Summary
This deviation rescinds and supersedes Class Deviation 2016-O0006. Contracting Officers must use new clause 252.225-7980 in place of Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) 252.225-7040 in all solicitations and contracts with performance in the USAFRICOM area of responsibility. The USAFRICOM Commander requires SPOT tracking for all contractors in the AOR regardless of contract length or value.
Contracting Officer Actions

Incorporate clause 252.225-7980 (DEVIATION 2016-O0008) in lieu of DFARS 252.225-7040 in all solicitations and contracts requiring performance in the USAFRICOM AOR, including commercial (Part 12) acquisitions.
2
To the extent practicable, modify current active contracts with USAFRICOM AOR performance to incorporate clause 252.225-7980.
3
