This is simply stating that staffing that you submit for the contract award is the same staff that is on the contract, unless they are replaced as authorized by the contract and with the appropriate approvals.

This is for System Admin privileged access, this would be MS Certifications and other required network system admin certifications. Columbus ESS runs on Microsoft 2019,22 servers and Windows 10 and 11 workstations. If the contractors are going to work on a Microsoft Server, then they must show that they are qualified with Microsoft certifications for a DLA Server Administrative account.

If they require administrative rights to a Windows workstation then they need Microsoft Windows certifications to receive a DLA Desktop Admin account
