Short Statement:
For Items 12, an updated estimated # of respondents (year) was used. This number is calculated by adding the total number of GSA FSS contracts for fiscal years 2019, 2020, and 2021 and then dividing that number by 3 (note the actual number came to 14,199.6, however only a whole number can be used for this purpose. As a result, the number was rounded up to 14,200). The decrease in this number may be a result of the GSA FSS consolidation effort. The consolidation effort enabled existing GSA FSS Contractors to have only a single GSA FSS contract versus having two or more contracts. For Item 12, an updated estimated # of submissions per respondent was used. This number is calculated by dividing the average # of modifications issued by the estimated # of respondents (year), then in this instance rounding down to the nearest whole number. The average # of modifications issued was calculated by adding the total number of modifications issued during fiscal years 2019, 2020, and 2021 that were identified as deletions, additions, and pricing and then dividing the number by 3. The decrease in this number can be attributed to an improved methodology for estimating the number of requests per GSA FSS contract (year). In this case, the data collection for this information collection has improved to the extent that GSA is now able to identify the type of modification issued during a given fiscal year. Being able to make this distinction is important as the GSAR clause tied to this information collection only covers three types of modifications: deletions, additions (i.e., items/additional SINs), and price reductions. Note. At this point in time, GSA is unable to verify whether not a particular modification identified as falling into one of these three categories is actually attributed to the GSAR clause covered by this information collection. As a result, it is possible that the number provided is higher than the actual number. For example, not every pricing modification falls under this GSAR clause given there are price increases, price reductions, and other changes that impact pricing. This GSAR clause only addresses price reductions. For Items 12 & 14, an updated estimated cost per hour (i.e., hourly rate) was used. This number is based on the OPM GS-12, Step 5 salary of $43.10 per hour (see OPM Salary Table 2022-GS, Effective January 2022), plus a fringe factor of 36.25% ($15.62) (see OMB Memo M-08-13 for use in public-private competition). For Item 14, an updated estimate total # of submissions (year) was used. The updated number used here is the same number used in Item 12 for the estimated total # of submissions (year). The decrease in this number can be attributed to the aforementioned improved methodology for estimating the number of modification requests covered by this information collection as well as possibly the GSA FSS Consolidation effort.
