MEMORANDUM FOR 49 CONS/PKA

FROM: 49 CES/CD

SUBJECT: Mission Essential Vertical Transportation Equipment Requirement for FY27 1. In accordance with DoDI1100.22, Policy and Procedures for Determining Workforce Mix (which supersedes DoDI3020.37, Continuation of Essential DOD Contractor Services), this requirement requires mission essential functions. Mission essential functions are organizational activities that must be performed under all circumstances to achieve DoD component missions or responsibilities, as determined by the appropriate functional commander or civilian equivalent. Failure to perform or sustain these functions would significantly affect DoD's ability to provide vital services or exercise authority, direction and control. 2. In accordance with DODI1100.22, it is determined that the services requested are mission essential for performance during a crisis and require the contractor to provide uninterrupted services.
3. Recommendation to include DFARS Clause 252.237-7023, Continuation of Essential Contractor Services for the Vertical Transportation Equipment Requirement. This clause is required in solicitations and contracts for services that are in support of mission-essential functions.
