MISSION STATEMENT & HISTORY:
Washington DC - hello@JenniferSchaus.com – 202-365-0598
The U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and its homeland security
mission are born from the commitment and resolve of Americans across the
United States in the wake of the September 11th attacks. In those darkest hours,
we witnessed true heroism, self-sacrifice, and unified resolve against evil. We
rallied together for our common defense, and we pledged to stand united
against the threats attacking our great Nation, fellow Americans, and way of life.

Sub-Contracting - LEGAL Best Practices
52. SUBCONTRACTING OPPORTUNITIES AT
Dept Of Homeland Security
Predictable subcontract flow down clause issues:
1. Clauses that continue to change (see FAR 1.108(d))
* clause changes apply to solicitation after effective date
* issue solicitation with new clause before the effective date if award occurs after effective date
* insert changed clause in any contract and negotiate cost of change (if any)
1. Provisions in clause(s) subject to change (specialty metals, cybersecurity, supply chain prohibitions (Chinese
companies)
2. Changed requirements from other agencies (e.g., Labor, DOT, courts)

subcontractors for other than commercial products/services)
3. Disputes – sponsorship clause

Future issues:
1. OMB Memoranda (M-22-18 on Software Supply Chain; M-23-01 increasing
share of dollars to SDBs to 12% then 15% by 2025)
2. Proposed rules (e.g., independent contractor under FLSA)
3. Executive Orders (e.g., Improving Nation’s Cybersecurity)
Pending changes (e.g., BAA rules effective Oct. 25, 2022; cybersecurity interim
rule scheduled for March 2023)

Observations:
1. Create your own flow down clause matrix peculiar to your company and
the agencies you deal with
2. No substitute for reading the contract
