— Solicitation Page 13, Instructions, Conditions, and Notices to Offerors or Quoters, Paragraph 3, requires completion of certifications related to FAR 52.212-3, but then states that submission is not required “if registered in ORCA”. “ORCA” has been defunct for decades and is currently superseded by SAM. Can you confirm that the requirement for ORCA is incorrect and that this should read SAM, and furthermore, if Offeror is registered in SAM, then the certification related to FAR 52.212-3 are not required? Yes, if registered in SAM, then the certification related to FAR 52.212-3 is not required.
