for Determining Workforce Mix, are addressed. Also—</p>
         <p id="zjKbiM" outputclass="List6" class="- topic/p ">(<i class="+ topic/ph hi-d/i ">1</i>) Acquisition planning
must consider whether a contract is likely to be performed in crisis
situations outside the United States and must develop appropriately
detailed measures for inclusion in the contract. Combatant commanders
establish operational plans identifying essential services that
must continue during crisis. DoDI 1100.22 requires Combatant Commanders
to develop contingency plans if they have a reasonable doubt that
a contractor will continue to provide essential services during
a mobilization or crisis. When planning the acquisition, consider
these operational plans and the resources available to carry out
these plans.</p>
         <p id="REPqcv" outputclass="List6" class="- topic/p ">(<i class="+ topic/ph hi-d/i ">2</i>) During acquisition
planning, identify which services have been declared so essential
that they must continue during a crisis situation. A best practice
is to create a separate section, paragraph, line, or other designation
in the contract for these essential services so they can be tracked
to an option or separate contract line item.</p>
         <p id="HOHBYS" outputclass="List6" class="- topic/p ">(<i class="+ topic/ph hi-d/i ">3</i>) The requirements
for the contractor written plan for continuity of essential services
and the criteria for assessing the sufficiency of the plan will
be determined/tailored for each acquisition of essential services by
the contracting officer in coordination with the functional manager.
The contractor's written plan, including prices/cost, shall be considered
and evaluated in conjunction with the technical evaluation of offers.</p>
         <p id="ohcBpG" outputclass="List6" class="- topic/p ">(<i class="+ topic/ph hi-d/i ">4</i>) Operational-specific
contractor policies and requirements resulting from combatant commander
“integrated planning” will be described in operation plans (OPLAN),
operation orders (OPORD) or separate annexes, and must be incorporated
into applicable contracts. The plans may include rules for theater
entry, country clearance, use of weapons, living on-base, etc. Therefore,
the requiring activity is responsible for obtaining pertinent OPLANs,
OPORDs, and annexes (or unclassified extracts) from the affected
combatant command or military service element or component and for
ensuring that the contract is consistent with the theater OPLAN
and OPORD.</p>
         <p id="ckDDEu" outputclass="List6" class="- topic/p ">(<i class="+ topic/ph hi-d/i ">5</i>) Ask the requiring
activity to confirm that the appropriate personnel department has
determined that inherently Governmental functions are not included
in the contract requirements. If contract services will become inherently
Governmental during a time of crisis, ensure that the contract states
that work will be removed from the contract (temporarily or permanently)
upon the occurrence of a triggering event (specified in the contract)
or upon notice from the contracting officer that informs the contractor
when its responsibility to perform affected duties will stop or
restart. The contract should require the contractor to have a plan
for restarting performance after the crisis ends.</p>
         <p id="iWcifO" outputclass="List6" class="- topic/p ">(<i class="+ topic/ph hi-d/i ">6</i>) If the combatant
commander’s contingency plan requires military members to replace

support for theater security cooperation efforts (e.g., military

missions (embassies and consulates) do not provide such contracting
support; however, these missions can provide support for routine,
non-complex services and supplies used by U.S. Government personnel,
even if funded with foreign-military-sales case money (see DFARS
