Place of Performance

The work to be performed under this contract will be performed in a government-provided office space in the OSD Historical Office in the Pentagon, with the exception of any off-site oral history interviews and archival research, which may require travel outside the National Capital Region. The Government may permit telecommuting (telework) by contractor employees when determined to be in the best interest of the Government in meeting work requirements. All telecommuting agreements must be authorized and approved by the Chief Historian and include date, time, and description of the work to be performed.
