Abstract: This Paperwork Reduction
Act (PRA) submission seeks an
extension of Office of Management and
Budget (OMB) approval No. 2900–0586
for collection of information for both
commercial and non-commercial item,
service, and construction solicitations

that items offered for sale to VA under
the solicitation conform to certain
technical industry standards, such as
United States Department of Agriculture
(USDA) or the USDA Institutional Meat

the contractor furnish evidence to VA
that the items meet that requirement.
The evidence is normally in the form of
a tag or seal affixed to the item, such as
a label on beef product. In most cases,

this requires no additional effort on the
part of the contractor, as the items come
from the factory with the tags already in
place, as part of the manufacturer’s
standard manufacturing operation.
Occasionally, for items not already
meeting standards or for items not
previously tested, a contractor will have
to furnish a certificate from an
acceptable laboratory certifying that theitems furnished have been tested in
accordance with, and conform to, the
specified standards. Only firms whose
products have not previously been
tested to ensure the products meet the
industry standards required under the
solicitation and contract will be
required to submit a separate certificate.
The information will be used to ensure
that the items being purchased meet
minimum safety standards and to
protect VA employees, VA beneficiaries,
and the public.
An agency may not conduct or
sponsor, and a person is not required to
respond to a collection of information
unless it displays a currently valid OMB
control number. The Federal Register
Notice with a 60-day comment period
