PREAWARD SURVEY: In order to determine the responsibility of the prime contractor or any subcontractor, 

the Government reserves the right to conduct an on-site pre-award survey at the contractor's/subcontractor's 

facility or to require other evidence of technical, production, managerial, financial, and similar abilities to 

perform, prior to the award of a contract. As part of the financial determination, the contractor in line for award 

may be required to provide one or more of the following financial documents: 

1) Most recent profit and loss statement 

2) Most recent balance sheets 

3) Statement of cash flows 

4) Current official bank statement 

5) Current lines of credit (with amounts available) 

6) Letter of commitment from paper supplier(s)

The documents will be reviewed to validate that adequate financial resources are available to perform the 

contract requirements. Documents submitted will be kept confidential, and used only for the determination of 

responsibility by the Government. Failure to provide the requested information in the time specified by the 

Government may result in the Contracting Officer not having adequate information to reach an affirmative 

determination of responsibility. 

PAYMENT: Submitting invoices for payment via the GPO fax gateway (if no samples are required) utilizing 

the GPO barcode coversheet program application is the most efficient method of invoicing.
