Section 889 Part B of the FY 2019 National Defense Authorization Act went into effect on August 13, 2020. This prohibits the Government from entering into a contract (or extending or renewing a contract) with companies that use any equipment, system, or service that uses prohibited telecom as a substantial or essential component of any system, or as critical technology as part of any system, unless a waiver is obtained or an exception applies. Protecting our supply chain is a critical value proposition to our customer agencies.
To support this implementation of 889 Part B, a mass modification was issued for all HCaTS and HCaTS Small Business contracts to include the reporting clause FAR 52.204-25 (AUG 2020). All HCaTS contracts have accepted the modification. Additionally, all HCaTS 8(a) contracts, which were awarded in December 2020, include the reporting clause FAR 52.204-25 (AUG 2020).
We offer a complementary scope review to analyze the scope and pool assignment of your proposed HCaTS (Unrestricted, Small Business, or 8(a)) task order requirement. This scope review will be conducted in an effort to determine if the requirements for the submitted project are within the scope of the HCaTS contract based on the predominant work of the project.

Performance-Based Acquisition can be daunting, and guides on the subject can easily run up to 50, 75 and even 100 pages. That can make learning PBA appear more complicated than it really is. A successful acquisition answers four questions: what do I need, when do I need it, who needs to get it to me, and how do I know it’s good when I get it?
This guide, geared toward the greater acquisition community (especially program offices), breaks down performance-based service acquisition into eight steps. Within the steps you will find information, references, examples, best practices and templates. The steps cover each aspect of a performance-based acquisition and are recommended to be followed in order. However, you may wish to jump straight to the step on which you are working or that which is of most importance to the work you are doing.
