In order to use the address of an already established Auxiliary/Satellite Office, the A/E Firm must have employees of their firm who are currently (before and at the time of SF330 submission) physically located at the Auxiliary/Satellite Office and are on the A/E’s Payroll—not employees of an actual or proposed subcontractor or on the payroll of an actual or proposed subcontractor.
