AAPD 22-02: Telework and Remote Work Policy for U.S. Personal Services Contracts with Individuals (PSCs)
AAPDs provide information of significance to all agency personnel and partners involved in the Acquisition and Assistance process. Information includes (but is not limited to): advance notification of changes in acquisition or assistance regulations; reminders; procedures; and general information. Also, AAPDs may be used to implement new requirements on short-notice, pending formal amendment of acquisition or assistance regulations.
Purpose: The purpose of this AAPD is to provide guidance and announce revisions to the AIDAR to implement telework and remote work arrangements for U.S. personal services contractors (USPSCs), as a matter of policy, in accordance with approved deviation #M-OAA-DEV-AIDAR-22-11c. This AAPD is effective as of the date of issuance and will remain in effect until July 12, 2024, or the date when the AIDAR final rule becomes effective, whichever is earlier.
Required Actions: A. New awards: Contracting Officers, including warranted Executive Officers, (COs) must prepare all new solicitations and awards using the updated templates available in GLAAS (also available only in viewable format on the M/OAA Policy Website). COs must incorporate the deviated General Provision Contract Clause (GP) 4 (see Attachment 2) in all new awards to USPSCs made on or after the effective date of this AAPD.
