SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
A. Purpose
The Federal Acquisition Regulation
(FAR) provision 52.204–20, Predecessor
of Offeror, requires each offeror to
identify if the offeror is, within the last
three years, a successor to another entity
that received a Federal Government
award and, if so, to provide the
Commercial and Government Entity
(CAGE) code and legal name of the
predecessor. The information on
predecessors is used to identify such
entities in the Federal Awardee
Performance and Integrity Information
System (FAPIIS) to allow retrieval of
integrity and performance data on the
most recent predecessor of an apparent
successful offeror to whom award is
anticipated. FAR 9.104–6 requires
contracting officers to consult FAPIIS
before awarding a contract in excess of
the simplified acquisition threshold.
The information on predecessors is
collected on an annual basis for
inclusion in the annual representations
and certifications in the System for
Award Management (SAM) for offerors
required to register in SAM. Offerors not
required to register in SAM but required
to provide the information in the
provision at FAR 52.204–20 will do so
as specified in the solicitation or
instructed by the contracting officer.

B. Public Comment
A 60 day notice was published in the
Federal Register at 83 FR 47342, on
September 19, 2018. One comment was
received; however, it did not change the
estimate of the burden. The commenter
supports the information collection
requirement as an important step in
bringing greater transparency and
efficiency to the federal acquisition
process.
Comment: The commenter is
concerned that offerors are not
complying with the information
collection requirement and they must be
held accountable for their
representations and certifications. The
commenter suggested that to do so, the
government should periodically audit

vendor-entered FAPIIS and SAM data
quality and address non-compliance
through a system of sanctions ranging
from warning letters to monetary fines,
or through the suspension and
debarment process. The commenter also
suggested expanding the information
collection requirement to include the
names of key individuals associated
with the offeror company and any past
relationships they had with entities that
received contracts or grants.
Response: This comment is out of
scope because the suggestions made by
the commenter would require additional
rulemaking. They did not express an
opinion on whether the stated number
of burden hours is accurate for what
they believe to be the actual number of
hours an offeror expends to comply
with the provision.
C. Annual Reporting Burden
The burden to provide the
information required by the FAR
provision at 52.204–20 when an offeror
is registered in SAM is already covered
by OMB Control Number 9000–0159,
System for Award Management
Registration (SAM). OMB Control
Number 9000–0189 now will cover the
burden for providing the required
information when the offeror is not
required to register in SAM in
accordance with the exceptions in FAR
4.1102(a). The Federal Procurement
Data System (FPDS) for FY 2017 was
used to develop the estimated burden
hours as shown below:
Respondents: 974.
Responses per Respondent: 1.
Total Annual Responses: 974.
Hours per Response: 0.1.
Total Burden Hours: 97.4.
Affected Public: Businesses or other
for-profit and not-for-profit institutions.

collection documents from the General
