1037.7101 Policy.

As prescribed in 22.2203, insert the following clause:

Contracting Officers (COs) shall include the deliverables discussed in this subpart in the format shown in Attachments 1 and 2 below (in Excel or Word table format) in every solicitation for services and incorporate them into the resulting contract or order.

(a) Initial Staffing Plan (Proposal Deliverable). Offerors shall submit an initial staffing plan using the template at Attachment 1 as part of the technical proposal. The plan shall reflect the proposed labor mix for the base and each option period and identify prime and subcontractor roles.

(1) Prime Performance Threshold Certification. In accordance with FAR 52.219-14, Limitations on Subcontracting, offerors shall certify in their initial staffing plan that the small business prime contractor will perform at least 51 percent of the cost of contract performance incurred for personnel with its own employees or those of other similarly situated small business concerns. The staffing plan shall include a clear breakdown of prime versus subcontractor labor hours and cost by labor category for the base and each option period. This information shall be used by the CO to verify compliance at award.

(b) Post-Award Monthly Workforce Report (Recurring Deliverable). Contractors shall submit the workforce report using the template at Attachment 2 with each invoice submitted.

(1) Monthly Prime Contractor Certification. Contractors shall include with each monthly workforce report a certification signed by an authorized company officer affirming that, based on current performance data, the small business prime and its similarly situated subcontractors collectively performed at least 51 percent of the total contract cost for personnel during the reporting period. This information shall be used by the CO to verify compliance throughout performance.

(c) Protection of PII and Use of Unique Identifier. The monthly report adds limited personally identifiable information (PII) fields (last name, first name, employer name) solely for workforce accountability and access management. To uniquely identify individuals without collecting Social Security Numbers (SSNs), the report shall use a unique identifier to represent the Personal Identity Verification (PIV) card identifier or agency-assigned equivalent. Contractors shall safeguard all PII consistent with agency policy and OMB requirements; encrypt report files at rest and in transit; mark them “CUI//SP-PRVCY;” and limit distribution to the CO, Contracting Officer’s Representative (COR), and designated security and human resource officials.

(d) Timing of Deliverables. COs shall insert the following templates into the solicitation/contract: the initial staffing plan template (Attachment 1) is required at proposal submission; the monthly workforce report template (Attachment 2) is required post-award monthly with each invoice submitted through the life of the contract/order.

(e) Evaluation, Award, and Surveillance. COs, in collaboration with the Treasury Chief Information Officer (CIO), shall evaluate the initial staffing plan for realism, balance, subcontract management approach, and compliance with FAR 52.219-14, Limitations on Subcontracting, consistent with the solicitation’s evaluation criteria. The approved plan becomes a baseline for contract administration and Quality Assurance Surveillance Plan (QASP) monitoring. Material changes to labor categories, employer mix, or level of effort must be coordinated with the CO and documented. COs and CORs shall use the monthly workforce reports to monitor actual prime and subcontractor labor distribution to ensure that the small business prime maintains compliance with the 51 percent performance requirement. Any material deviation from the certified ratio shall be treated as a potential noncompliance with FAR 52.219-14 and addressed through corrective action or contract administration remedies.

(f) Attachments Incorporation by Reference. COs shall incorporate Attachments 1 and 2 by reference in Section J (or equivalent) and reference them in Section F (or equivalent) for delivery schedule.

(g) Additional Information. PRIVACY & SECURITY CONTROLS: Contractors shall limit the monthly report to the fields specified above; do not include SSNs, dates of birth, home addresses, or other unnecessary PII. Reports containing PII must be encrypted, access-controlled, and transmitted via approved secure channels. Mark files “CUI//SP-PRVCY.” Limit distribution of files with PII to the Chief Operating Officer, Chief Financial Officer, CO, COR, and designated security and human resources officials. Any suspected or confirmed breach must be reported immediately to the CO and agency privacy/security officials in accordance with OMB Memorandum M-17-12 and bureau procedures.
