Abstract:
This information collection is used by contracting officers for the following purposes: (1) Audit Services. The clause at 252-237-7000 is used to provide information that enables verification that the apparently successful offeror for audit services is licensed by the cognizant licensing authority in the state or other political jurisdiction where the offeror operates its professional practice. (2) Mortuary Services. The clause at DFARS 252.237-7011 and DD Form2063 are used (a) to ensure the mortuary contractor has properly prepared the body, and (b) by the contract carrier, so that the body can be shipped by that carrier. When additional preparation of the body is required subsequent to shipment, information regarding the initial preparation of the body may be used by the mortuary services contractor to whom the body has been shipped. (3) Continuation of Essential Services. The provision at DFARS 252.237-7024 requires offerors to submit with its offer a written plan describing how it will continue to perform essential contractor servises during periods of crisis. The associated clause at 252.237-7023 requires the contractor to maintain and update its plan as necessary.

Short Statement:
17,500 hours have been transferred from OMB Clearance 0704-0465 in order to consolidate Part 237 information collection requirements. The transferred hours are 1,500 hours lower than the 19,000 hours previously approved under 0704-0465. The reduced public burden is the result of an estimated reduction in the total number of contracts requiring offerors to submit a continuity of operations plan.
