The forms under this collection of information request are used by offerors, contractors, and the general public to comply with requirements in contracts awarded by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and the information collected is used by contracting officers to ensure compliance with terms and conditions of DHS contracts.

The contracting officer obtains the listed DHS Forms 0700-01, 0700-02 and 0700-03 from the contractor for closeout, as applicable.
