About this file
This is Standard Form (SF) 1408, a Preaward Survey of Prospective Contractor Accounting System form, which is used to evaluate whether a prospective contractor's accounting system is adequate for award of a federal contract. The form contains two main sections: Section I for the overall recommendation (with options for "Yes," "No," or "Yes with follow-on review"), and Section II consisting of a detailed evaluation checklist that assesses the contractor's accounting system against specific criteria.
The evaluation checklist examines whether the accounting system complies with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles and includes key capabilities such as segregation of direct/indirect costs, cost identification by contract, labor distribution systems, timekeeping systems, proper cost allocation methods, and financial reporting capabilities required by contract clauses. The form (OMB Control Number 9000-0011) is valid through October 31, 2026 and is part of solicitation W519TC24R0027 for maintenance, supply, and transportation services at Fort Huachuca, AZ, being conducted by the Army Contracting Command-Rock Island.
