JOINT CONTINGENCY CONTRACTING SYSTEM (JCCS) REGISTRATION

All offerors performing work in the AFRICOM AOR must register in the Joint Contingency Contracting System (JCCS) at https://www.jccs.gov/jccscoe. After submission of the required information in this system, the vendor will be assigned a risk rating. The Contracting Officer will verify the prospective awardee’s registration in the JCCS and the prospective awardee’s rating during the responsibility determination before awarding this contract. If the prospective awardee does not have an Acceptable status in JCCS at that time, then the prospective awardee will be found to be not responsible under FAR 9.104-1(g) and their proposal will be ineligible for award.

Offerors are advised to register, renew as necessary, and monitor their status in JCCS in order to take any additional actions required to achieve an Acceptable status before the time of award.

The Contractor shall be registered in the Joint Contingency Contracting System (JCCS), https://www.jccs.gov/jccscoe, and maintain an Acceptable risk rating status from contract award through completion of all contract work and any applicable warranty periods. The US Government reserves the right to terminate this contract for default if the Contractor is no longer registered in the JCCS or fails to maintain an acceptable risk rating status at any time during contract performance.

Further, any subcontractors who will perform work on this contract valued at more than $35,000 must also be vetted in JCCS in accordance with the requirements of DFARS 252.225-7993, 252.225-7980, and 252.225-7981. As addressed in regards to prime contractors above, subcontractors must also achieve and maintain an Acceptable rating throughout the period of performance.
