Supplement (DFARS) Part 237, Service Contracting, associated DFARS 
Clauses at DFARS 252.237, DD Form 2062, Record of Preparation and 
Disposition of Remains (DoD Mortuary Facility), and DD Form 2063,

    Needs and Uses: This information collection is used for the 
following purposes--
    DFARS 237.270 prescribes the use of the provision at DFARS 252.237-
7000, Notice of Special Standards, in solicitations for the acquisition 
of audit services. The provision, at paragraph (c), requires the 
apparently successful offeror to submit evidence that it is properly 
licensed in the state or political jurisdiction it operates its 
professional practice.
    DFARS 237.7003 prescribes the use of the clause 252.237-7011, 
Preparation History. The clause and the DD Form 2062, Record of

component's mission essential functions in an emergency. The written 
plan, submitted concurrently with the proposal or offer, allows the 
contracting officer to assess the offeror's capability to continue 
providing contractually required services to support the DoD 
component's mission essential functions in an emergency.
    DFARS 237.7603(a) prescribes the use of the clause at DFARS 
252.237-7023, Continuation of Essential Contractor Services, in 
solicitations and contracts for services in support of mission

update its written plan as necessary to ensure that it can continue to 
provide services to support the DoD component's mission essential 
functions in an emergency. The contracting officer provides approval of 
the updates to the contractor's plan, to ensure that the contractor can 
continue to provide services in support of the DoD component's required 
mission essential functions in an emergency.
    Affected Public: Businesses and other for-profit and not-for profit 
institutions.
    Reporting Frequency: On occasion.
