the service contract against which you want to create a Service Contract Report. Each service contract which meets the FAR Subpart 4.1703 reporting thresholds is displayed.
5. You will be taken to the Complete Service Contract Report page. SAM displays the contract details and allows you to report. You are required to enter the following information: Total Amount Invoiced: Total dollar amount invoiced for services performed during the previous Government fiscal year under the contract (this amount should include the prime and any subcontract amount).
• Prime Contractor Hours Expended: Prime contractor direct labor hours expended on the services performed during the previous Government fiscal year. The amount you enter is automatically divided by 2,080 hours to calculate a Full Time Employee (FTE) equivalent, displayed under the Prime Contractor Hours Expended as Prime Contractor FTEs.
6. Report any required Tier 1 subcontractor information by selecting the Add Tier 1 Subcontract Information button.
7. When you are ready to submit the report, select Submit. This saves your report and returns you to the Select Service Contract page where you can create other SCRs or edit an existing SCR.
