Supplement (DFARS) Part 270, Defense Contracting Programs; Pilot
Program to Incentivize Contracting with Employee-Owned Businesses; OMB
Control Number 0750-0012.
Type of Request: New submission.

Number of Respondents: 16.
Responses per Respondent: 1.

Needs and Uses: This information collection is a result of a new
DFARS requirement to implement the data collection required by section
874 of the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA for Fiscal Year
(FY) 2022 (Pub. L. 117-81), as amended by section 872 of the NDAA for
FY 2024 (Pub. L. 118-31). The DFARS implementation of this requirement
includes a new contract clause, which requires contractors to provide
data on the following: (1) the number of years the contractor has been
wholly-owned by its employee stock ownership plan; (2) the contractor's
challenges in attracting and retaining a talented workforce; (3)
challenges the contractor experienced due to its corporate ownership
structure that hinder its ability to contract with DoD in order to
scale its technologies and capabilities; and (4) challenges the
contractor experienced due to its corporate ownership structure in
obtaining capital necessary to bridge funding gaps, for example,
between prototype demonstration and full-scale development. The data
will be used to develop and share best practices relating to the pilot
program and to provide information to DoD leadership and the
congressional defense committees.

information collection proposal should be sent to Mr. Lucas at <a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection#f4839c87da9997d99598918cda918790da99968cda9090d9909b90d99d9a929b869995809d9b9ad9979b98989197809d9b9a87b499959d98da999d98"><span class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="a2d5cad18ccfc18fc3cec7da8cc7d1c68ccfc0da8cc6c68fc6cdc68fcbccc4cdd0cfc3d6cbcdcc8fc1cdcecec7c1d6cbcdccd1e2cfc3cbce8ccfcbce">[email protected]</span></a>.
