Contract Policy - Remote Requirements and On-Site Review Workspace and Equipment

Remote Requirements and On-Site Review Workspace and Equipment

PMRs are being conducted virtually, unless an Agency has classified contracts that are scheduled to be reviewed.

Reminder: Even if a PMR is 100% virtual, the reviews are conducted by participants as if on Temporary Duty Travel (TDY). Each team member must be available to provide 100% participation and collaboration during the 3-week review over Microsoft Teams (or via conference number) during normal working hours.

Remote Review Requirements

  • Drive/SharePoint for the PMR Team to access all electronic contract files and supporting documentation with a separate area that is restricted to the Team only.
  • A platform, which allows screen sharing, such as Microsoft Teams. This platform will be used during some of the interviews, which require screen sharing.
  • Access to Agencies contracts, Policy sites, etc.

On-Site Review Workspace and Equipment (if applicable)

  • A dedicated, lockable room to accommodate workstations for seven team members (door key provided to PMR Team Lead).
  • The work area will require access to a printer and basic office supplies (white board, markers, pens, note pads, staples, clips, folders, printer paper, ink pens, etc.).
  • Workstations each with a computer, dual monitors (standard size or larger), keyboard, and a mouse.
  • Each computer should grant access to any electronic files that are being reviewed, internal and external regulations, and allow email and internet connectivity.
  • The Team room should have a telephone with internal and external access if cell phones are prohibited.
  • All paper contract files, for review, should be in the room when the team arrives.
  • Two additional private rooms for interviews (during the second week) with telephones for non-collocated employees.
  • The Team will need a dedicated Drive/SharePoint where they can access all electronic contract files and supporting documentation with a separate area that is restricted to the Team only.
  • Access to Agency’s contracts, Policy sites, etc.
  • A platform, which allows screen sharing, such as Microsoft Teams

Security Verification (if applicable/on-site)

  • Agency code for the Defense Information System for Security (DISS) and the name and contact number for two POCs at the Agency being reviewed (PMR POC and Security POC).
  • Verification if the following are required for each team member:
    • DD Form 2875, System Authorization Access Request (SAAR)
    • Social Security Number
  • If on-site parking is not available, then verification of parking area and any cost associated.
