48 CFR Part 53

[FAC 90-23; FAR Case 91-84; Item XXXVI]
RIN 9000-AF29


Federal Acquisition Regulation; Standard Form 18, Request for 
Quotations

AGENCIES: Department of Defense (DOD), General Services Administration 
(GSA), and National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA).

ACTION: Final rule.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Civilian Agency Acquisition Council and the Defense 
Acquisition Regulations Council have agreed on a final rule to amend 
Standard Form 18, Request for Quotations, by deleting the Small 
Business Concern Representation and the Notice of Small Business Small-
Purchase Set-Aside from the reverse side of the form and adding the 
Standard Industrial Classification Code and small business size 
standard to the face of the form. Corresponding changes are made to the 
face of the form for clarification. The deleted provisions will be 
attached to the form along with other applicable provisions and 
representations. This regulatory action was not subject to Office of 
Management and Budget (OMB) review under Executive Order 12866, dated 
September 30, 1993.

EFFECTIVE DATE: February 27, 1995.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ms. Shirley Scott at (202) 501-0168 in 
reference to this FAR case. For general information, contact the FAR 
Secretariat, room 4037, GS Building, Washington, DC 20405 (202) 501-
4755. Please cite FAC 90-23, FAR case 91-84.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

A. Background

    The changes to the form were determined to be necessary by the two 
Councils because of the frequency of changes to the provisions on the 
reverse of the form.

B. Regulatory Flexibility Act

    The Department of Defense, the General Services Administration, and 
the National Aeronautics and Space Administration certify that this 
final rule will not have a significant economic impact on a substantial 
number of small entities under the Regulatory Flexibility Act, 5 U.S.C. 
601, et seq., because the amendment imposes no requirements of any kind 
upon small entities; it is a change to internal Government procedures.

C. Paperwork Reduction Act

    The Paperwork Reduction Act does not apply because the changes do 
not impose recordkeeping or information collection requirements, or 
collections of information from offerors, contractors, or members of 
the public which require the approval of the OMB under 44 U.S.C. 3501, 
et seq.
