A. Purpose
The information relative to the place of performance and owner of
plant or facility, if other than the prospective contractor, is a basic
requirement when contracting for supplies or services (including
construction). This information is instrumental in determining bidder
responsibility, responsiveness, and price reasonableness. A prospective
contractor must affirmatively demonstrate its responsibility. Hence,
the Government must be apprised of this information prior to award. The
contracting officer must know the place of performance and the owner of
the plant or facility to (1) determine bidder responsibility; (2)
determine price reasonableness; (3) conduct plant or source
inspections; and (4) determine whether the prospective contractor is a
manufacturer or a regular dealer. The information is used to determine
the firm's eligibility for awards and to assure proper preparation of
the contract. Contractors can complete the provision electronically in
the System for Award Management (SAM); however, because the data being
collected could change for a specific solicitation, contractors will
still be required to submit place of performance information on an
exceptional basis; that is, whenever the place of performance for a
specific solicitation is different from the place of performance shown
in SAM.
B. Annual Reporting Burden
This information collection will result in no change from what
published in the Federal Register at 76 FR 42127 on July 18, 2011. No
public comments were received in prior years that have challenged the
validity of the Government's estimate.
Respondents: 79,397.
Responses per Respondent: 14.
Total Responses: 1,111,558.
Hours per Response: .07.
Total Burden Hours: 77,810.
C. Public Comments
Public comments are particularly invited on: Whether this
collection of information is necessary for the proper performance of
functions of the FAR, and whether it will have practical utility;
whether our estimate of the public burden of this collection of
information is accurate, and based on valid assumptions and
methodology; and ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of
the information to be collected.
Obtaining Copies of Proposals: Requesters may obtain a copy of the
information collection documents from the General Services
Administration, Regulatory Secretariat Division (MVCB), 1800 F Street
