1406, 1407, and 1408).
B. Need and Uses
Contracting officers, prior to award, must make an affirmative
determination that the prospective contractor is responsible, i.e.,
capable of performing the contract. Before making such a determination,
the contracting officer must have or obtain sufficient information to
establish that the prospective contractor: has adequate financial
resources; or the ability to obtain such resources; is able to comply
with required delivery schedule; has a satisfactory record of
performance; has a satisfactory record of integrity; and is otherwise
qualified and eligible to receive an award under appropriate laws and
regulations. If such information is not readily available to the
contracting officer, it is obtained through a preaward survey conducted
by the contract administration office or another organization
designated by the agency to conduct the surveys. The necessary data is
collected from available data or through plant visits, phone calls, and
correspondence in detail commensurate with the dollar value and
complexity of the procurement. This clearance covers the information
that prospective contractors must provide to ensure proper completion
of the following preaward survey forms prescribed by the Federal
Acquisition Regulation (FAR):

(General)
