For FY 2021 analysis, EPA will review the 12 special interest PSCs that were designated to have the greatest potential for vulnerability. In addition, EPA will select contracts with the greatest obligated contract dollar and the type of work involved as an initial indicator of risk.

Step 4: Develop criteria to identify individual contracts for in-depth review. Based on the criteria identified and in accordance with the Consolidated Appropriations Act, EPA will select individual contracts for detailed review in the following order: Tier 1: Potential for inherently governmental performance by contractors; Tier 2: Contracts providing professional and management services or information technology services; Tier 3: Contracts that do not include professional and management services or information technology services, but were awarded on a non-competitive basis; and 1 ------- Tier 4: Contracts that do not include professional and management services or information technology services, but meet any one of the remaining designated criteria. To perform its analysis EPA will contact the cognizant contracting officers and contracting officer representatives to gain access to the contracts and related documents as well as to gather information via survey, in-person interviews, and reviews of task orders, invoices, deliverables, and facilities, as appropriate. The FY 2021 inventory must include a supplement with information collected from contractors on the amounts invoiced and the direct labor hours expended on covered service contracts. The Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Subpart 4.17 addresses the collection of this information.
