The USDA Cyber Supply Chain Risk Management (C-SCRM) Contract Language document outlines policies and procedures for identifying, assessing, and mitigating supply chain risks across USDA information systems and services. Approved on November 4, 2020, it integrates federal acquisition regulations and NIST guidelines. Key areas include Country of Origin identification, stringent personnel and certification requirements (background checks, cybersecurity training, CMMC), and a comprehensive ICT SCRM Software Development Lifecycle. The document mandates a CDM APL SCRM Plan, addresses counterfeit products, defines handling for end-of-life products, and details protocols for digital delivery, firmware integrity, and malware prevention. It also covers incident response, vulnerability disclosure, audit rights, compliance with Section 889 on prohibited telecommunications, and environmental risk management. Contractors must adhere to these requirements throughout the entire system lifecycle.

This document outlines revised Section 508 Standards for federal agencies procuring Information and Communication Technology (ICT) products or services. It mandates that all ICT must be accessible to people with disabilities, aligning with 36 C.F.R. § 1194.1 & Apps. A, C & D. The standards cover functional performance criteria, software (WCAG Level AA, 502 Interoperability, 503 Application), hardware, and support services. Vendors must provide an Accessibility Conformance Report (ACR) using the Voluntary Product Accessibility Template (VPAT) 2.1 or later, detailing how their proposed solutions meet Section 508 requirements. Offerors must also describe their approach to universal design, plans for non-conforming features, and user scenarios for accessibility testing. The government reserves the right to test ICT items before acceptance and may require remediation if conformance claims are not met. This ensures accessibility for federal employees and the public.
