SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

A. Purpose

    The General Services Administration (GSA) has various mission 
responsibilities related to the acquisition and provision of supplies, 
transportation, information technology, telecommunications, real 
property management, and disposal of real and personal property. These 
mission responsibilities generate requirements that are realized 
through the solicitation and award of public contracts. In Fiscal Year 
2013, these contracts had values ranging from under $100 to over 
$300,000,000.
    Most GSA procurement-related information collections are required 
by the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) or General Services 
Administration Acquisition Regulation (GSAR); each clause requiring 
such a collection must be individually approved by the Office of 
Management and Budget (OMB). However, some solicitations require 
contractors to submit information specific to that contracting action, 
such as information needed to evaluate offers (e.g. specific 
instructions for technical and price proposals, references for past 
performance) or data used to administer resulting contracts (e.g. 
project management plans).
    This information collection is currently associated with GSA's 
information collection requirements contained in solicitations issued 
in accordance with the Uniform Contract Format under FAR Part 14, 
Sealed Bidding (see GSAR 514.201-1); FAR Part 15, Contracting by 
Negotiation (see GSAR 515.204-1); and solicitations under FAR Part 12, 
Acquisition of Commercial Items, when issued in accordance with the 
policy and procedures of FAR Part 14 and FAR Part 15 (see GSAR 
512.301). This includes information collection requirements found in 
GSA Federal Supply Schedule (FSS) solicitations.

B. Annual Reporting Burden

    Respondents: 267,021.
    Responses per Respondent: 1.
    Total Responses: 267,021.
    Hours per Response: .40.
    Total Burden Hours: 66,800.

C. Public Comments

    Public comments are particularly invited on: Whether this 
collection of information is necessary and whether it will have 
practical utility; whether our estimate of the public burden of this 
collection of information is accurate and based on valid assumptions 
and methodology; and ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity 
of the information to be collected.
    Obtaining Copies of Proposals: Requesters may obtain a copy of the 
information collection documents from the General Services 
Administration, Regulatory Secretariat Division (MVCB), 1800 F Street, 
Washington, DC 20405, telephone 202-501-4755. Please cite OMB Control 
No. 3090-0163, Information Specific to a Contract or Contracting Action
