6 1 Introduction The operational enterprise web service Clause Logic Service (CLS) (using the Procurement Data Standard) is used by procurement personnel or system-to-system during the procurement process to allow for consistent inclusion of provisions and clauses in procurement actions. CLS ensures the selection of provisions and clauses based on a standard set of system logic rules for the current Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (FARS), Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS), and Agency Supplements in accordance with local clause control rules per Procedures, Guidance, and Information (PGI) Users can access CLS via a web service connection to their Contract Writing System (CWS) or directly from a website. 1.1 Purpose The purpose of the CLS User Manual is to provide instructions for using the CLS User Interface (UI). 2 CLS UI Startup 2.1 Prerequisites Roles Access permissions to the CLS User interface are based on functional roles assigned to the user (e.g., Contract Specialist, Reviewer, and Administrator). The Reviewer and Administrator roles are not currently available but will be deployed in a future version Contract Specialist The Contract Specialist role has the following capabilities: Answer questions related to a specific contract. Initiate a new Question and Answer (Q&A) session for solicitations and awards. Save a Q&A session for a defined retention time (default 60 days) or cancel a session without saving it. Select from a previously saved Q&A session, stored within the defined retention time, for display. Resume a saved user session at the point it was previously saved, retaining previously edited or filled in text. Create a copy of a previously saved Q&A session to serve as a starting point for a new solicitation or award retaining all previous answers. Review a document in the History tab. Manually add clauses Reviewer The Reviewer role, which is not currently implemented, has the following capabilities: Generate reports based upon actions taken by users within his/her organizational hierarchy. View the Q&A transcripts of any stored session initiated by any user within his/her organizational hierarchy Administrator The Administrator role, which is not currently implemented, has the following capabilities: 1

7 Identify an organizational hierarchy for inclusion of users with Reviewer and Contract Specialist user roles grouped within his/her organization. Set the retention time for saved Q&A sessions in days for his/her organization. Generate reports based upon actions taken by users within his/her organizational hierarchy. 2.2 Accessing the CLS UI Users log in to the Clause Logic web site hosted at ALTESS with their Common Access Cards (CAC).
