    9000-0027, Value Engineering Requirements.

B. Need and Uses

    This justification supports an extension of OMB Control No. 9000-
0027. This clearance covers the information that contractors must 
submit to comply with the following Federal Acquisition Regulation 
(FAR) requirements:
     FAR 52.248-1, Value Engineering; 52.248-2, Value 
Engineering-Architect-Engineer; and 52.248-3, Value Engineering-
Construction.
    These clauses require contractors submitting Value Engineering 
Change Proposals (VECP's) to the Government to provide such details as: 
(1) A description of the differences between the existing contract 
requirement and the proposed requirement, and the comparative 
advantages and disadvantages of each; (2) a list and analysis of 
contract requirements that must be changed if the VECP is accepted; (3) 
a detailed cost estimate showing anticipated reductions associated with 
the VECP; (4) a statement of the time a modification accepting the VECP 
must be issued to achieve maximum cost reduction, and the effect on 
contract completion time; and (5) identification of any previous 
submissions of the VECP; the agencies and contract numbers involved and 
previous Government actions, if known.
    The Government will use the collected information to evaluate the 
VECP and, if accepted, to arrange for an equitable sharing plan.
