    Dept Of Defense
    Special Notice: DEPT OF DEFENSE - DEPT OF THE ARMY This notice provides an update on the implementation of Executive Order 14042 by the ACC-APG Division D of the DEPT OF DEFENSE. The initial guidance issued by OMB on December 1, 2021, has been rescinded due to a court order. Another court has issued a nationwide injunction that bars enforcement of the Executive Order in any state or outlying area of the United States. OMB has formulated updated guidance to be applicable even if the existing court orders change or new orders are issued. Under the updated guidance, the Government will not enforce the clause implementing requirements of Executive Order 14042 in U.S. states or outlying areas subject to a court order prohibiting its application. However, the Government will enforce the clause in all other circumstances, except for contractor employees who perform substantial work in an Excluded State or Outlying Area or in a covered contractor workplace located in such areas. A current list of Excluded States and Outlying Areas can be found at https://www.saferfederalworkforce.gov/contractors/. It is important to note that the court orders only apply to the application of requirements pursuant to Executive Order 14042. The Safer Federal Workforce Task Force's guidance for COVID-19 workplace safety protocols for Federal agencies remains unchanged. Federal agency workplace safety protocols for Federal buildings and Federally controlled facilities still apply in all locations. For any questions, please contact Jeff Schoerner at Jeffrey.a.schoerner.civ@army.mil.

    Special Notice: HOMELAND SECURITY, DEPARTMENT OF has issued a notice regarding the DHS FY 2023 Annual Posting of Buy American Act Domestic Nonavailability Waiver Actions. This notice aims to promote and enhance awareness of the Buy American Act (BAA) and its impact on the U.S. economy. During Fiscal Year 2023, DHS executed 1,050 contract actions valued at $67,480,499.71 using the domestic nonavailability exception under the BAA. This represents approximately 1.83 percent of the annual DHS procurement obligations for the fiscal year subject to compliance with the BAA. The majority of these actions were awarded by the U.S. Coast Guard (USCG) for various items such as miscellaneous aircraft accessories and components, airframe structural components, helicopter rotor blades, drive mechanisms, and components, tubing, and hardware. These items are considered "spare and replacement parts for equipment of foreign manufacture, and for which domestic parts are not available." The USCG needs these parts to maintain and service aircraft and other assets, and they often have to acquire them from foreign original equipment manufacturers (OEMs). Overall, this notice highlights the use of domestic nonavailability waivers under the BAA in DHS procurement actions, particularly by the USCG for acquiring necessary parts for aircraft and other assets.

This guidance was updated by OMB memorandum M-23-16, which extended the due dates for attestation collection and announced metrics collection for waivers and extensions. To comply with Executive Order 14028 and the OMB memorandums, the EPA will update its processes for approving software, including the requirement of vendor attestations. The agency anticipates collecting attestations for "critical software" three months after OMB Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) approval of the common form. For all other software, attestation letters will be collected six months after OMB PRA approval of the common form. The EPA will begin collecting attestation letters as part of pre-award and post-award contract deliverables once final OMB guidance is received regarding the use of the common form for all impacted software. For more information, please refer to Executive Order 14028, OMB memorandum M-22-18, and M-23-16. Any questions can be submitted to SCRM@epa.gov.
