SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

A. Purpose

    This information collection requirement, OMB Control No. 9000-0048, 
currently titled ``Authorized Negotiators,'' is proposed to be retitled 
``Authorized Negotiators and Integrity of Unit Prices,'' due to 
consolidation with currently approved information collection 
requirement OMB Control No. 9000-0080, Integrity of Unit Prices.
    This information collection requirement pertains to information 
that offerors and contractors must submit in response to the 
requirements in the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) as follows:
    1. Authorized Negotiators--FAR 52.215-1(c)(2)(iv). Firms offering 
supplies or services to the Government under negotiated solicitations 
must provide the names, titles, and telephone and facsimile numbers 
(and electronic addresses if available) of authorized negotiators to 
assure that discussions are held with authorized individuals.
    2. Integrity of Unit Prices--FAR 52.215-14. This clause requires 
offerors and contractors under negotiated solicitations and contracts 
to identify those supplies which they will not manufacture or to which 
they will not contribute significant value, if requested by the 
contracting officer or when contracting without adequate price 
competition. This requirement does not apply to: Contracts below the 
simplified acquisition threshold, construction and architect-
engineering services, utility services, service contracts where 
supplies are not required, commercial items, and contracts for 
petroleum products.
