SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
A. Purpose
GSA has various mission responsibilities related to the acquisition and provision of supplies, transportation, information technology, telecommunications, real property management, and disposal of real and personal property. These mission responsibilities generate requirements that are realized through the solicitation and award of public contracts.
Most GSA procurement-related information collections are required by the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) or General Services Administration Acquisition Regulation (GSAR); each clause requiring such a collection must be individually approved by OMB. However, some solicitations require contractors to submit information specific to that contracting action, such as information needed to evaluate offers ( e.g. specific instructions for technical and price proposals, references for past performance) or data used to administer resulting contracts ( e.g. project management plans).
[top] This information collection is currently associated with GSA's information collection requirements contained in solicitations issued in accordance with the Uniform Contract Format under FAR Part 14, Sealed Bidding (see GSAR 514.201-1); FAR
B. Annual Reporting Burden
Respondents: 2,597,377.
Responses per Respondent: 1.
Total Responses: 2,597,377.
Hours Per Response: .40.
Total Burden Hours: 1,038,950.
C. Public Comments
A notice was published in the Federal Register at 85 FR 62731 on October 5, 2020. Two comments were received. No changes were made to the information collection requirements or supporting statement as a result of the public comments, because they were not applicable to the policy.
