This justification supports the
revision of the expiration date of OMB Control No. 9000-0189 and
combines it with the previously approved information collections
(IC) under OMB Control Nos. 9000-0097 and 9000-0197, with the new
title “Certain Federal Acquisition Regulation Part 4 Requirements”.
Upon approval of this consolidated IC, OMB Control Nos. 9000-0097
and 9000-0197 will be discontinued. The burden requirements
previously approved under the discontinued numbers will be covered
under OMB Control No. 9000-0189. This clearance covers the
information that offerors and contractors must submit to comply
with the following FAR requirements: a. FAR 52.204-3, and
52.212-3(l) - Taxpayer Identification Number Information. When
there is not a requirement to be registered in the System for Award
Management (SAM), offerors are required to submit their Taxpayer
Identification Number (TIN) information by the provision at FAR
52.204-3, Taxpayer Identification, for other than commercial
acquisitions, and by paragraph (l) of the provision at FAR
52.212-3, Offeror Representations and Certifications - Commercial
Products and Commercial Services, for commercial acquisitions. b.
FAR 52.204-6, 52.212-1(j), and 52.204-12 - Unique Entity
Identifier. When there is not a requirement to be registered in
SAM, offerors are required to submit their unique entity identifier
by the provision at FAR 52.204-6, Unique Entity Identifier, for
other than commercial acquisitions, and by paragraph (j) of the
provision at FAR 52.212-1, Instructions to Offerors - Commercial
Products and Commercial Services, for commercial acquisitions. The
clause at FAR 52.204-12, Unique Entity Identifier Maintenance,
requires contractors to maintain their unique entity identifier
with the organization designated in SAM to issue such identifiers,
for the life of the contract. The clause also requires contractors
to notify contracting officers of any changes to the unique entity
identifier. c. FAR 52.204-7, 52.204-13, and 52.212-3(b) - SAM
Registration and Maintenance. The provision at FAR 52.204-7, SAM,
requires offerors to be registered in SAM when submitting an offer
or quotation, except in certain limited cases, and to continue to
be registered through final payment of any award that results from
such offer. The clause at FAR 52.204-13, SAM Maintenance, requires
contractors to make sure their SAM data is kept current, accurate,
and complete throughout contract performance and final payment;
this maintenance is, at a minimum, to be done through an annual
review and update of the contractor’s SAM registration. Paragraph
(b) of the provision at FAR 52.212-3, Offeror Representations and
Certifications - Commercial Products and Commercial Services,
contains the equivalent of FAR 52.204-7 and 52.204-13, for
commercial acquisitions. d. FAR 52.204-14, and 52.204-15 - Service
Contract Reporting Requirements. The clauses at FAR 52.204-14,
Service Contract Reporting Requirements, and FAR 52.204-15, Service
Contract Reporting Requirements for Indefinite-Delivery Contracts,
require contractors to report information in SAM annually. e. FAR
52.204-20, Predecessor of Offeror. This provision requires offerors
to identify if the offeror is, within the last three years, a
successor to to another entity that received a Federal Government
award and, if so, to provide the Commercial and Government Entity
(CAGE) code and legal name of the predecessor. f. FAR 52.204-23,
Prohibition on Contracting for Hardware, Software, and Services
Developed or Provided by Kaspersky Lab and Other Covered Entities.
This clause requires contractors to report, in writing, to the
contracting officer, any instance when the contractor identifies a
covered article provided to the Government during contract
performance, or if contractors are notified of such an event by
subcontractors at any tier or any other source.
This collection is being
combined with the previously approved information collections under
OMB Control Nos. 9000-0097 and 9000-0197, with the new title
“Certain Federal Acquisition Regulation Part 4 Requirements”. There
are no program changes. The FAR requirements remain the same. The
burden has been adjusted by using the most currently available data
from FPDS and SAM. The estimated cost to the public and to the
Government was updated based on use of calendar year 2021 OPM GS
wage rates for the rest of the United States.
