This review is risk-based and may or may not include the review of all quality assurance records. Generally, the records are more likely to be reviewed when the contractor is not meeting quality standards or as part of Government Contract quality assurance surveillance for complex requirements. Subject matter experts estimate these records are requested from 10 percent or fewer of contractors. The information is used to assure that supplies and services provided under Government contracts conform to contract requirements. • FAR 52.246–15, Certificate of Conformance. This clause requires the contractor to complete and sign a certificate of conformance (CoC). This clause is used in solicitations and contracts for supplies or services at the discretion of the contracting officer when it is in the Government’s interest, small losses would be incurred in the event of a defect; or because of the contractor’s reputation or past performance, or when it is likely that the supplies or services furnished will be acceptable and any defective work would be replaced, corrected, or repaired without contest. • FAR 52.246–26, Reporting Nonconforming Items. This clause requires contractors to provide written notification to the contracting officer within 60 days of becoming aware or having reason to suspect, such as through inspection, testing, record review, or notification from another source (e.g., seller, customer, third party) that any end item, component, subassembly, part, or material contained in supplies purchased by the contractor for delivery to, or for, the Government is counterfeit or suspect counterfeit. This clause requires certain contractors to submit a report to the GovernmentIndustry Data Exchange Program (GIDEP) system at www.gidep.org within 60 days of becoming aware or having reason to suspect, such as through inspection, testing, record review, or notification from another source (e.g., seller, customer, third party) that an item purchased by the contractor for delivery to, or for, the Government is a counterfeit or suspect counterfeit item; or a common item that has a major or critical nonconformance. This information will be used by the Government to address and detect nonconforming and counterfeit items. Perhaps more important, this information will be available to businesses for searching prior to placing orders, thus enabling the avoidance of VerDate Sep<11>2014 18:31 Sep 13, 2022 Jkt 256001 purchasing counterfeit items in the first place.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 
    Description: In 2020, ACF's Office on Trafficking in Persons issued

sustain organizational and community capacity to deliver services to 
Native Americans (i.e., American Indians, Alaska Natives, Native 
Hawaiians, and/or Pacific Islanders) who have experienced human 
trafficking through the provision of direct services, assistance, and 
referrals. The purpose of the proposed data collection is to obtain a 
comprehensive understanding of the VHT-NC projects and their 
communities, including implementation strengths and challenges. A 
primary aim is to conduct a participatory and culturally responsive 
formative evaluation that is informed by and respects the knowledge, 
values, and traditions of the communities implementing the VHT-NC 
projects.
    The proposed data collection will include semi-structured 
interviews with VHT-NC project staff, project participants (adults who

groups. Interview topics will include community context, project goals 
and design, organizational and staff characteristics, partnerships, 
outreach and identification approaches, case management and service

specialized services staff), project participants (adults who have 
received assistance from the VHT-NC project), and key project partner 
staff.
