SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
A. OMB Control Number, Title, and
Any Associated Form(s)
9000–0189, Certain Federal
Acquisition Regulation Part 4
Requirements.
B. Need and Uses
This clearance covers the information
that offerors and contractors must
submit to comply with the following
FAR requirements:
1. FAR 52.204–3, and 52.212–3(l)—
Taxpayer Identification Number (TIN)
Information. When there is not a
requirement to be registered in the
System for Award Management (SAM),
offerors are required to submit their TIN
information by the provision at FAR
52.204–3, Taxpayer Identification, for
other than commercial acquisitions, and
by paragraph (l) of the provision at FAR
52.212–3, Offeror Representations and
Certifications—Commercial Products
and Commercial Services, for
commercial acquisitions.
The TIN information may be used by
the Government to collect and report on
any delinquent amounts arising out of
the offeror’s relationship with the
Government (31 U.S.C. 7701(c)(3)). If a
contract is subject to the payment
reporting requirements in FAR 4.904,
the TIN may be matched with the
Internal Revenue Service records to
verify the accuracy of the TIN submitted
by the offeror.
2. FAR 52.204–6, 52.212–1(j), and
52.204–12—Unique Entity Identifier.
When there is not a requirement to be
registered in SAM, offerors are required
to submit their unique entity identifier
by the provision at FAR 52.204–6,
Unique Entity Identifier, for other than
commercial acquisitions, and by
paragraph (j) of the provision at FAR
52.212–1, Instructions to Offerors—
Commercial Products and Commercial
Services, for commercial acquisitions.
The clause at FAR 52.204–12, Unique
Entity Identifier Maintenance, requires
contractors to maintain their unique
PO 00000
Frm 00083
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
entity identifier with the organization
designated in SAM to issue such
identifiers, for the life of the contract.
The clause also requires contractors to
notify contracting officers of any
changes to the unique entity identifier.
The Government uses the unique
entity identifier to identify contractors
in reporting to the Federal Procurement
Data System (FPDS). FPDS provides a
comprehensive mechanism for
assembling, organizing, and presenting
contract placement data for the Federal
Government. Contracting officers use a
notification provided under FAR
52.204–12 regarding any change to the
unique entity identifier to modify
contracts to reflect the updated unique
entity identifier.
3. FAR 52.204–7, 52.204–13, and
52.212–3(b)—SAM Registration and
Maintenance. The provision at FAR
52.204–7, System for Award
Management, requires offerors to be
registered in SAM when submitting an
offer or quotation and at time of award,
except in certain limited cases, and to
continue to be registered through final
payment of any award that results from
such offer. The clause at FAR 52.204–
13, System for Award Management
Maintenance, requires contractors to
make sure their SAM data is kept
current, accurate, and complete
throughout contract performance and
final payment; this maintenance is, at a
minimum, to be done through an annual
review and update of the contractor’s
SAM registration. Paragraph (b) of the
provision at FAR 52.212–3 contains the
equivalent of FAR 52.204–7 and 52.204–
13, for commercial acquisitions.
The Government use the collected
information to establish a common
source of vendor data to increase
visibility of vendor sources (including
their geographical locations) for specific
supplies and services.
4. FAR 52.204–14, and 52.204–15—
Service Contract Reporting
Requirements. The clauses at FAR
52.204–14, Service Contract Reporting
Requirements, and FAR 52.204–15,
Service Contract Reporting
Requirements for Indefinite-Delivery
Contracts, require contractors to report
the following information in SAM
annually:
(a) Contract number and, as
applicable, order number.
(b) The total dollar amount invoiced
for services performed during the
previous Government fiscal year under
each contract.
(c) The number of contractor direct
labor hours expended on the services
performed during the previous
Government fiscal year.

Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 245 / Friday, December 20, 2024 / Notices
(d) Data reported by each first-tier
subcontractor providing services under
the contract if required to do so.
Section 743 of Division C of the
Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2010
(Pub. L. 111–117) requires executive
agencies covered by the Federal
Activities Inventory Reform Act (Pub. L.
105–270), except DoD, to submit to
OMB an annual inventory of activities
performed by service contractors. DoD is
exempt from this reporting requirement
because 10 U.S.C. 4505(c) already
require DoD to develop an annual
service contract inventory. Civilian
agencies use the service contract
information provided by FAR clauses
52.204–14 and 52.204–15 to supplement
agency annual service contract reporting
requirements with the contractorprovided service contract reporting
information.
5. FAR 52.204–16 and 52.204–18,
Commercial and Government Entity
(CAGE) Code Reporting and
Maintenance. The provision at FAR
52.204–16, Commercial and
Government Entity Code Reporting,
require offerors to provide their CAGE
code, including name and location
address, with their offer. The CAGE
code must be for that name and location
address. The CAGE code is required
prior to award. The clause at FAR
52.204–18, Commercial and
Government Entity Code Maintenance,
requires contractors to maintain their
CAGE code throughout the life of the
contract for each location of contract,
including subcontract, performance.
For contractors registered in SAM, the
Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) CAGE
Branch shall only modify data received
from SAM in the CAGE master file if the
contractor initiates those changes via
update of its SAM registration.
Contractors undergoing a novation or
change-of-name agreement shall notify
the contracting officer in accordance
with FAR subpart 42.12. The contractor
shall communicate any change to the
CAGE code to the contracting officer
within 30 days after the change, so that
a modification can be issued to update
the CAGE code on the contract.
Contractors located in the U.S. or its
outlying areas that are not registered in
SAM shall submit written change
request to the DLA CAGE Branch.
Contractors located outside the U.S. and
its outlying areas that are not registered
in SAM shall contact the appropriate
National Codification Bureau points of
contact to request CAGE changes.
6. FAR 52.204–17, Ownership or
Control of Offeror. This provision
requires offerors to represent whether
they are owned or controlled by another
VerDate Sep<11>2014
20:12 Dec 19, 2024
Jkt 265001
entity, and if so, to provide the CAGE
code and name of such entity.
The CAGE code system may be used,
among other things, to—
(a) Exchange data with another
contracting activity, including contract
administration activities and contract
payment activities;
(b) Exchange data with another
system that requires the unique
identification of a contractor entity; or
(c) Identify when offerors are owned
or controlled by another entity.
7. FAR 52.204–20, Predecessor of
Offeror. This provision requires offerors
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 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 that exceeds the
simplified acquisition threshold.
8. FAR 52.204–23, Prohibition on
Contracting for Hardware, Software, and
Services Developed or Provided by
Kaspersky Lab Covered Entities. This
clause requires contractors to report, in
writing, to the contracting officer or, in
the case of DoD, to the website at
https://dibnet.dod.mil, any instance
when the contractor identifies a covered
article provided to the Government
during contract performance, or if
contractors are notified of such an event
by subcontractors at any tier or any
other source.
Agency personnel will use the
collected information to identify and
remove prohibited hardware, software,
or services from Government use. This
information collection is required to
comply with section 1634 of Division A
of the National Defense Authorization
Act for Fiscal Year 2018 (Pub. L. 115–
91).
