About this file
This is GSAR Clause 552.270-33, a General Services Administration (GSA) form used for foreign ownership and financing representations required for high-security leased space. The clause establishes a standardized representation template that offerors, lessors, and novation transferees must complete and submit to GSA lease contracting officers.
The form requires disclosure of three key categories of foreign involvement: immediate ownership, highest-level ownership, and financing sources. For each category, respondents must represent whether foreign entities or foreign persons are involved and provide detailed information including legal names, unique entity identifiers, physical addresses, and countries of origin when applicable. The clause defines "foreign entity" as any nongovernmental organization or governmental instrumentality not of the United States, and "foreign person" as individuals who are not U.S. citizens or lawfully admitted permanent residents. Offerors must complete the representation when submitting proposals, successful awardees (now lessors) must review and update it annually beginning one year from the lease term effective date through final payment, and transferees seeking novation must submit updated representations with novation documentation. The offeror or lessor bears full responsibility for the currency, accuracy, and completeness of disclosed data, including liability for any government reliance on inaccurate or incomplete information. The form concludes with signature and date blocks for the offeror or lessor's authorized representative.
