This information collection pertains to solicitation and contract requirements for information that the offeror/contractor must submit to DoD or a third party in response to the requirements of DFARS 225 and 225.225. These requirements predominantly implement domestic source restrictions and trade agreements/memoranda of understanding, or Defense Trade Cooperation treaties.
The respondent burden and cost estimates are revised based on use of current data as described in sections 12.a. through 12.j. of this justification and current cost per hour data from OPM for calendar year 2020. There is a notable increase in the number of contract awards for some categories and the wage rates increased due to inflationary adjustments; subsequently resulting in an increase to the respondent burden overall.
