SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title and OMB Number: Defense
Federal Acquisition Regulation
Supplement (DFARS) Sections 211.272,
Alternate Preservation, Packaging, and
Packing, and 211.273, Substitutions for
Military or Federal Specifications and
Standards, and related clauses at
DFARS 252.211–7004 and 252.211–
7005; OMB Control Number 0704–0398.
Needs and Uses: This information
collection permits offerors to propose
alternatives to military preservation,
packaging, or packing specifications.
DoD uses the information in the
offeror’s proposal to determine if the
alternate preservation, packaging, or
packing will meet the Government’s
needs. In addition, this information
collection permits offerors to propose
Single Process Initiative (SPI) processes
as alternatives to military or Federal
specifications and standards cited in
DoD solicitations for previously
developed items. DoD uses the
information in the offeror’s proposal to
verify Government acceptance of an SPI
process as a valid replacement for a
military or Federal specification or
standard.
Affected Public: Businesses or other
for-profit institutions.
Annual Burden Hours: 1,724.
Number of Respondents: 581.
Responses per Respondent:
Approximately 3.
Annual Responses: 1,762.
Average Burden per Response:
Approximately 1 hour.
Frequency: On occasion.
Summary of Information Collection
The provision at DFARS 252.211–
7004, Alternate Preservation, Packaging,
and Packing, is used in solicitations that
include military preservation,
VerDate Aug<31>2005
18:21 May 21, 2007
Jkt 211001
packaging, or packing specifications,
when it is feasible for DoD to evaluate
and award using commercial or
industrial preservation, packaging, or
packing. If the offeror chooses to
propose alternate preservation,
packaging, or packing, the provision
requires the offeror to submit
information sufficient to allow
evaluation of the proposed commercial
or industrial preservation, packaging, or
packing.
The clause at DFARS 252.211–7005,
Substitutions for Military or Federal
Specifications and Standards, is used in
solicitations and contracts for
previously developed items. The clause
encourages offerors to propose
management or manufacturing
processes, that have been previously
accepted by DoD under the SPI program,
as alternatives to military or Federal
specifications and standards cited in the
solicitation. An offeror proposing to use
an SPI process must—
(1) Identify the specific military or
Federal specification or standard for
which the SPI process has been
accepted;
(2) Identify each facility at which the
offeror proposes to use the SPI process
in lieu of military or Federal
specifications or standards cited in the
solicitation;
(3) Identify the contract line items,
subline items, components, or elements
affected by the SPI process; and
(4) If the proposed SPI process has
been accepted at the facility at which it
is proposed for use, but is not yet listed
at the SPI Internet site, submit
documentation of DoD acceptance of the
SPI process.
