Common use of CONGRESSIONAL NOTIFICATION OF GWAC TASK Clause in Contracts

CONGRESSIONAL NOTIFICATION OF GWAC TASK. ORDER AWARDS‌ Congressional notifications are not issued by GSA at the Master Contract level for issued Task Orders. There is nothing specific in FAR 16.505 regarding congressional notifications at the Task Order level; however, the Contractor and Ordering Contracting Officers should be aware that the Task Order issuing agency may have specific guidance as to reporting on their Task Order awards. The Task Order is where the actual work is defined, competed, awarded and funded; hence, the Task Order award may have congressional interest. For example, if the DoD awards an GWAC Task Order that meets 1279 reporting criteria, it should be reported per DFARS 205.303 Announcement of contract awards.
