# SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

## A. OMB Control Number, Title, and Any Associated Form(s) 

9000-0037, Presolicitation Notice and Response.

## B. Need and Uses

This clearance covers the information that offerors must submit to comply with the following Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) requirements:
    - FAR 14.205. For sealed bidding, presolicitation notices briefly describe requirements and provide other essential information to enable potential bidders to determine whether they have an interest in the invitation and if appropriate, respond by communicating their interest in receiving the invitation for bid.
    - FAR 15.201(c). For contracting by negotiation, presolicitation notices provide a means of early exchanges of information about future acquisitions between Government and industry, to which potential offerors may respond with feedback concerning acquisition strategy, terms and conditions, and any other concerns or questions.
    - FAR 36.213-2. For construction contracts, presolicitation notices are required for construction requirements in excess of the simplified acquisition threshold to communicate essential information on the requirements, to which potential bidders may respond by communicating their interest in receiving the invitation for bid.

Presolicitation notices are used by the Government to inform, and, where specified, solicit a response from potential offerors or bidders. The primary purposes of the notices are to improve small business access to acquisition information and enhance competition by identifying contracting and subcontracting opportunities.

The contracting officer will use the information as follows:
    - For sealed bidding, to include interested bidders in the distribution of the invitations for bids; and
    - For contracting by negotiation, to consider the industry feedback in shaping the acquisition strategy.
