A. Purpose
As prescribed in FAR 7.305(c), the
clause at FAR 52.207–3, Right of First
Refusal of Employment, deals with
adversely affected or separated
Government employees resulting from
the conversion of work from in-house
performance to performance by contract.
PO 00000
Frm 00056
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
The clause requires the contractor to
give these employees an opportunity to
work for the contractor who is awarded
the contract.
The information gathered will be used
by the Government to gain knowledge of
which employees, adversely affected or
separated as a result of the contract
award, have gained employment with
the contractor within 90 days after
contract performance begins.
B. Annual Reporting Burden
The total annual burden has increased
from 912 hours to 30,327 hours. This is
based on an analysis of the Federal
Procurement Data System—Next
Generation (FPDS–NG) which shows
that for Fiscal Years 2011 and 2012
there were 9,198 and 11,020,
respectively, new A–76 awards. An
average of the number of the A–76
awards for these two years equates to
10,109.
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;
ways to enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be
collected; and ways in which we can
minimize the burden of the collection of
information on those who are to
respond, through the use of appropriate
technological collection techniques or
other forms of information technology.
Number of Respondents: 10,109.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
A. Purpose
To protect the Government’s interest
and to ensure timely delivery of items
of the requisite quality, contracting
officers, prior to award, must make an
affirmative determination that the
prospective contractor is responsible,
i.e., capable of performing the contract.
Before making such a determination, the
contracting officer must have in his
possession or must obtain information
sufficient to satisfy himself that the
prospective contractor: (i) Has adequate
financial resources, or the ability to
obtain such resources; (ii) is able to
comply with required delivery
schedule; (iii) has a satisfactory record
of performance; (iv) has a satisfactory
record of integrity; and (v) is otherwise
qualified and eligible to receive an
award under appropriate laws and
regulations. If such information is not in
the contracting officer’s possession, it is
obtained through a preaward survey
conducted by the contract
administration office responsible for the
plant and/or the geographic area in
which the plant is located. The
necessary data is collected by contract
administration personnel from available
data or through plant visits, phone calls,
and correspondence. This data is
entered on Standard Forms 1403, 1404,
1405, 1406, 1407, and 1408 in detail
commensurate with the dollar value and
complexity of the procurement. These
standard forms are not cumulative. The
surveying activity completes only the
applicable standard form(s) necessary to
determine contractor responsibility in
each case.
38341
required in limited circumstances where
information for the prospective
contractor cannot be obtained by the
contracting officer to make an
affirmative statement of responsibility.
Further, if the contemplated contract
will have a fixed price at or below the
$150,000 simplified acquisition
threshold (SAT) 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.
Using parameters identified above a
Federal Procurement Data System
(FPDS) ad hoc report was completed
identifying that in Fiscal Year (FY) 2012
an estimated total of 11,805 contracts
were awarded Governmentwide that
were over the SAT, and for which
commercial acquisition procedures were
not used. Of that number, it is estimated
that preaward surveys were completed
for 30 percent, or 3,540 of the 11,805
contracts that were awarded. Of the six
Standard Forms (1403, 1404, 1405,
1406, 1407, and 1408), we estimated
that Standard Form 1403 is used most
frequently because it is a general form
and accounts for 30 percent or 1,062
times, Standard Forms 1404 and 1407
account for 15 percent or 531 times,
Standard Form 1408 accounts for 20
percent or 708 times, and Standard
Forms 1405 and 1406 account 10
percent or 354 times.
Additionally, there is no
Governmentwide data collection
process or system which identifies the
actual number of hours necessary to
prepare and complete Standard Forms.
To date, no public comments or
questions have been received regarding
the estimated burden hours per
response included in prior approved
clearances. After consultation with
subject matter experts, it was
determined that the time required to
prepare and complete the Standard
Forms is estimated at 24 hours per
response. Because preaward survey data
is generally used for multiple contracts
awarded within a 12 month period, it is
estimated that only one (1) response
would be reported annually per
respondent per form.

Respondents: 1,062.
Responses annually: 1.
Total Responses: 1,062.
