For Army Requirements: If hardware is required to fulfill a customer’s requirement, the CHESS hardware contracts will be the mandatory source for hardware IAW Army Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (AFARS) 5139.101. If the hardware is not available from a CHESS contract, the Contractor can obtain the hardware through an alternate source. An Information Technology Approval System (ITAS) waiver is required for purchase of hardware products from another source, regardless of dollar value. The first step to obtaining an ITAS waiver is the CHESS Statement of Non-Availability (SoNA) process. The customer can access the SoNA process located on the IT e-mart at https://chess.army.mil/Content/Page/SONA. The ITAS waiver should be included in the DO upon award.
For Non-Army Requirements: If hardware is required to fulfill a customer’s requirement, the CHESS hardware contracts will be the preferred source of supply.
