SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
A. OMB Control Number, Title, and Any Associated Form(s)
9000-0157, Architect-Engineer Qualifications, SF-330.
B. Need and Uses
This clearance covers the information that offerors must submit to
comply with the following Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR)
requirement:
Standard Form (SF) 330, Architect-Engineer Qualifications. As
specified in FAR 36.702(b), an architect-engineer firm must provide
information about its qualifications for a specific contract when the
contract amount is expected to exceed the simplified acquisition
threshold (SAT).
Part I--Contract-Specific Qualifications. The information on the
form is reviewed by a selection panel composed of professionals and
assists the panel in selecting the most qualified architect-engineer
firm to perform the specific project. The form is designed to provide a
uniform method for architect-engineer firms to submit information on
experience, personnel, and capabilities of the architect-engineer firm
to perform along with information on the consultants they expect to
collaborate with on the specific project. Part I of the SF 330 may be
used when the contract amount is expected to be at or below the SAT, if
the contracting officer determines that its use is appropriate.
Part II--General Qualifications. The information obtained on this
form is used to determine if a firm should be solicited for architect-
engineer projects. Architect-engineer firms are encouraged to update
the form annually. Part II of the SF 330 is used to obtain information
from an architect-engineer firm about its general professional
qualifications.
The SF 330 accomplishes the following:
<bullet> Expands essential information about qualifications and
experience data including:
<bullet> An organizational chart of all participating firms and key
personnel.
<bullet> For all key personnel, a description of their experience
in 5 relevant projects.
<bullet> A description of each example project performed by the
project team (or some elements of the project team) and its relevance
to the agency's proposed contract.
<bullet> A matrix of key personnel who participated in the example
projects. This matrix graphically illustrates the degree to which the
proposed key personnel have worked together before on similar projects.
<bullet> Reflects current architect-engineer disciplines,
experience types and technology.
<bullet> Permits limited submission length thereby reducing costs
for both the architect-engineer industry and the Government. Lengthy
submissions do not necessarily lead to a better decision on the best-
qualified firm. The proposed SF 330 indicates that agencies may limit
the length of a firm's submissions, either certain sections or the
entire package. The Government's right to impose such limitations was
established in case law (Coffman Specialties, Inc., B-284546. N-284546/
2, 2000 U.S. Comp. Gen. LEXIS 58, May 10, 2000).
The contracting officer uses the information provided on the SF 330
to evaluate firms to select an architect-engineer firm for a contract.
C. Annual Burden
Respondents: 682.
Total Annual Responses: 2,728.
Total Burden Hours: 79,112.
D. Public Comment
A 60-day notice was published in the Federal Register at 88 FR
60209, on August 31, 2023. Two identical comments were received in
<a href="http://Regulations.gov">Regulations.gov</a> but not posted to be publicly viewable because they
were not relevant or responsive to the request for comments. The
identical comments seem to be unsolicited bulk email.
