DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE
Defense Acquisition Regulations System
[Docket No. DARS-2011-0070-0002]
Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request
ACTION: Notice.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
The Defense Acquisition Regulations System has submitted to OMB for
clearance, the following proposal for collection of information under
the provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. chapter 35).
DATES: Consideration will be given to all comments received by December
19, 2011.
Title, Associated Forms and OMB Number: Defense Federal Acquisition
Regulation Supplement (DFARS) Part 217, Special Contracting Methods,
and related provision and clauses at DFARS 252.217-7012, Liability and
Insurance; DFARS 252.217-7026, Identification of Sources of Supply; and
252.217-7028, Over and Above Work; OMB Control Number 0704-0214.
Type of Request: Extension.
Number of Respondents: 51,839.
Responses per Respondent: Approximately 1.7.
Annual Responses: 88,091.
Average Burden per Response: Approximately 9.8 hours.
Annual Burden Hours: 861,942.
Needs and Uses: DFARS Part 217 prescribes policies and procedures
for acquiring supplies and services by special contracting methods.
Contracting officers use the required information as follows:
The clause at DFARS 252.217-7012 is used in master agreements for
repair and alteration of vessels. Contracting officers use the
information required by paragraph (d) of the clause to determine that
the contractor is adequately insured. This requirement supports prudent
business practice, because it limits the Government's liability as a
related party to the work the contractor performs. Contracting officers
use the information required by paragraphs (f) and (g) of the clause at
DFARS 252.217-7012 to keep informed of lost or damaged property for
which the Government is liable, and to determine the appropriate course
of action for replacement or repair of the property.
Contracting officers use the information required by the provision
at DFARS 252.217-7026 to identify the apparently successful offeror's
sources of supply so that competition can be enhanced in future
acquisitions. This collection complies with 10 U.S.C. 2384, entitled
``Supplies: Identification of supplier and sources,'' which requires
the contractor to identify the actual manufacturer or all sources of
supply for supplies furnished under contract to DoD.
Contracting officers use the information required by the clause at
DFARS 252.217-7028 to determine the extent of ``over and above'' work
before the work commences. This requirement allows the Government to
review the need for pending work before the contractor begins
performance.
Contracting officers use the information required by DFARS
217.7004(a) where offerors shall state prices for the new items being
acquired both with and without any exchange (trade-in allowance).
Contracting officers use the information from DFARS 217.7404-3(b),
to evaluate a contractor's ``qualifying proposal'' in accordance with
the definitization schedule. This requirement will require receipt of a
qualifying proposal containing sufficient information for the DoD to do
complete a meaningful analyses and audit of the information in the
proposal, and any other information that the contracting officer has
determined DoD needs to review in connection with the contract.
Contracting officers use the information from 217.7505(d), where
the offeror supply's with its proposal, price, and quantity data on any
Government orders for the replenishment part issued within the most
recent 12 months.
Affected Public: Businesses or other for-profit and not-for- profit
institutions.
Frequency: On occasion.
Respondent's Obligation: Required to obtain or maintain benefits.
OMB Desk Officer: Ms. Jasmeet Seehra.

Budget, Desk Officer for DoD, Room 10236, New Executive Office
