This document outlines supplemental contract requirements for contractors providing services during the COVID-19 pandemic at Department of Veterans Affairs facilities. Contractors must ensure all employees working in or traveling to VA locations are fully vaccinated against COVID-19 or show proof of a negative COVID-19 test within three days prior to entry. Documentation of vaccination or test results must be maintained but will not be collected by the VA. Additionally, contractor employees are subject to daily COVID-19 screening protocols including temperature checks and questions from the VA's COVID-19 Screening Tool prior to entry. Those failing the screening may be denied access. The contractor must notify the contracting officer if contract performance is impacted due to denied entry of employees. These supplemental requirements apply to both new and existing contracts when performance is ongoing.
