Abstract: An interagency ad hoc committee developed Standard Form (SF) 330. The ad hoc committee based the development of the form on Federal Facilities (FCC) Council Technical Report No. 130, Joint Federal-industry Survey on the Use of SFs 254 and 255 for Architect-Engineer Qualifications, 1996 (The Federal Facilities Council is an arm of the Congressionally chartered National Academy of Sciences.) The report stated that Federal agencies and the architect-engineer industry strongly endorsed maintaining a structured format for presenting architect-engineer qualifications. The report also concluded that the SFs 254 and 255 needed improvement. Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Part 36 is the reference point for the form.
