Welcome to ORCA

Introduction ORCA is an e-Government initiative developed to replace the paper based

Representations and Certifications (Reps and Certs) process. Previously, vendors had to submit Reps and Certs for each individual large purchase contract award. Now, using ORCA, a contractor can enter their Reps and Certs information once for use on all Federal contracts. This site not only benefits the contractor, by allowing them to maintain an accurate and complete record, but also the Contracting Officer as they can view every record, including archives, with the click of a mouse.

Background On Oct.7, 2002, Mark Forman, then Associate Director for Information Technology and E-government, announced the five key elements in the

President’s Management Agenda in a letter to all CIO’s, CFO’s and Procurement Executives. This agenda was developed to improve the management and performance of the Federal Government and “outlined how we will focus our e-Government initiatives on reforming the Government so that it delivers results that matter to citizens.”

The original report focused on 14 areas of improvement, 5 government-wide and 8 agency specific. Number 4 on the government wide improvement is ‘Expanded Electronic Government’. In order to identify which initiatives were helpful in creating an e-Government, Mr. Forman established a cross-agency task force referred to as project Quicksilver. Over a 5-week period a working group comprised of individuals knowledgeable in their agency programs and experienced in government reform developed recommendations. The task force applied best of breed e-strategy methods that have been used widely in industry and government. The task force conducted 71 interviews with more than 150 senior government officials during the process to gather and identify strategic e-Government opportunities.

The task force found that the federal government could significantly improve customer service over 18 to 24 months by focusing on 23 high payoff, government wide initiatives that integrate agency operations and IT investments.

These 23 initiatives were divided into 4 categories, government to citizen (G2C), government to business (G2B), government to government (G2G), and internal effectiveness and efficiency (IEE). The Integrated Acquisition

Environment (IAE) was listed as part of the IEE.

As part of the Integrated Acquisition Environment (IAE) E-Government initiative, the existing Department of Defense Central Contractor

Registration system was expanded into a Business Partner Network used by all agencies. The BPN includes grantees, Federal entities, and companies seeking to do business with the Federal government. This expansion requires all those seeking to do business with the Federal government to register within the BPN.

The BPN provides a web-enabled capability for identifying Federal and industry trading partners. It also creates a one-stop source of information about trading partners, such as Equal Employment Opportunity compliance checks, size status, the Excluded Parties List information, and past performance evaluations. The attachments to this memorandum describe the vision and benefits of the BPN and an overview of how it is used for commercial acquisition, intra-governmental transactions, and grants.

Section 508 Compliance The ORCA web site is Section 508 compliant. Under Section 508, agencies must give disabled employees and members of the public access to information that is comparable to the access available to others. The law applies to all Federal agencies when they develop, procure, maintain, or use electronic and information technology. The web pages were checked using

Watchfire’s WebXact software on http://webxact.watchfire.com/scanform.aspx?sa=1. Watchfire is one of the listed companies on the government’s web site that provide section 508 software. See www.section508.gov. All web site pages were scanned for

Section 508 checkpoints, both automatic and manual.

Vendor Instructions

Before Starting Your Application Before you can enter ORCA you must:

• Have an active registration in Central Contractor Registration (CCR)

• Have the MPIN from your active registration

• Know your DUNS number

Registration in CCR: Before entering ORCA you must have an active registration in CCR. To determine if you have an active registration visit CCR’s homepage at www.ccr.gov and click on “Search CCR” found on the left side of your screen. If you have an active registration then you can begin your ORCA record. If you do not have an existing active registration in CCR then complete one at the same website before beginning your ORCA records.

Reminder: There is no cost involved with registering in CCR. When registering in CCR make sure to use 2007 NAICS codes and not 2002 NAICS codes. You may begin your ORCA questionnaire immediately after your CCR registration becomes active.

Marketing Partner Identification Number (MPIN): The Marketing Partner Identification Number (MPIN) is a 9-character code containing at least one alpha character and one number (no special characters or spaces).

The MPIN is created, by you, in your company’s CCR record and acts as a password for various government systems, including ORCA. The MPIN is the last data field in the “Points of Contact” section of the CCR registration.

Once you’ve entered your new MPIN into CCR, it will become active in ORCA as soon as your CCR registration becomes active. Go to www.ccr.gov if you need more information on how to create your MPIN.

If you are not in CCR, please go to www.ccr.gov and complete a registration.

If you have an active registration, but do not know your MPIN, please contact the person who submitted your company’s CCR registration for that information. If you do not know who that person is, then contact the CCR helpdesk at 888-227-2423, for assistance.

In addition, a DUNS number is needed, in conjunction with the MPIN to enter the ORCA system. If you have an active record in CCR then you have a

DUNS number. You can view your active CCR record to determine your DUNS number, or if you have questions or problems with your DUNS, please read the following:

*Data Universal Numbering System (DUNS) Number: The Data Universal Numbering System (DUNS) number is a unique nine-character identification number provided by the commercial company, Dun &

Bradstreet (D&B). Call D&B at 1-866-705-5711, if you do not have a DUNS number. The process to request a DUNS number takes about 10 minutes and is free of charge. If you already have a DUNS number, the D&B representative will advise you over the phone.

DUNS +4: The use of DUNS+4 numbers to identify vendors is limited to identifying records for the same vendor at the same physical location. The +4 should only be used in ORCA, if you registered your company that way in

CCR.
