Standard Form 330, Architect-Engineer Qualifications

***Background:*** FAC 01-18 as amended by FAC 01-19, replaced Standard
Form (SF) 255, Architect-Engineer and Related Services Questionnaire for
Specific Projects, with Standard Form (SF) 330, Architect-Engineer
Qualifications. The effective date for use of the new form is June 8,
2004. The NFS at 1805.207-70 currently references the SF 255. This
change to the NFS amends the reference at 1805.207-70 to read "Standard
Form 330, Part I -- Contract Specific Qualifications" consistent with
the FAR.

***ACQUISITIONS AFFECTED BY CHANGES:*** All synopses for
Architect-Engineer Services.

*ACTION REQUIRED BY CONTRACTING OFFICERS:* Reference the new SF 330 in
synopses for Architect-Engineer Services.

***CLAUSE CHANGES:*** None

***PARTS AFFECTED:*** Changes are made to Part 1805.

*REPLACEMENT PAGES:* You may use the enclosed pages to replace 5:1 and
5:2 of the NFS.

***TYPE OF RULE AND PUBLICATION DATE:*** Not applicable. This change
does not have a significant effect beyond the internal operating
procedures of the Agency or have a significant cost or administrative
impact on contractors or offerors and therefore does not require
codification in the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) or publication for
public comment.
