Abstract: The Electronic Capability Statement will be used by firms that wish to do business with the Department of the Treasury, The form will capture key information such as NAICS, contract and subcontract award information, and past performance. The information will be stored in a database. The database will be used by OSDBU, Treaasury Acquisition staff and the Troubled Asset Relief Program to conduct research when searching for small businesses to perform on Treasury contracts.

Emergency Justfication: The Department of the Treasury (Treasury) respectfully requests emergency processing and approval of the collection of information. The collection of information is needed to fulfill Treasury’s responsibilities under the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act (EESA) of 2008 (Public Law 110-343; approved October 3, 2008). The Department of the Treasury lacks a central repository of capability statements from small businesses. Use of the Electronic Capability Statement will allow small businesses to submit information regarding their capabilities to the Department. Treasury cannot reasonably comply with the normal clearance procedures under 5 C.F.R. Part 1320 because of the current turmoil in the financial markets.
