SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title of Collection: Office of Small and Disadvantaged Business
Utilization Vendor Outreach Form.
OMB Control No.: 3145-New.
Expiration Date of Approval: Not applicable.
Abstract: The purpose of the National Science Foundation's (NSF)
Office of Small and Disadvantaged Business Utilization (OSDBU) Vendor
Information form is to collect vendor contact information (company
name, point of contact name, email address, phone number), along with
identifiers such as NAICS codes, SAM ID, DUNS#, description of
supplies/services, and Socio-economic indicator. This will assist the
NSF OSDBU in maintaining a database of small businesses that can
provide supplies and/or services for requirements listed on the NSF
Acquisition Forecast. Collecting this information supports the mission
of the OSDBU, as outlined in section 15k of the Small Business Act, and
ensures that small businesses can participate in NSF acquisitions to
the maximum extent practicable. In addition, the Biden Administration
has made it a priority to ensure equity in federal contracting via
Executive Order 13985, Advancing Racial Equity and Support for
Underserved Communities through the Federal Government, and implemented
in OMB M-22-03, Advancing Equity in Federal Procurement. The President
directed federal agencies to make Federal contracting and procurement
opportunities more readily available to all eligible vendors and
charged every agency to assess available tools to increase
opportunities for small businesses and underserved entrepreneurs to
compete for Federal contracts. This form will allow us to
[[Page 7881]]
reach vendors, to a greater extent, through our external website on
<a href="http://NSF.gov">NSF.gov</a> and participation in various conferences and conventions, which
ensures NSF complies with these mandates.
Respondents: Small and disadvantaged businesses.
Estimated Number of Annual Respondents: 275.
Burden on the Public: Estimated 15 minutes to fill out the form,
including the collection of data to fill in the fields. This
information should be readily available as most companies have
capability statements that include this information. The estimated
burden time is 69 hours.
Dated: February 7, 2022.
