The OFR/GPO partnership is committed to presenting accurate and reliable regulatory information on FederalRegister.gov with the objective of establishing the XML-based Federal Register as an ACFR-sanctioned publication in the future. While every effort has been made to ensure that the material on FederalRegister.gov is accurately displayed, consistent with the official SGML-based PDF version on govinfo.gov, those relying on it for legal research should verify their results against an official edition of the Federal Register. Until the ACFR grants it official status, the XML rendition of the daily Federal Register on FederalRegister.gov does not provide legal notice to the public or judicial notice to the courts.

9000-0157, Architect-Engineer Qualifications, SF-330.
This clearance covers the information that offerors must submit to comply with the following Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) requirement:
Standard Form (SF) 330, Architect-Engineer Qualifications. As specified in FAR 36.702(b), an architect-engineer firm must provide information about its qualifications for a specific contract when the contract amount is expected to exceed the simplified acquisition threshold (SAT).
Part I—Contract-Specific Qualifications. The information on the form is reviewed by a selection panel composed of professionals and assists the panel in selecting the most qualified architect-engineer firm to perform the specific project. The form is designed to provide a uniform method for architect-engineer firms to submit information on experience, personnel, and capabilities of the architect-engineer firm to perform along with information on the consultants they expect to collaborate with on the specific project. Part I of the SF 330 may be used when the contract amount is expected to be at or below the SAT, if the contracting officer determines that its use is appropriate.
Part II—General Qualifications. The information obtained on this form is used to determine if a firm should be solicited for architect-engineer projects. Architect-engineer firms are encouraged to update the form annually. Part II of the SF 330 is used to obtain information from an architect-engineer firm about its general professional qualifications.
The SF 330 accomplishes the following:
♢ An organizational chart of all participating firms and key personnel.
♢ For all key personnel, a description of their experience in 5 relevant projects.
♢ A description of each example project performed by the project team (or some elements of the project team) and its relevance to the agency's proposed contract.
♢ A matrix of key personnel who participated in the example projects. This matrix graphically illustrates the degree to which the proposed key personnel have worked together before on similar projects.
The contracting officer uses the information provided on the SF 330 to evaluate firms to select an architect-engineer firm for a contract.
Respondents: 402.
Total Annual Responses: 1,608.
Total Burden Hours: 46,632.
A 60-day notice was published in the Federal Register at 91 FR 30304, on May 22, 2026. A comment was received; however, it did not change the estimate of the burden.
Comment: The respondent recommended updates for the SF 330 form, aiming to modernize the form and reduce administrative burdens without fundamentally altering the form's core purpose. Key recommendations include publishing an official editable Microsoft Word version to support collaborative workflows, updating outdated contact information blocks, and adding essential date information such as proposal due dates and amendment acknowledgments. The respondent asserts that the recommended revisions would improve form clarity, ensure consistency for federal selection boards, and better reflect contemporary industry practices.
Response: The FAR Council appreciates the feedback received. The revisions to the SF 330 recommended by the commenter would require rulemaking. The respondent will have the opportunity to provide feedback when proposed changes to FAR Part 36 are published for comment soon as part of FAR Case 2026-010, Revolutionary Federal Acquisition Regulation Overhaul parts 14, 28, and 36.
