Solicitation of Proposal Information for Award of Public Contracts

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).
