The MCFSN Pilot Program tested various models throughout the Continental United States (CONUS) and a Joint Service Family Support Network (JSFSN) model in the Pacific Area Region. These pilots, best practices, lessons learned, and feedback from Soldier and Family field questionnaires were used to develop the AOS concept implementation Army-wide.
1.3 Objectives.

The primary focus is identification of services for geographically dispersed Soldiers and Families regardless of component or where they reside. AOS also supports and promotes the Army Family Covenant, Army Community Covenant, Yellow Ribbon Events, Inter-Service Family Assistance Centers and Community collaborations.
AOS serves as a tool to support Soldiers and their Families regardless of their component (Active, Guard, or Reserve) or geographical location.

The Contractor is responsible for complying with wage determination requirements and all other appropriate DOL laws and regulations.
1.8.4 Contracting Officer’s Authority. The Contracting Officer is the only person authorized to direct changes in any requirements under this TO. In the event that the Contractor effects any change at the direction of any person other than the KO, the change will be considered to have been made without authority and solely at the risk of the Contractor.
1.8.5 Contracting Officer’s Representative (COR). At a minimum, two CORs will be identified by separate letter. The KO will appoint a COR at the requiring activity (COR- RA), usually located at the functional program office, and a COR at the enterprise-level, located at the HR Solutions program office (COR-HRS). CORs monitor all technical aspects of the TO and assist in TO administration.
1.8.5.1 COR-RA. The COR-RA is the Government’s technical expert and will be appointed by the KO identified by separate letter. Within the limitations of the appointment, the COR-RA shall provide technical assistance to the COR-HRS, and is authorized to perform the functions as identified in the KO appointment letter. These functions may include: perform or cause to be performed inspections necessary in connection with TO performance and verify that the Contractor has corrected all deficiencies; monitor Contractor's performance and notify the KO, COR-HRS, and Contractor of any deficiencies; coordinate availability of Government furnished property;
and provide site entry of Contractor personnel. The COR-RA will participate in “Interim Progress Reviews” (IPR) with the Contractor and HR Solutions staff. A letter of designation issued to the COR-RA, a copy of which is provided to the Contractor, states the responsibilities and limitations of the COR-RA. The COR-RA is not authorized to change any of the terms and conditions of the resulting TO.
1.8.5.2 COR-HRS. The COR-HRS will be appointed by the KO by separate letter.
Within the limitations of the appointment the COR-HRS is authorized to perform the functions as identified in said appointment. These functions may include: assure that the Contractor performs the technical requirements of the TO; perform or cause to be performed inspections necessary in connection with TO performance and verify that the Contractor has corrected all deficiencies; maintain written and oral communications with the Contractor concerning technical aspects of the TO; issue written interpretations of technical requirements, including Government drawings, designs, specifications;
monitor Contractor's performance and notify both the KO and Contractor of any deficiencies. A letter of designation issued to the COR-HRS, a copy of which is sent to the Contractor, states the responsibilities and limitations of this COR-HRS, specifically with regard to changes in cost or price, estimates or changes in delivery dates. The
COR-HRS is not authorized to change any of the terms and conditions of the resulting order.
1.8.6 Government Technical Monitor (GTM). While a COR is the only officially appointed representative of the KO, given the scope and complexity of some service contracts, other individuals may assist the COR in monitoring a Contractor’s performance against the requirements in the TO. These individuals will be identified as Government Technical Monitors. The most common reason for designating additional technical monitors to support the COR is physical proximity to the Contractor’s worksite, although they may also be appointed because of special skills or knowledge necessary for effective monitoring of the Contractor’s work. When appropriate, the requiring activity will designate GTMs necessary to aid the COR-RA in observing a Contractor’s performance and reporting discrepancies to the COR-RA and/or COR-HRS. The GTM is not authorized to change any of the terms and conditions of the TO.
1.8.7 Type of Contract. This will be a Firm Fixed Price (FFP) task order.

Such procedures shall include turn-in of any issued keys by personnel who no longer require access to locked areas. The Contractor shall immediately report any occurrences of lost or duplicate keys to the COR-RA. In the event a master key is lost or duplicated, all locks and keys shall be replaced by the Government and the Contractor will be held financially responsible for the total cost.
1.9.3.1 Unauthorized Use. If it is found that Contractors have been misusing keys to gain access, or to gain entrance to the work area during non-duty hours, holidays, or weekends and there is no written requirement for access during non-standard working hours, this will be considered an abuse of Government property security. The Contractor shall prohibit the use of Government-issued keys by any persons other than those authorized to use the keys.

1.9.5 Common Access Card (CAC). Contractor employees that require access to Government systems in order to perform services under this TO shall obtain a CAC.
Proof of employment and security clearance / favorable background check is required before an ID CAC will be issued authorizing access to the Installation and Government computer systems. CACs may not be issued to Contractor employees unless a data record authorizing CAC issuance is resident in the Defense Enrollment Eligibility Reporting System (DEERS). The Trusted Agent Sponsorship System (TASS), https://www.dmdc.osd.mil/tass, is a secure and authorized means of entering Contractor data into DEERS in addition to automating the CAC application and approval process.
In order to enter Contractor data into TASS, the Contractor's data must be resident in an authorized source database. The Joint Personnel Adjudication System (JPAS) is that authoritative source. The Contractor's Facility Security Office (FSO) shall ensure its employee(s) has a record in JPAS prior to its employee(s) requesting a CAC be issued.
Contractors without JPAS accounts may request accounts by following the instructions provided in the Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) topic "How do I get a JPAS account (Industry Users)?" found on the JPAS website, https://www.dmdc.osd.mil/psawebdocs/docPage.jsp?p=JPAS.
