Any Associated Form(s)
9000–0157, Architect-Engineer
Qualifications, SF–330.
B. Need and Uses
This clearance covers the information
that offerors must submit to comply
with the following Federal Acquisition
Regulation (FAR) requirement:
27 Dodd-Frank
VerDate Sep<11>2014
Act section 807, 12 U.S.C. 5466.

Standard Form (SF) 330, ArchitectEngineer Qualifications. As specified in
FAR 36.702(b), an architect-engineer
firm must provide information about its
qualifications for a specific contract
when the contract amount is expected to
exceed the simplified acquisition
threshold (SAT).
Part I—Contract-Specific
Qualifications. The information on the
form is reviewed by a selection panel
composed of professionals and assists
the panel in selecting the most qualified
architect-engineer firm to perform the
specific project. The form is designed to
provide a uniform method for architectengineer firms to submit information on
experience, personnel, and capabilities
of the architect-engineer firm to perform
along with information on the
consultants they expect to collaborate
with on the specific project. Part I of the
SF 330 may be used when the contract
amount is expected to be at or below the
SAT, if the contracting officer
determines that its use is appropriate.
Part II—General Qualifications. The
information obtained on this form is
used to determine if a firm should be
solicited for architect-engineer projects.
Architect-engineer firms are encouraged
to update the form annually. Part II of
the SF 330 is used to obtain information
from an architect-engineer firm about its
general professional qualifications.
The SF 330 accomplishes the
following:
• Expands essential information
about qualifications and experience data
including:
• An organizational chart of all
participating firms and key personnel.
• For all key personnel, a description
of their experience in 5 relevant
projects.
• A description of each example
project performed by the project team
(or some elements of the project team)
and its relevance to the agency’s
proposed contract.
• A matrix of key personnel who
participated in the example projects.
This matrix graphically illustrates the
degree to which the proposed key
personnel have worked together before
on similar projects.
• Reflects current architect-engineer
disciplines, experience types and
technology.
• Permits limited submission length
thereby reducing costs for both the
architect-engineer industry and the
Government. Lengthy submissions do
not necessarily lead to a better decision
on the best-qualified firm. The proposed
SF 330 indicates that agencies may limit
the length of a firm’s submissions, either
certain sections or the entire package.
The Government’s right to impose such

(Coffman Specialties, Inc., B–284546.
N–284546/2, 2000 U.S. Comp. Gen.
LEXIS 58, May 10, 2000).
The contracting officer uses the
information provided on the SF 330 to
evaluate firms to select an architectengineer firm for a contract.

Proposed Project
Overdose Data to Action (OD2A)—
LOCAL Linkage to and Retention in
Care Surveillance—New—National
Center for Injury Prevention and Control
(NCIPC), Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
In the United States, opioid overdose
deaths have increased significantly over
the years. Drug overdose deaths in the
United States increased by 14% from
2020 to 2021. Of the 106,699 drug
overdose deaths in 2021, over 75%
involved an opioid. Deaths involving
psychostimulants, such as
methamphetamine, also increased from
2020 to 2021. Scaling up prevention and
surveillance activities to address
substance misuse and nonfatal and fatal
drug overdoses are priorities for the
Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC). Evidence shows that
reducing drug overdoses requires
increased capacity for linking people to
treatment and harm reduction services
and improving retention across care
settings. Linking individuals with a
substance use disorder to treatment and
harm reduction is a key strategy for
saving lives and it is crucial that
jurisdictions implement surveillance
strategies that can inform and improve
their linkage to and retention in care
activities.
In September 2023, CDC launched a
new surveillance program as part of the

Sfmt 4703
Overdose through Collaborative Actions
in Localities (OD2A: LOCAL) Notice of
Funding Opportunity (NOFO): Linkage
to and Retention in Care surveillance.
Linkage to Care is a five-year NOFO
which connects individuals at risk of
overdose to evidence-based treatment,
services, and supports, thereby reducing
future overdoses and other harms
associated with substance use.
Implementation of surveillance systems
to collect data on standardized Linkage
to and Retention in Care indicators is
needed so that health departments can
measure the impact of their linkage to
care programs, inform overdose
prevention activities, and appropriately
allocate public health resources where
they are most needed.
Funded local health departments will
be tasked with the collection and
sharing of standardized Linkage to and
Retention in Care indicators with CDC,
as part of this effort. Local health
departments are uniquely suited to
implement surveillance systems for
standardized Linkage to and Retention
in Care (LTC) indicators due to their
proximity to the communities they serve
and access to data from local linkage to
care programs and activities. Following
an extensive environmental scan and
with input from local and state overdose
prevention and response programs, the
CDC defined a substance use disorder
cascade of care (CoC) and a set of
minimum standard measures to assess
local LTC efforts. The overarching goal
of this initiative hinges on generating
actionable data that jurisdictions can
leverage to enhance and fine-tune their
linkage to and retention in care
programs. Linkage to and Retention in
Care surveillance will also foster a
robust foundation for deriving insights
into disparities, unmet needs, and
optimal practices across the CoC. This
approach will help standardize data
processes to drive data-to-action
decision making and improve intrajurisdictional comparisons over time to
drive better health outcomes.
Ultimately, a standardized approach
ensures that a greater number of
individuals access the care they require
and drives meaningful change in how
individuals are connected to care.
CDC requests OMB approval for an
estimated 240 annual burden hours for
this collection. There are no costs to
respondents other than their time.

acting through the National Center for
Health Statistics (NCHS), to collect data
about the health of the population of the
United States. Rapid Surveys System
(RSS)(OMB Control No. 0920–1408)
collects data on emerging public health
topics, attitudes, and behaviors using
cross-sectional samples from two
commercially available, national
probability-based online panels. The
RSS then combines these data to form
estimates that approximate national
representation in ways that many data
collection approaches cannot. The RSS
collects data in contexts in which
decision makers’ need for time-sensitive
data of known quality about emerging
and priority health concerns is a higher
priority than their need for statistically
unbiased estimates.
The RSS complements NCHS’s
current household survey systems. As
quicker turnaround surveys that require
less accuracy and precision than CDC’s
more rigorous population representative
surveys, the RSS incorporates multiple
mechanisms to carefully evaluate the
resulting survey data for their
appropriateness for use in public health
surveillance and research (e.g.,
hypothesis generating) and facilitates
continuous quality improvement by
supplementing these panels with
intensive efforts to understand how well
the estimates reflect populations at most
risk. The RSS data dissemination
strategy communicates the strengths and
limitations of data collected through
online probability panels as compared
to more robust data collection methods.
The RSS has three major goals: (1) to
provide CDC and other partners with
time-sensitive data of known quality
about emerging and priority health
concerns; (2) to use these data
collections to continue NCHS’s
evaluation of the quality of public
health estimates generated from
