What is DFARS 7019?

DFARS 252.204-7019 Explained

DFARS 252.204-7019 is the solicitation provision that notifies offerors of the DoD assessment requirements tied to NIST SP 800-171. When it appears in a solicitation, it tells contractors that a current assessment is required for each relevant covered contractor information system before award. 

DFARS 7019 is important because it works as a pre-award checkpoint. Contractors are expected to confirm that the summary level score for a current assessment is posted in SPRS, or to submit a Basic assessment if needed, before the government can move forward with award. 

In practical terms, DFARS 7019 tells contractors that assessment status is part of proposal readiness. If your environment is subject to NIST SP 800-171 under DFARS 7012, you should expect DoD to look for current assessment information in SPRS before award decisions are made.
