Abstract
In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, and the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) regulations, DoD, GSA, and NASA invite the public to comment on an extension concerning presolicitation notice and response. DoD, GSA, and NASA invite comments on: whether the proposed collection of information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of Federal Government acquisitions, including whether the information will have practical utility; the accuracy of the estimate of the burden of the proposed information collection; ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; and ways to minimize the burden of the information collection on respondents, including the use of automated collection techniques or other forms of information technology. OMB has approved this information collection for use through March 31, 2024. DoD, GSA, and NASA propose that OMB extend its approval for use for three additional years beyond the current expiration date.

B. Need and Uses
This clearance covers the information that offerors must submit to
comply with the following Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR)
requirements:
<bullet> FAR 14.205. For sealed bidding, presolicitation notices
briefly describe requirements and provide other essential information
to enable potential bidders to determine whether they have an interest
in the invitation and if appropriate, respond by communicating their
interest in receiving the invitation for bid.
<bullet> FAR 15.201(c). For contracting by negotiation,
presolicitation notices provide a means of early exchanges of
information about future acquisitions between Government and industry,
to which potential offerors may respond with feedback concerning
acquisition strategy, terms and conditions, and any other concerns or
questions.
<bullet> FAR 36.213-2. For construction contracts, presolicitation
notices are required for construction requirements in excess of the
simplified acquisition threshold to communicate essential information
on the requirements, to which potential bidders may respond by
communicating their interest in receiving the invitation for bid.
Presolicitation notices are used by the Government to inform, and,
where specified, solicit a response from potential offerors or bidders.
The primary purposes of the notices are to improve small business
access to acquisition information and enhance competition by
identifying contracting and subcontracting opportunities.
The contracting officer will use the information as follows:
<bullet> For sealed bidding, to include interested bidders in the
distribution of the invitations for bids; and
<bullet> For contracting by negotiation, to consider the industry
feedback in shaping the acquisition strategy.
