A. Purpose
The information relative to the place of performance and owner of
plant or facility, if other than the prospective contractor, is a basic
requirement when contracting for supplies or services (including
construction). This information is instrumental in determining bidder
responsibility, responsiveness, and price reasonableness. A prospective
contractor must affirmatively demonstrate its responsibility. Hence,
the Government must be apprised of this information prior to award. The
contracting officer must know the place of performance and the owner of
the plant or facility to (1) determine bidder responsibility; (2)
determine price reasonableness; (3) conduct plant or source
inspections; and (4) determine whether the prospective contractor is a
manufacturer or a regular dealer. The information is used to determine
the firm's eligibility for awards and to assure proper preparation of
the contract. Contractors can complete the provision electronically in
the On-Line Representation and Certifications Application (ORCA);
however, because the data being collected could change for a specific
solicitation, contractors will still be required to submit place of
performance information on an exceptional basis; that is, whenever the
place of performance for a specific solicitation is different from the
place of performance shown in ORCA.
