Abstract of Proposed Collection

    This information collection covers pre-award and post-award 
requirements of the DOSAR. During the pre-award phase, information is 
collected to determine which proposals offer the best value to the U.S. 
Government. Post-award actions include monitoring the contractor's 
performance; issuing modifications to the contract; dealing with 
unsatisfactory performance; and closing out the contract upon its 
completion. This program collects information pursuant to the Foreign 
Service Buildings Act of 1926, as amended (22 U.S.C. 302), the Omnibus 
Diplomatic Security and Antiterrorism Act (22 U.S.C. 4852), and the 
Foreign Relations Authorization Act, Fiscal Years 1990 and 1991 (22 
U.S.C. 4864).

Methodology

    Information is collected from prospective offerors to evaluate 
their proposals. The responses provided by the public are part of the 
offeror's proposals in response to Department solicitations. This 
information may be submitted electronically (through fax or email), or 
may require a paper submission, depending upon complexity. After 
contract award, contractors are required to submit information, on an 
as-needed basis, and relate to the occurrence of specific 
circumstances.

    Dated: March 16, 2015.
