B. Needs and Uses

    This clearance covers the information that contractors must submit 
to comply with the following Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 
requirements:
    52.219-28, Post-Award Small Business Program Rerepresentation. This 
clause requires contractors who originally represented themselves as a 
small business for a contract award to rerepresent their size and 
socioeconomic status at the prime contract level by updating their 
representations in the Representations and Certifications section of 
the System for Award Management (SAM). Contractors are also required to 
notify the contracting officer by email, or otherwise in writing, that 
the rerepresentations have been made, and provide the date on which 
they were made.
    Small business contractors are required to rerepresent their size 
and socioeconomic status upon occurrence of any of the following:
     Within 30 days after execution of a novation agreement or 
within 30 days after modification of the contract to include FAR clause 
52.219-28 if the novation agreement was executed prior to inclusion of 
this clause in the contract.
     Within 30 days after a merger or acquisition that does not 
require a novation or within 30 days after modification of the contract 
to include FAR clause 52.219-28 if the merger or acquisition occurred 
prior to inclusion of this clause in the contract.
     For long-term contracts--
    Within 60 to 120 days prior to the end of the fifth year of the 
contract; and
    Within 60 to 120 days prior to the date specified in the contract 
for exercising any option thereafter.
     When contracting officers explicitly require it for an 
order issued under a multiple-award contract.
    The collected information is used by the Small Business 
Administration, Congress, Federal agencies and the general public for 
various reasons such as determining if agencies are meeting statutory 
goals, set-aside determinations, and market research.
