Contractors are required to implement National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Special Publication (SP) 800-171 Revision 2 by inclusion of clause at 252.204-7012 (Dev), Safeguarding Covered Defense Information and Cyber incident Reporting, are required at time of award to have at least a Basic NIST SP 800-171 DoD Assessment that is current (i.e., not more than 3 years old unless a lesser time is specified in the solicitation).

SPRS provides storage and access to the NIST SP 800-171 assessment scoring information. To access the NIST SP 800-171 Assessments module, users must be registered in the Procurement Integrated Enterprise Environment (PIEE) https://piee.eb.mil/ and be approved for access to Supplier Performance Risk System (SPRS).

The NIST SP 800-171 DoD Assessment Methodology is located at: https://www.acq.osd.mil/asda/dpc/cp/cyber/safeguarding.html#nistSP800171 Vendor Help and Training Tutorials are available at https://www.sprs.csd.disa.mil/nistsp.htm **ALERT: All contractors must be registered in the System for Award Management (www.SAM.gov) prior to contractors submission.

All proposed contractors are highly encouraged to review FAR Clause 52.232-33 Payments by Electronic Funds Transfer – System for Award Management, which indicates “All payments by the Government under this contract shall be made by electronic funds transfer (EFT).” Those not currently registered can obtain registration by going to the website http://www.SAM.gov.

Effective June 29, 2018 vendors creating or updating their registration can have their registration activated prior to the approval of the required notarized letter. However, the signed copy of the notarized letter must be sent to the GSA Federal Service Desk (FSD) within 30 days of activation or the vendor risks no longer being active in SAM. Vendors can check whether an account is active by performing a query by their CAGE or Unique Entity Identifier (known as DUNS).

The new registration process may now take several weeks, so vendors are highly encouraged to begin registering as soon as possible to avoid any possible delays in future contract awards. Remember, there is no cost to use SAM. To find out additional information about the changes of the SAM registration process, contractors should visit the Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) link located at the top of the SAM homepage (www.sam.gov).
