--Standard Form 330, Architect-Engineer Qualifications, Part II of the SF 330.

The contract pertains to the submission and management of the Standard Form 330, Part II, which details the general qualifications of Architect-Engineer (A-E) firms. This form replaces the older SF 254 and is now submitted electronically via the On-Line Representations and Certifications Application (ORCA), part of the Federal-wide Business Partner Network. A-E firms must first obtain a DUNS number and register in the Central Contractor Registration before submitting Part II, which is prepared on a branch office basis. Submission of SF 330 Part II to ORCA is voluntary, and firms are instructed not to submit this form to the Architect-Engineer Contract Administration Support System (ACASS). Instead, Part II should be submitted alongside Part I when responding to FedBizOpps announcements or can be accessed by firms from ORCA if already on file. This solicitation, issued by the Department of Defense’s W2SD Endist New York office, provides guidance on the updated submission process to streamline qualifications reporting for A-E firms. The contract reference number is USA-SNOTE-040730-001, posted on July 30, 2004, with the office located in New York, NY. For technical questions regarding the SF 330, the New York District’s point of contact is Steve Di Bari, reachable at [phone hidden]. This updated process is aimed at improving the efficiency and accuracy of A-E firm qualifications submissions and ensuring firms comply with the new electronic submission standards.
