- Description
- In compliance with Office of Management and Budget (OMB)/Office of Federal Procurement Policy (OFPP) FY 2003 performance requirements for expanding on-line procurement, beginning October 1, 2002, Department of the Interior contracting personnel will: Use the Central Contractor Registration (CCR) (www.ccr.gov), as the single validated source of data on vendors doing business with Interior. Prospective vendors must be registered in CCR prior to the award of a contract; purchase order, delivery order, basic agreement, basic ordering agreement, or blanket purchase agreement by Department of the Interior bureaus and offices. Prime contractors are not required to have their subcontractors register in CCR. However, if a prime's subcontractor wants to bid directly for contracts with the Department of the Interior, they should register in the CCR. Exceptions to the CCR Registration Requirements: The above policy applies to all types of awards except the following, as identified in Department of the Interior Financial Administration Memorandum No. 98-034, Debt Collection Improvement Act of 1996-Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT) Policy and Implementation Guidelines, dated December 17, 1998, and Federal Acquisition Regulation Subpart 32.11, Electronic Funds Transfer: 1. Purchases paid with a Government-wide commercial purchase card; 2. Convenience Check transactions; 3. Awards paid to foreign vendors where the political, financial, or communications infrastructure in a foreign country does not support payment by EFT; 4. Payment to a recipient within an area designated by the President or an authorized agency administrator as a disaster area (This exception is limited to payments made within 120 days after the disaster is declared); 5. A response to contingency operations conducted by or in support of the Department of Defense; 6. Where payments by EFT may pose a threat to national security, the life or physical safety of an individual may be endangered, or a law enforcement action may be compromised; 7. Where the bureau does not expect to make more than one payment to the same recipient within a one-year period, i.e., payment is non-recurring, and the cost for making the payment by EFT exceeds the cost of making payment by check; 8. Where a bureau's need for goods and services is of such unusual and compelling urgency that the Government would be seriously injured unless payment is made by a method other than by EFT; or where there is only one source for goods and services and the Government would be seriously injured unless payment is made by a method other than by EFT. In addition, effective October 1, 2003, Department of the Interior bureaus and offices will no longer accept or maintain Standard Form 129, Solicitation Mailing List Applications as a source of vendor information.
