AI Contract Overview

The contract outlines the implementation and mandatory use of the SF 330 form, which replaces the previously used SF 254 and SF 255 forms for Architect-Engineer (A-E) service submissions. The final version of SF 330 was published on December 11, 2003, and became effective on January 12, 2004, with a mandatory transition deadline of June 8, 2004. The New York District of the Department of Defense will continue accepting the old SF 254 and SF 255 forms for FedBizOpps announcements published before June 8, 2004, allowing industry and software vendors adequate time to adjust to the new form. From June 8 onward, all submissions must utilize the SF 330. The SF 330 consists of two parts: Part I, which covers contract-specific qualifications, replacing SF 255, and Part II, covering general qualifications, replacing SF 254. Each branch office involved in the contract must complete Part II. The form is designed to streamline government and A-E industry practices by consolidating essential qualification information into a two-part format. Additionally, Part II will eventually be integrated into the Central Contractor Registration system, replacing separate SF 254 submissions to the Architect-Engineer Contract Administration Support System. The New York District will set page limits for submissions based on solicitation complexity, generally recommending around 40 pages, and advises firms against redundant information and excessive customization of Part II. For further clarification, firms can contact the designated Technical Point of Contact, Steve Di Bari.

Full Description

The final SF 330 was published in the Federal Register on 11 December 2003 (http://www.hnd.usace.army.mil/techinfo/ECB/FedReg-11 Dec 03-Final SF 330.pdf) . The SF 330 replaces SFs 254 and 255. The new form is effective 12 January 2004, and its use is mandatory by 8 June 2004. The New York District will not use the SF 330 until 8 June 2004 to allow the A-E industry sufficient time to become familiar with the new form and for software vendors to develop and market new products. Therefore, Federal Busi ness Opportunities (FedBizOpps) announcements published before 8 June 2004 will still require submission of SFs 254 and 255. FedBizOpps announcements published on or after 8 June 2004 will require submission of SF 330. The SF 330 reflects current Government and A-E practices and provides the essential information the Corps needs for the selection of A-E firms in a streamlined format. The SF 330 is a two-part form. Part I, Contract-Specific Qualifications, replaces the SF 255. Part II, General Qualifications, replaces the SF 254. Hence, the SF 330 was designed as a single two-part form. Part II, which is only one page, must be completed for each branch office that will have a key role in a proposed contract and submitted w ith the Part I. Also, A-E firms will eventually be required to complete a SF 330, Part II when they register or renew their registration in the Central Contractor Registration (CCR) system. This will replace submission of SFs 254 to the Architect-Engineer Contract Administration Support System (ACASS). ACASS will be linked to CCR. More information will be provided later on submission of Part II to the CCR. A PowerPoint presentation that summarizes the information is available at: http://www.hnd.usace.army.mil/techinfo/ECB/SF 330-USACE Training.ppt. In addition the General Services Administration forms website http://www.gsa.gov/Portal/gsa/ep/formslibrary wil l be revised soon to add the SF 330 in various electronic formats. The New York District will limit the number of pages for SF 330 submissions in the FedBizOpps announcements for A-E services based upon the nature of the solicitation. For most contracts, an adequate submission can be made in approximately 40 pages. Firms are discouraged from repeating information from Sections A-G in Section H (Additional Information). Section H is intended for discussion of selection criteria that are not adequately addressed in the prior structured sections of the form, such as a firms q uality management approach or specialized equipment assets. Also, firms are discouraged from customizing Part II for specific contract submissions. If you have any questions New York Districtâs Technical POC is Steve Di Bari.
