SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
A. OMB Control Number, Title, and Any Associated Form(s)
9000-0157, Architect-Engineer Qualifications (SF-330).
B. Need and Uses
This clearance covers the information that offerors must submit to
comply with the following Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR)
requirement:
Standard Form (SF) 330, Architect-Engineer Qualifications
As specified in FAR 36.702(b), an architect-engineer firm must
provide information about its qualifications for a specific contract
when the contract amount is expected to exceed the simplified
acquisition threshold. Part I of the SF 330 may be used when the
contract amount is expected to be at or below the simplified
acquisition threshold, if the contracting officer determines that its
use is appropriate. Part II of the SF 330 is used to obtain information
from an architect-engineer firm about its general professional
qualifications.
The SF 330 accomplishes the following:
Expands essential information about qualifications and
experience data including:
An organizational chart of all participating firms and key
personnel.
For all key personnel, a description of their experience
in 5 relevant projects.
A description of each example project performed by the
project team (or some elements of the project team) and its relevance
to the agency's proposed contract.
A matrix of key personnel who participated in the example
projects. This matrix graphically illustrates the degree to which the
proposed key personnel have worked together before on similar projects.
Reflects current architect-engineer disciplines,
experience types and technology.
Permits limited submission length thereby reducing costs
for both the architect-engineer industry and the Government. Lengthy
submissions do not necessarily lead to a better decision on the best-
qualified firm. The proposed SF 330 indicates that agencies may limit
the length of firm's submissions, either certain sections or the entire
package. The Government's right to impose such limitations was
established in case law (Coffman Specialties, Inc., B-284546. N-284546/
2, 2000 U.S.Comp.Gen.LEXIS 58, May 10, 2000).
The contracting officer uses the information provided on the SF 330
to evaluate firms to select an architect-engineer firm for a contract.

Respondents: 411.
Total Annual Responses: 1,644.
Total Burden Hours: 47,676.
