Certification. 

B. Need and Uses 

This clearance covers the information 

that contractors must submit to comply 

with the requirements of the Federal 

Acquisition Regulation clause at 

52.229–2, North Carolina State and 

Local Sales and Use Tax. This clause 

requires contractors for construction or 

vessel repair to be performed in North 

Carolina to provide certified statements 

of the cost of the property purchased 

from each vendor and the amount of 

sales or use taxes paid. The North 

Carolina Sales and Use Tax Act 

authorizes counties and incorporated 

cities and towns, to obtain each year 

from the Commissioner of Revenue of 

the State of North Carolina, a refund of 

sales and use taxes indirectly paid on 

building materials, supplies, fixtures, 

and equipment that become a part of or 

are annexed to any building or structure 

in North Carolina. However, to 

substantiate a refund claim for sales or 

use taxes paid on purchases of building 

materials, supplies, fixtures, or 

equipment by a contractor, the 

Government must secure from the 

contractor certified statements setting 

forth the cost of the property purchased 

from each vendor and the amount of 

sales or use taxes paid. Similar certified 

statements by subcontractors must be 

obtained by the general contractor and 

furnished to the Government. 

The Government will use the 

information as evidence to establish 

exemption from State and local taxes.

Respondents: 182. 

Total Annual Responses: 182. 

Total Burden Hours: 227.5.

B. Need and Uses 

This clearance covers the information 

that offerors and contractors must 

submit to comply with the following 

FAR requirements: 

1. FAR 15.407–2(e), Make-or-buy 

programs. When prospective contractors 

are required to submit proposed makeor-buy program plans for negotiated 

acquisitions, paragraph (e) requires the 

following information in their proposal: 

(a) A description of each major item 

or work effort; 

(b) Categorization of each major item 

or work effort as ‘‘must make,’’ ‘‘must 

buy,’’ or ‘‘can either make or buy’’; 

(c) For each item or work effort 

categorized as ‘‘can either make or buy,’’ 

a proposal either to ‘‘make’’ or to ‘‘buy’’; 

(d) Reasons for categorizing items and 

work efforts as ‘‘must make’’ or ‘‘must 

buy,’’ and proposing to ‘‘make’’ or to 

‘‘buy’’ those categorized as ‘‘can either 

make or buy’’; 

(e) Designation of the plant or 

division proposed to make each item or 

perform each work effort, and a 

statement as to whether the existing or 

proposed new facility is in or near a 

labor surplus area; 

(f) Identification of proposed 

subcontractors, if known, and their 

location and size status; 

(g) Any recommendations to defer 

make-or-buy decisions when 

categorization of some items or work 

efforts is impracticable at the time of 

submission; and 

(h) Any other information the 

contracting officer requires in order to 

evaluate the program. 

2. FAR 52.215–1(c)(2)(iv)— 

Authorized Negotiators. This provision 

requires firms offering supplies or 

services to the Government under 

negotiated solicitations to provide the 

names, titles, and telephone and 

facsimile numbers (and electronic 

addresses if available) of authorized 

negotiators to assure that discussions 

are held with authorized individuals. 

Contracting officers use this 

information during contract negotiations 

and it becomes part of the official 

contract file. 

3. FAR 52.215–9, Changes or 

Additions to Make-or-Buy Program. 

This clause requires the contractor to 

submit, in writing, for the contracting 

officer’s advance approval a notification 

and justification of any proposed change 

in the make-or-buy program 

incorporated in the contract. 

Contracting officers use the 

information collected regarding makeor-buy programs at FAR 15.407–2(e) and 

52.215–9 to ensure negotiation of 

reasonable contract prices, satisfactory 

performance, or implementation of 

socioeconomic policies. 

4. FAR 52.215–14—Integrity of Unit 

Prices. This clause requires offerors and 

contractors under negotiated 

solicitations and contracts to identify 

those supplies which they will not 

manufacture or to which they will not 

contribute significant value, if requested 

by the contracting officer or when 

contracting without adequate price 

competition. 

When a contract action is priced on 

the basis of a cost estimate, contracting 

officers use this information to 

determine whether the intrinsic value of 

an item has been distorted through 

allocation of overhead costs and 

whether such items should be 

considered for breakout. 

5. FAR 52.215–19—Notification of 

Ownership Changes. This clause 

requires contractors to notify the 

administrative contracting officer when 

the contractor becomes aware that a 

change in its ownership has occurred, or 

is certain to occur, that could result in 

changes in the valuation of its 

capitalized assets in the accounting 

records. 

The notification of ownership change 

enables the Government to adequately 

administer the cost principle at FAR 

31.205–52, Asset valuations resulting 

from business combinations, which 

addresses the allowability of certain 

costs resulting from asset valuations 

following business combinations. 

6. FAR 52.215–22, Limitations on 

Pass-Through Charges—Identification of 

Subcontract Effort. This provision 

requires offerors submitting a proposal 

for a contract, task order, or delivery 

order to provide the following 

information with their proposal: 

(a) The total cost of the work to be 

performed by the offeror, and the total 

cost of the work to be performed by each 

subcontractor; 

(b) If the offeror intends to 

subcontract more than 70 percent of the 

total cost of work to be performed, the 

amount of the offeror’s indirect costs 

and profit/fee applicable to the work to 

be performed by the subcontractor(s), 

and a description of the value added by 

the offeror as related to the work to be 

performed by the subcontractor(s); and 

(c) If any subcontractor proposed 

intends to subcontract to a lower-tier 

subcontractor more than 70 percent of 

the total cost of work to be performed, 

the amount of the subcontractor’s 

indirect costs and profit/fee applicable 

to the work to be performed by the 

lower-tier subcontractor(s) and a 

description of the added value provided 

by the subcontractor as related to the 

work to be performed by the lower-tier 

subcontractor(s). 

7. FAR 52.215–23, Limitations on 

Pass-Through Charges. This clause 

requires contractors to provide a 

description of the value added by the 

contractor or subcontractor, as 

applicable, as related to the subcontract 

effort if the effort changes from the 

amount identified in the proposal such 

that it exceeds 70 percent of the total 

cost of work to be performed. 

Contracting officers use the 

information collected at FAR 52.215–22 

and 52.215–23 to assess the value added 

by a contractor or subcontractor in 

relation to proposed, billed, or claimed 

indirect costs or profit/fee on work 

performed by a subcontractor. This 

information is required to ensure that 

pass-through charges under contracts 

and subcontracts are not excessive. 

C. Annual Burden 

Respondents: 122,097. 

Total Annual Responses: 139,074. 

Total Burden Hours: 43,027 (43,022 

reporting hours + 5 recordkeeping 

hours).

obtain a copy of the information 

collection documents from the GSA 

Regulatory Secretariat Division by
