Type of Request: Extension of a currently approved collection.

Affected Public: Businesses or other for-profit and not-for-profit institutions.

Number of Respondents: 1,895.

Responses per Respondent: 2.91.

Average Burden per Response: 2 hours.

Annual Burden Hours: 11,030.

Needs and Uses: This information collection covers the burden hours related to the requirement at DFARS subpart 204.17, Service Contracts Inventory, and its associated clause, 252.204-7023, Reporting Requirements for Contracted Services. The burden has been updated with current data obtained from the System for Award Management, which is the system used by contractors for submission of reports for this information collection.

DFARS subpart 204.17 and the clause at 252.204-7023 implement 10 U.S.C. 4505 (formerly 10 U.S.C. 2330a), as amended by section 812 of National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2017, which requires DoD to establish a data collection system to provide certain management information with regard to each purchase of services by a military department or defense agency that exceeds $3 million for services in the following service acquisition portfolio groups: logistics management services, equipment-related services, knowledge-based services, and electronics and communications services.

The basic DFARS clause 252.204-7023, Reporting Requirements for Contracted Services, and its alternate I require a contractor to report annually, in the System for Award Management, on the services performed under the contract or order, during the preceding Government fiscal year. Specifically, the contractor is required to report the following: the total dollar amount invoiced for services performed during the preceding fiscal year; and the number of direct labor hours, including subcontractor hours (when applicable), expended on services performed during the previous Government fiscal year.

This information collection will provide DoD with the ability to identify and report annually to Congress, in accordance with 10 U.S.C. 4505, on the inventory of contractor service contract actions. As an adjunct, the information will support DoD's total force management and in making strategic workforce planning and budget decisions pursuant to 10 U.S.C. 129a.
