SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This proposed emergency information
collection request contains:
A. OMB Control Number, Title, and Any Associated Form(s)
9000-0205, Implementation of Federal Acquisition Supply Chain Security
Act (FASCSA) Orders
B. Need and Uses
The DoD, GSA, and NASA provided notification of the applicability
of the Paperwork Reduction Act. Agency and public comments were
solicited through an interim rule under FAR Case 2020-011,
Implementation of FASCSA Orders. This clearance covers the information
that offerors/contractors must submit to comply with the following
interim Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) rule requirements:
a. FAR 52.204-29, Federal Acquisition Supply Chain Security Act
Orders--Representation and Disclosures. This provision prohibits
contractors from providing or using as part of the performance of the
contract any covered article, or any products or services produced or
provided by a source, if the covered article or the source is subject
to an applicable FASCSA order identified in the clause at FAR 52.204-
30(b)(1).
By submitting an offer, offerors are representing compliance with
the prohibition. If an offeror cannot represent compliance with the
prohibition, then the offeror must disclose the following information
in accordance with 52.204-29(e):
(1) Name of the product or service provided to the Government.
(2) Name of the covered article or source subject to a FASCA order.
(3) If applicable, name of the vendor, including the Commercial and
Government Entity code and unique entity identifier (if known), that
supplied the covered article or the product or service to the Offeror.
(4) Brand.
(5) Model number (original equipment manufacturer number,
manufacturer part number, or wholesaler number).
(6) Item description.
(7) Reason why the applicable covered article or the product or
service is being provided or used.
b. FAR 52.204-30, Federal Acquisition Supply Chain Security Act
Orders--Prohibition. This clause requires contractors to provide a
report to the Government within 3 business days if the contractor
identifies that the contractor or any-tier subcontractor, delivered or
used a covered article or product or service subject to a FASCSA order.
The report requires the following information:
(A) Contract number.
(B) Order number(s), if applicable.
(C) Name of the product or service provided to the Government or
used during performance of the contract.
(D) Name of the covered article or source subject to a FASCSA
order.
(E) If applicable, name of the vendor, including the Commercial and
Government Entity code and unique entity identifier (if known), that
supplied the covered article or the product or service to the
Contractor.
(F) Brand.
(G) Model number (original equipment manufacturer number,
manufacturer part number, or wholesaler number).
(H) Item description.
(I) Any readily available information about mitigation actions
undertaken or recommended.
The contractor must also submit additional information within 10
business days of submitting the first report identifying any further
available information about mitigation actions undertaken or
recommended. Additionally, the contractor shall describe the efforts it
undertook to prevent submission or use and any additional efforts to
prevent future submission or use of the covered article or the product
or service produced or provided by a source subject to an applicable
FASCSA order.
Information collected under the provision FAR 52.204-29 will be
used by the government to determine whether to seek a waiver from a
FASCSA order issued under the authority of the Federal Acquisition
Supply Chain Security Act of 2018.
Information collected under the clause at FAR 52.204-30 will
consist of reports from contractors who have identified, post-award,
that a covered article or product or service produced or provided by a
source subject to a FASCSA order was provided or used as part of the
performance of the contract to the Government during contract
performance.
