Contract Modification Detail

Type	Administrative / Scope Clarification	Requested By	M. Whitcombe (COR)
Date Submitted	14 Feb 2026	Date Decided	21 Feb 2026
Cost Impact	+$28,000	Schedule Impact	None
CO Decision	Approved

Description: Adds an independent, third-party Section 508 auditor to the CDRL A004 (Section 508/VPAT Compliance Test Report) and A006 (ATO Package) review process, at the COR's direction, to provide an accessibility opinion independent of Acme Federal Systems' own P. Duvall.

Justification: FOPBA's accessibility program office requested an independent second opinion on Section 508 conformance for any citizen-facing federal system, standard practice for public-facing portals of this size.

Type	Schedule Adjustment	Requested By	C. Tyrrell (Task Order PM)
Date Submitted	03 Apr 2026	Date Decided	08 Apr 2026
Cost Impact	$0	Schedule Impact	+15 days to Milestone Gate 1
CO Decision	Approved

Description: Extends the dependency window for read-only access to the legacy CareLink-style database by 15 days, after FOPBA's internal IT team was delayed granting credentials to Acme's data migration team.

Justification: Without extended access, the data migration and validation tasks tied to Milestone Gate 1 could not start on schedule through no fault of the contractor team.

Type	Administrative	Requested By	M. Whitcombe (COR)
Date Submitted	22 May 2026	Date Decided	29 May 2026
Cost Impact	$0	Schedule Impact	None
CO Decision	Approved

Description: Updates the format of CDRL A007 (Monthly Status Report) to match FOPBA's newly adopted agency-wide status reporting template, replacing the original task-order-specific format.

Justification: FOPBA standardized status reporting across all active IDIQ task orders; no change to reporting content or frequency, only the template.

Type	Scope Addition (Security)	Requested By	T. Abernathy (ISSO)
Date Submitted	10 Jun 2026	Date Decided	19 Jun 2026
Cost Impact	+$45,000	Schedule Impact	+5 days to ATO gate
CO Decision	Approved

Description: Adds a Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) requirement to the citizen-facing portal's login flow, following an updated OMB identity-assurance memo issued after contract award.

Justification: The updated OMB memo raises the required identity-assurance level for any federal system handling applicant PII — this Task Order's ATO could not be granted without it.

Type	Schedule Adjustment	Requested By	T. Abernathy (ISSO)
Date Submitted	02 Jul 2026	Date Decided	09 Jul 2026
Cost Impact	$0	Schedule Impact	+30 days to go-live
CO Decision	Approved

Description: Extends the interim authorization bridge by 30 days while the Authorizing Official completes final review of the ATO package (SSP + POA&M), pushing the planned go-live date.

Justification: The Authorizing Official's review queue was delayed by an unrelated agency-wide security incident response, outside the Task Order's control.

Type	Scope Addition (Section 508)	Requested By	P. Duvall (508 Lead)
Date Submitted	18 Jul 2026	Date Decided	24 Jul 2026
Cost Impact	+$18,000	Schedule Impact	None
CO Decision	Approved

Description: Adds an automated accessibility regression-testing tool license to run alongside manual VPAT testing on every release, rather than manual testing alone.

Justification: Manual-only testing could not keep pace once the front-end development team grew to two developers shipping more frequent UI changes — automated regression catches accessibility defects between manual test passes.

Type	Cost Decrease	Requested By	H. Ibrahim (Back-End Developer)
Date Submitted	05 Aug 2026	Date Decided	12 Aug 2026
Cost Impact	-$12,000	Schedule Impact	None
CO Decision	Approved

Description: Reduces the planned Data Migration Tooling spend after the legacy vendor provided a cleaner, better-structured data export than originally scoped, requiring less custom transformation tooling.

Justification: Passing a genuine cost savings back to the government rather than retaining the original tooling budget for work that turned out to be unnecessary.

Type	Scope Addition	Requested By	S. Vance (DevOps / Cloud Engineer)
Date Submitted	20 Aug 2026	Date Decided	27 Aug 2026
Cost Impact	+$35,000	Schedule Impact	None
CO Decision	Approved

Description: Adds a Disaster Recovery / Continuity of Operations (COOP) test to the Cloud Hosting line, verifying the portal can fail over to a secondary region within FOPBA's required recovery time objective.

Justification: COOP testing was implied but not explicitly priced in the original PWS; FOPBA's COR asked for it to be made explicit and billed rather than absorbed informally.

Type	Administrative	Requested By	A. Reyes (Contracting Officer)
Date Submitted	03 Sep 2026	Date Decided	10 Sep 2026
Cost Impact	$0	Schedule Impact	None
CO Decision	Approved

Description: Corrects J. Okonkwo's labor category title from "Business Analyst" to FOPBA's standard labor category taxonomy term, "Requirements Analyst II," to match the IDIQ's labor category schedule exactly.

Justification: A labor-category audit found the Task Order's invoicing used an informal title not present on the HSS-IDIQ labor category schedule — corrected for invoicing consistency, no change to role, rate, or duties.

Type	Option Exercise	Requested By	A. Reyes (Contracting Officer)
Date Submitted	15 Sep 2026	Date Decided	22 Sep 2026
Cost Impact	$0 (pre-priced at award)	Schedule Impact	+6 months period of performance
CO Decision	Approved

Description: Formally exercises the Task Order's 6-month Option Period, pre-priced at contract award, extending the period of performance and continuing the delivery team's sustainment and Continuous ATO Monitoring support.

Justification: FOPBA elected to exercise the pre-priced option rather than recompete, based on satisfactory Base Period performance documented in CDRL deliverable acceptances.
