- This is a Special Notice to all Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Service Contractors.� This is to alert you that the Sunday, January 31, 2021 deadline for FY20 Service Contract Reporting is fast approaching.� DHS urges its contractors to complete the reporting requirement before this Sunday, January 31st.� Further information regarding this upcoming deadline is provided below.� If you are unsure if you are required to report, please contact your contracting officer immediately. Subject:� Notice to all DHS Service Contractors - January 31, 2021 Deadline Approaching for FY20 Service Contract Reporting When is the System for Award Management (SAM) open for SCR? SAM opened for FY20 SCR on October 8, 2020, and closes on this Sunday, January 31, 2021. What is SCR? The FAR requires prime and first-tier contractors to report in SAM for the previous FY (1) the total dollar amount invoiced for services performed and (2) direct labor hours expended on the services performed under certain contracts.� SCR applies to all contract for services that contain Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) clause 52.204-14, Service Contract Reporting Requirements, or FAR clause 52.204-15, Service Contract Reporting Requirements for Indefinite-Delivery Contracts. How do I know which of my awards require Service Contract Reporting? Per FAR 4.1705, awards made for services (as opposed to products) and meeting certain contract type and dollar thresholds require Service Contract Reporting.� The following information is provided to assist you in determining if your award qualifies: You are required to report, if you received a DHS award that is a cost-reimbursement, time-and-materials, or labor-hour service type of contract with a total estimated value that is greater than or equal to the simplified acquisition threshold.� � You are required to report, if you received a DHS award that is fixed priced with a total estimated value of: $2.5M or more awarded in FY 2014; $1M or more awarded in FY 2015; or $500K or more awarded in FY 2016 and subsequent years. If you are still unsure if you are required to report, contact your contracting officer immediately. How do I report in SAM? The General Services Administration (GSA) posted a video titled �Creating and Submitting a Service Contract Report� at the following link:� https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kMbcM9myWjo&index=2&list=PLvdwyPgXnxxVnyl5jDe6NjiRE4hsGkEKH.� This video gives step by step instruction on how to report in SAM. � The SAM �Quick Start Guide for Service Contract Reporting� is located at the following link:� https://www.sam.gov/SAM/transcript/SCR_QSG.pdf.� Who do I contact if I have questions about SCR? If you have technical questions regarding SAM, contact the Federal Service Desk at GSAFSD Service Portal Landing - GSA Federal Service Desk Service Portal. If you are still unsure if you are required to report, please contact your contracting officer immediately. What can happen if I do not report in SAM? As a reminder, FAR 4.1704 states that contracting officers shall exercise appropriate contractual remedies and make the contractor�s failure to comply with the reporting requirements a part of the contractor�s performance evaluation in the Contractor Performance Assessment Report Systems (CPARS).
