SBCs are encouraged to monitor the CDC website, engage with your employees to share information and discuss COVID-19 concerns employees may have. Please contact your Contracting/Agreements Officer to identify potential impacts to the welfare and safety of your workforce and any contract/OT performance issues. Most importantly, keep in mind that only your Contracting/Agreements Officer can affect changes to your contract/OT.
