                  <ph props="autonumber" class="- topic/ph ">(a)</ph> Concurrent with the transmittal
of each statement of work or any modification to a statement of
work for a service contract, the requirements office must provide
the contracting officer a written determination that none of the
functions to be performed are inherently governmental as defined
in FAR subpart 7.5. The determination must include a statement that
the requirement is not for functions similar to those listed under
FAR 7.503(c).</p>

                  <ph props="autonumber" class="- topic/ph ">(b)</ph> The requirements
office must also review the examples of functions listed under FAR
7.503(d). While these functions are not inherently governmental,
they may restrict the discretionary authority, decision-making responsibility,
or accountability of Government officials using the contractor services
or work products. If the services to be acquired may cause such
restrictions, the acquisition plan must discuss the associated vulnerabilities,
and address management controls to mitigate them.</p>

measures may include requiring special controls and safeguards to
prevent improper personal services relationships, contractor personnel
access to privileged or sensitive information, and/or confusion
regarding the mistaking of contractor employees for Federal employees.</p>

Policy Letter 93-1 for guidance in addressing these considerations.</p>

HCA may delegate this authority to a level not lower than the contracting
director.</p>
