The Board uses the Procurement Solicitation Package, which includes a supplier database and solicitation documents as appropriate, to assist in the competitive process of soliciting proposals from suppliers of goods and services. The Procurement Solicitation Package includes the:
• Supplier Registration System (FR 1400A),
• Solicitation Package (Solicitation, Offer, and Award Form; Supplier Information Form; Past Performance Data Sheet; and Past Performance Questionnaire) (FR 1400B),
• Supplier Risk Management Offeror Questionnaire (FR 1400C), and
• Subcontracting Report (FR 1400D).
The solicitation documents are typically for the procurement of goods, services and construction that are not off-the-shelf items. The Board’s supplier database serves as a venue for Board staff to research potential suppliers and their qualifications. When a solicitation is constructed for a specific acquisition, the solicitation package is typically called a Solicitation, Offer, and Award (SOA) document which consists of the Solicitation Form (Section A of the SOA) and Supplier Information Form (Section N of the SOA), which are both part of FR 1400B. Depending on the requirements of the specific acquisition, the SOA may also consist of a Past Performance Data Sheet (part of FR 1400B), Past Performance Questionnaire (part of FR 1400B), Supplier Risk Management Offeror Questionnaire (FR 1400C), or Subcontracting Report (FR 1400D). This information collection is required to collect data on prices, specifications of goods and services, and qualifications of prospective suppliers.
