MISSION STATEMENT & HISTORY:
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.

FAR Flow Down Clauses - What To Know

HSAR flow down clauses
https://www.acquisition.gov/hsar
Last Update: 29 March 2021
“This is not an official version of the regulation. You can confirm the most current
version of the regulation at eCFR”
https://www.ecfr.gov/current/title-48/chapter-30
Last Update: Oct. 13, 2022
DHS Flow Down Clauses - What To Know

Types of Flow down Clauses
1. Mandatory clauses (cybersecurity clauses)
2. Mandatory with qualifications (dollars, small business …)
3. Non-commercial prime with commercial sub (see FAR 52.244-6(c)(2))
4. Commercial prime with commercial sub (see FAR 52.212-5(e)(2))
5. Non-mandatory but relevant (e.g., FAR 52.209-6)
6. Irrelevant or inapplicable clauses (self-deleting v. leverage)
Sub-Contracting - LEGAL Best Practices

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)

Other predictable issues:
1. Christian Doctrine (omitted clause incorporated by law)
2. Paid when paid clauses (see FAR 32.112-1 regarding non-payment of
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)
Sub-Contracting - Other Legal Considerations

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
