The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) collects information, when necessary, when inviting firms to submit bids, proposals, and offers for public contracts for supplies and service. Using solicitation methods such as Requests for Proposals (RFP), Requests for Information (RFI), and Broad Agency Announcements (BAA), the Government requests information from prospective offerors such as pricing information, delivery schedule compliance, and evidence that the offeror has the resources (both human and financial) to accomplish requirements. The information collection is necessary for compliance with
(1) the Homeland Security Acquisition Regulation (HSAR), 48 CFR Chapter 30; (2) the Small Business Innovative Research (SBIR) and Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) programs, 15 U.S.C 628; and (3) for purposes of entering into other transactions agreements, 6 U.S.C. § 391, 6 U.S.C. § 596(1), and 49 U.S.C. § 106(l)(6).
US Code:

The burden estimates provided in response to Item 12 above are based upon proposal/solicitation data reported by DHS and its Components, as well as DHS FPDS and FBO data for FY 2022. No program changes occurred; however, the burden was adjusted to reflect a decrease in the number of respondents within DHS for FY 2022 in the amount of 119,701, for the existing provisions, clauses and forms, and the average hourly wage rate increased. The addition of the new provision increased the total annual burden hours by 294.79 hours.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that the collection of information encompassed by this request complies with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR 1320.8(b)(3).
The following is a summary of the topics, regarding the proposed collection of information, that the certification covers:
(i) Why the information is being collected;
(ii) Use of information;
(iii) Burden estimate;
(iv) Nature of response (voluntary, required for a benefit, or mandatory);
(v) Nature and extent of confidentiality; and
(vi) Need to display currently valid OMB control number;
If you are unable to certify compliance with any of these provisions, identify the item by leaving the box unchecked and explain the reason in the Supporting Statement.
