DoD Requests OMB Extension for SF-330 Architect-Engineer Qualifications
The Department of Defense has submitted a request to OMB to extend approval for Standard Form 330, the mandatory evaluation submission for architect-engineer services. This extension maintains the foundational procurement standard for defense infrastructure and military construction contracts.
The Department of Defense, acting through the Regulatory Secretariat Division in coordination with the General Services Administration and the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, has formally submitted a request to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for review and approval of an extension to the information collection requirement for Standard Form 330 (SF-330), titled "Architect-Engineer Qualifications." Required under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, this regulatory filing ensures that the core instrument used across the federal government to evaluate specialized architectural, engineering, and master-planning vendors remains fully authorized for active acquisition pipelines.
SF-330 serves as the indispensable baseline mechanism mandated by the Brooks Act (40 U.S.C. 1101–1104) and Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Subpart 36.6. These statutory authorities require defense and civilian agencies to select architect-engineer (A&E) contractors based on demonstrated competence and specialized qualifications rather than lowest-cost pricing structures. As the Department of Defense advances critical initiatives to modernize its organic industrial base, recapitalize naval shipyards, and fortify physical installations against environmental and physical threats, SF-330 submissions remain the decisive filter for determining vendor eligibility on multi-billion-dollar military construction (MILCON) programs.
