PART 9--CONTRACTOR QUALIFICATIONS

    In proposed rule document 95-27294 on page 55960 in the issue of 
Friday, November 3, 1995, in the third column, under amendatory 
instruction 3, the revised text should read as follows:


9.106-1  Conditions of preaward surveys.

    (a) A preaward survey is normally required only when the 
information on hand or readily available to the contracting officer, 
including information from commercial sources, is not sufficient to 
make a determination regarding responsibility. However, if the 
contemplated contract will have a fixed price at or below the 
simplified acquisition threshold or will involve the acquisition of 
commercial items (see part 12), the contracting officer should not 
request a preaward survey unless circumstances justify its cost.
