PRE-AWARD SURVEY

PREAWARD SURVEY OF PROSPECTIVE SERVICE CONTRACTORS

Contracts can only be awarded to contractors determined to be responsible in accordance with Part 9 of the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR). The Contracting Officer must have sufficient information available to make an affirmative determination that a prospective contractor currently meets the minimum FAR Part 9 standards prior to contract award.

In order to make the required determination and also to expedite the contract award, the following information must be submitted by the prospective contractor, as directed by the Government:

A. The attached forms: Service Contractor Data - Summary; Service Contractor Data - Existing Commitments; Service Contractor Data - Completed Contracts; and Service Contractor Data - Equipment and Facilities. Be sure to include information on any contracts you have had with the Sacramento District, Corps of Engineers, within the last 12 months.

B. Latest financial statements. If the financial statement is more than 60 days old, submit a statement that the firm's financial condition is substantially the same, or, if not the same, state the changes that have taken place.

C. Letters from banks or other financial institutions with which the contractor conducts business.

The letters should contain:

--Information about your firm's accounts, loans, lines of credit, etc., --Other information supporting a determination that your firm is "responsible" as defined in the Federal Acquisition Regulation, Part 9, e.g, "has the financial resources to perform the contract or the ability to obtain them". The government is interested in financial stability, timely payments, the length and nature of the relationship between the firm and the financial institution, and any other information which indicates the firm's financial ability to perform the contract.

--The name and telephone number of the bank representative the Government may contact.

The information submitted by the prospective contractor as part of the preaward survey will be treated by the Government as proprietary information.
