In compliance with Section 3507(a)(1)(D) of the Paperwork Reduction

the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) a request for review and
approval of the information collection listed below.

Need and Use of Information Collection: The National Cancer
Institute (NCI) Office of Acquisitions (OA), located within the Office
of the Director (OD) in the Office of Management (OM) at the National
Cancer Institute (NCI), awards and administers contracts and simplified
acquisitions in support of the Institute's mission to prevent, diagnose
and treat cancer. During the acquisition process, the OA ensures that
customer service is paramount, and communications are open and
continuous. Currently requests and correspondence are sent to and
received from vendors through email with the exception of the FFRDC
Contractor who submits through the FCAS Vendor Portal which is in
production. To streamline processes, increase transparency and gain
efficiencies, the OA developed OASYS and FCAS vendor portals to replace
processes that are handled through email (future OASYS Vendor Portal
Users) and were (current FCAS Vendor Portal Users) to individual OA
recipients. The FCAS Vendor Portal and in the future, the OASYS Vendor
Portal will serve as a one-stop shop for transmission of requests,
reports, deliverables and other correspondence due on numerous research
and development, in support of R&D contracts as well as those contract
vehicles awarded using various Federal Acquisition Procedures including
but not limited to FAR Part 8, Required Sources of Supplies and
Services, FAR Part 13, Simplified Acquisition Procedures, and FAR Part
12, Acquisition of Commercial Items. These reports and deliverables
cover a wide variety of topics in the areas of cancer research
including prevention, detection, diagnosis, and control.
OMB approval is requested for 3 years. There are no costs to
respondents other than their time. The total estimated annualized
burden hours are 232.
