SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

A. Purpose 

In accordance with 31 U.S.C. 7701(c), 

a contractor doing business with a 

Government agency is required to 

furnish its Tax Identification Number 

(TIN) to that agency. Also, 31 U.S.C. 

3325(d) requires the Government to 

include, with each certified voucher 

prepared by the Government payment 

office and submitted to a disbursing 

official, the TIN of the contractor 

receiving payment under the voucher. 

26 U.S.C. 6050M, as implemented in the 

Department of Treasury, Internal 

Revenue Service (IRS) regulations at 

Title 26 of the Code of Federal 

Regulations (CFR), requires heads of 

Federal executive agencies to report 

certain information to the IRS. 26 U.S.C. 

6041 and 6041A, as implemented in 26 

CFR, in part, requires payors, including 

Government agencies, to report to the 

IRS, on form 1099, payments made to 

certain contractors. 

To comply with the requirements of 

31 U.S.C. 7701(c) and 3325(d), reporting 

requirements of 26 U.S.C. 6041, 6041A, 

and 6050M, and implementing 

regulations issued by the IRS in 26 CFR, 

FAR clause 52.204–3, Taxpayer 

Identification, requires a potential 

Government contractor to submit, 

among other information, its TIN. The 

TIN may be used by the Government to 

collect and report on any delinquent 

amounts arising out of the contractor’s 

relationship with the Government. A 

contractor is not required to provide its 

TIN on each contract in accordance with 

FAR clause 52.204–3, Taxpayer 

Identification, when FAR clause 

52.204–7, Central Contractor 

Registration, is inserted in contracts. 

FAR clause 52.204–7 requires a 

potential Federal contractor to provide 

its TIN in the Central Contractor 

Registration (CCR) system.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

A. Purpose 

The Federal Acquisition Regulation 

(FAR) Subpart 4.11 prescribes policies 

and procedures for requiring contractor 

registration in the Central Contractor 

Registration (CCR) database. The CCR is 

the primary vendor database for the U.S. 

Federal Government. CCR collects, 

validates, stores, and disseminates data 

in support of agency acquisition 

missions. 

Both current and potential Federal 

Government vendors are required to 

register in CCR in order to be awarded 

contracts by the Federal Government. 

Vendors are required to complete a onetime registration to provide basic 

information relevant to procurement 

and financial transactions. Vendors 

must update or renew their registration 

at least once per year to maintain an 

active status. 

The CCR validates the vendor 

information and electronically share the 

secure and encrypted data with Federal 

agency finance offices to facilitate 

paperless payments through electronic 

funds transfer. Additionally, CCR shares 

the data with Federal Government 

procurement and electronic business 

systems.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

A. Purpose 

FAR 22.501 prescribes policies and 

procedures to implement Executive 

Order 13502, February 6, 2009 which 

encourages Federal agencies to consider 

the use of a project labor agreement 

(PLA), as they may decide appropriate, 

on large-scale construction projects, 

where the total cost to the Government 

is more than $25 million, in order to 

promote economy and efficiency in 

Federal procurement. A PLA is a prehire collective bargaining agreement 

with one or more labor organizations 

that establishes the terms and 

conditions of employment for a specific 

construction project. FAR 22.503(b) 

provides that an agency may, if 

appropriate, require that every 

contractor and subcontractor engaged in 

construction on the project agree, for 

that project, to negotiate or become a 

party to a project labor agreement with 

one or more labor organizations if the 

agency decides that the use of project 

labor agreements will— 

(1) Advance the Federal Government’s 

interest in achieving economy and 

efficiency in Federal procurement,
