Short Statement: It is estimated that the revisions to the FAR will result in 1,770 more rerepresentations per year. The 1,770 figure is based on reasoning that contracting officers will exercise their discretionary authority to require rerepresentations only for large dollar value orders (i.e. over $1 million) and then only for a portion of such orders (i.e. 10%). According to the Federal Procurement Data System (FPDS), there were 5,879 task and delivery orders over $1 million awarded in fiscal year (FY) 2017. Ten percent of these orders are approximately 590 orders. Estimating that the Request for Quotations (RFQ) for each order resulted on average 3 quotations, there would be 1,770 rerepresentations per year (590 orders X 3 quotations per order) at the order-level.

Annual Cost to Federal Government: $195,545
