SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

A. OMB Control Number, Title, and Any Associated Form(s)

    9000-0047, Place of Performance.

B. Need and Uses

    This clearance covers the information that bidders or offerors must 
submit to comply with the following Federal Acquisition Regulation 
(FAR) requirements:
     52.214-14, Place of Performance-Sealed Bidding. This FAR 
provision is prescribed for invitation for bids (i.e., FAR part 14 
procurements) where the Government did not specify the place of 
performance.
     52.215-6, Place of Performance. This FAR provision is 
prescribed for solicitations, when contracting by negotiation (i.e., 
FAR part 15 procurements), where the Government did not specify the 
place of performance.
    Both provisions ask for identical information from bidders or 
offerors: Whether or not they intend to use one or more plants or 
facilities located at a different address from the address of the 
bidder or offeror as indicated in their bid or offer. If the response 
indicates the intention to use plants or facilities located at a 
different location than the bidder's or offeror's address, the 
provisions require that bidders or offerors provide the address(es) of 
the other place(s) of performance, along with name and address of the 
owner and operator of such plant or facility (if other than the bidder 
or offeror).
    The contracting officer uses the place of performance and the owner 
of the plant or facility to--
    (a) Determine prospective contractor responsibility;
    (b) Determine price reasonableness;
    (c) Conduct plant or source inspections; and
    (d) Determine whether the prospective contractor is a manufacturer 
or a regular dealer.
