SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: Virtual Incident Procurement
(VIPR) Existing Vendor User Survey.
OMB Number: 0596–New.
Type of Request: New.
Abstract: Virtual Incident
Procurement (VIPR) is an acquisition
system designed to solicit, award, and
manage preseason incident agreements
and contracts for equipment and
services at the Forest Service. Opinions
and comments from existing VIPR
vendor users are needed to evaluate the
acquisition system leading to program
improvements and to potential system
functionality upgrades. For this reason,
the Forest Service desires to question
vendor users utilizing an online,
electronic survey.
The information will be collected and
analyzed by the Forest Service
Acquisition Management System
Branch. The Forest Service will inquire
and collect surveys from existing VIPR
vendor users on their individual
experiences with the acquisition system,
customer service support, and other
supporting tools. The information will
be used to assist program management
enhancements, identify potential system
upgrades, and improve overall customer
service and other support tools. Results
from the information collection may be
shared with other Forest Service
divisions, with agencies outside of the
Forest Service, and with the public.
The authorization to survey vendors
for customer service improvements
comes from Executive Order 12862,
issued September 11, 1993, which
directs Federal agencies to change the
way they do business, to reform their
management practices, and to provide
service to the public that matches or
exceeds the best service available in the
private sector. The survey will provide
the Forest Service with the necessary
information to meet the terms of the
Executive order.
Estimate of Annual Burden: 20
minutes.
Type of Respondents: Existing VIPR
vendors.
Estimated Annual Number of
Respondents: 3,000.
Estimated Annual Number of
Responses per Respondent: 1.
Estimated Total Annual Burden on
Respondents: 1,000 Hours.
