    Needs and Uses: DFARS clause 252.215-7002, Cost Estimating Systems 
Requirements, includes the following information collection 
requirements, which are necessary to evaluate and monitor contractor 
cost estimating systems; however, the need for information collection 
decreases as contractor estimating systems improve and gain contracting 
officer approval:
    (a) Paragraph (d)(1) requires the contractor to establish an 
adequate estimating system, disclose such estimating systems to the 
ACO, in writing;
    (b) Paragraph (d)(3)(ii) requires the contractor to disclose 
significant changes to the cost estimating system to the ACO on a 
timely basis;

identifies significant deficiencies in the contractor's estimating 
system; and

to the contracting officer's final determination of significant 
deficiencies, and either correct the significant deficiencies or submit 
an acceptable corrective action plan showing milestones and actions to 
eliminate the deficiencies.
    DoD contracting officers use this information to determine if the 
contractor has an adequate system for generating cost estimates, which 
forecasts costs based on appropriate source information available at 
the time, and has the ability to monitor the correction of significant 
deficiencies.
    Affected Public: Businesses or other for-profit and not-for profit
