Submission for OMB Review; Certain 

Federal Acquisition Regulation Part 28 

Requirements 

AGENCY: Department of Defense (DOD), 

General Services Administration (GSA), 

and National Aeronautics and Space 

Administration (NASA). 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: Under the provisions of the 

Paperwork Reduction Act, the 

Regulatory Secretariat Division has 

submitted to the Office of Management 

and Budget (OMB) a request to review 

and approve a revision of a previously 

approved information collection 

requirement regarding certain Federal 

Acquisition Regulation (FAR) part 28 

requirements. 

DATES: Submit comments on or before 

December 28, 2023. 

ADDRESSES: Written comments and 

recommendations for this information 

collection should be sent within 30 days 

of publication of this notice to 

www.reginfo.gov/public/do/PRAMain.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

A. OMB Control Number, Title, and 

Any Associated Form(s) 

OMB Control No. 9000–0001, Certain 

Federal Acquisition Regulation Part 28 

Requirements, Standard Forms (SF) 24, 

25, 25–A, 25–B, 28, 34, 35, 273, 274, 

275, 1414, 1415, 1416, and 1418. 

B. Need and Uses 

DoD, GSA, and NASA are combining 

OMB Control Nos. by FAR part. This 

consolidation is expected to improve 

industry’s ability to easily and 

efficiently identify burdens associated 

with a given FAR part. The review of 

the information collections by FAR part 

allows improved oversight to ensure 

there is no redundant or unaccounted 

for burden placed on industry. Lastly, 

combining information collections in a 

given FAR part is also expected to 

reduce the administrative burden 

associated with processing multiple 

information collections. 

This justification supports the 

extension of OMB Control No. 9000– 

0001 and combines it with the 

previously approved information 

collections under OMB Control No. 

9000–0045, with the new title ‘‘Certain 

Federal Acquisition Regulation Part 28 

Requirements’’. Upon approval of this 

consolidated information collection, 

OMB Control No. 9000–0045 will be 

discontinued. The burden requirements 

previously approved under the 

discontinued number will be covered 

under OMB Control No. 9000–0001. 

This clearance covers the information 

that offerors or contractors must submit 

to comply with the following FAR 

requirements: 

• FAR 52.228–1, Bid Guarantee. This 

provision (or clause) requires offerors or 

contractors to furnish a bid guarantee in 

the proper form and amount when a 

performance bond or a performance and 

payment bond is also required. (SF 24, 

Bid Bond; SF 34, Annual Bid Bond). 

• FAR 52.228–2, Additional Bond 

Security. This clause requires 

contractors to furnish additional bond 

security under certain circumstances. 

This clause is used both for construction 

and other than construction contracts. 

(SF 1414 Consent of Surety and SF 

1415, Consent of Surety and Increase of 

Penalty). 

• FAR 52.228–13, Alternative 

Payment Protections. This clause 

requires contractors to submit one of the 

payment protections listed in the clause 

by the contracting officer, in 

construction contracts greater than 

$35,000 but not exceeding $150,000. 

• FAR 52.228–14, Irrevocable Letter 

of Credit. This clause requires offerors 

or contractors to provide certain 

information when they intend to use an 

irrevocable letter of credit (ILC) in lieu 

of a required bid bond, or to secure 

other types of required bonds such as 

performance and payment bonds. This 

clause is required in solicitations and 

contracts when a bid guarantee, or 

performance bond, or performance and 

payment bonds are required. 

• FAR 52.228–15, Performance and 

Payment Bonds—Construction. This 

clause requires contractors to provide 

performance and payment bonds in 

construction contracts exceeding 

$150,000 (SF 25, Performance Bond; SF 

25–A, Payment Bond; SF 25–B, 

Continuation Sheet (for SF’s 24, 25, and 

25–A); SF 273, Reinsurance Agreement 

for a Bonds Statute Performance Bond; 

SF 274, Reinsurance Agreement for a 

Bonds Statute Payment Bond). 

• FAR 52.228–16, Performance and 

Payment Bonds—Other Than 

Construction. This clause requires 

contractors to furnish performance and 

payment bonds for other than 

construction contracts exceeding the 

simplified acquisition threshold only in 

certain circumstances. (SF 35, Annual 

Performance Bond; SF 275, Reinsurance 

Agreement in Favor of the United 

States; SF 1416, Payment Bond for 

Other Than Construction Contracts; SF 

1418, Performance Bond for Other Than 

Construction Contracts). 

• Standard Form (SF) 28, Affidavit of 

Individual Surety. This form is used by 

all executive agencies, including DoD, 

to obtain information from individuals 

wishing to serve as sureties to 

Government bonds. Offerors and 

contractors may use an individual 

surety as security for bonds required 

under a solicitation or contract for 

supplies or services (including 

construction). It is an elective decision 

on the part of the offeror or contractor 

to use individual sureties instead of 

other available sources of surety or 

sureties for Government bonds. 

The Government retains the bid 

guarantees, bonds, or alternative

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.
