0704–0225.

Needs and Uses: DoD uses this information to control unclassified contract data that is sensitive and inappropriate for release to the public; and to facilitate data exchange among automated systems for contract award, contract administration, and contract payment by assigning a unique code to each DoD contractor.

Affected Public: Businesses or other for-profit and not-for-profit institutions.

Annual Burden Hours: 11,177. Number of Respondents: 10,751. Responses per Respondent: 1. Annual Responses: 10,751. Average Burden per Response: 1.04 hours.

DFARS 204.404–70(a) prescribes use of DFARS Clause 252.204–7000, Disclosure of Information, in contracts that require the contractor to access or generate unclassified information that may be sensitive and inappropriate for release to the public. The clause requires the contractor to obtain approval of the contracting officer before release of any unclassified contract-related information outside the contractor’s organization, unless the information is already in the public domain. In requesting this approval, the contractor must identify the specific information to be released, the medium to be used, and the purpose for the release.

DFARS 204.7207 prescribes use of the DFARS provision 252.204–7001, Commercial and Government Entity (CAGE) Code Reporting, in solicitations when CAGE codes for potential offerors are not available to the contracting officer. The provision requires an offeror to enter its CAGE code on its offer. If an offeror does not have a CAGE code, the offeror may request one from the contracting officer, who will ask the offeror to complete section B of DD Form 2051, Request for Assignment of a Commercial and Government Entity (CAGE) Code.

**SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION :** 

Title, Associated Form, and OMB Number: Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) Subpart 215.4, Contract Pricing; DD Form 1861, Contract Facilities Capital Cost of Money; OMB Control Number
0704–0232.

Needs and Uses: DoD contracting officers use DD Form 1861 in computing profit objectives for negotiated contracts. A DD Form 1861 is normally completed for each proposal for a contract for supplies or services that is priced and negotiated on the basis of cost analysis. The form enables contracting officers to differentiate profit objectives for various types of contractor assets (land, buildings, equipment). DoD needs this information to develop appropriate profit objectives when negotiating Government contracts.

DoD contracting officers need the information required by DFARS 215.407–5, Estimating systems, and the related contract clause at 252.215–7002, Cost Estimating System Requirements, to determine if a contractor has an acceptable system for generating cost estimates, and to monitor the correction of any deficiencies.

Affected Public: Businesses and other for-profit entities.

Number of Respondents: 10,300. Responses per Respondent: Approximately 5.

Annual Responses: 53,458. Average Burden per Response: Approximately 10 hours.

Annual Response Burden Hours: 538,480.

Reporting Frequency: On occasion. Summary of Information Collection

DFARS 215.404–71–4, Facilities capital employed, requires the use of DD Form 1861 as a means of linking Form CASB–CMF, Facilities Capital Cost of Money Factors Computation, and DD Form 1547, Record of Weighted Guidelines Application. The contracting officer uses DD Form 1861 to record and compute contract facilities capital cost of money and facilities capital employed, and carries the facilities capital employed amount to DD Form 1547 to develop a profit objective. When the weighted guidelines method is used as one of the three structured approaches for developing a prenegotiation profit or fee objective in accordance with DFARS 215.404–4, completion of DD Form 1861 requires contractor information not included on Form CASB–CMF, i.e., distribution percentages of land, buildings, and equipment for the business unit performing the contract.

DFARS 215.407–5, Estimating systems, and the clause at 252.215– 7002, Cost Estimating System Requirements, require that certain large business contractors—

Æ Establish an acceptable cost estimating system and disclose the estimating system to the administrative contracting officer (ACO) in writing;

Æ Maintain the estimating system and disclose significant changes in the system to the ACO on a timely basis; and

Æ Respond in writing to written reports from the Government that identify deficiencies in the estimating system.
