Abstract: This information collection request is a revision to the FFRDC Contract Administration System (FCAS) Vendor Portal for an additional three years. The plan to build the Office of Acquisitions System (OASYS) has changed, so all references to the Evaluation of Office of Acquisitions System (OASYS) system have been removed from our previous submission. This removal resulted in a name change from Evaluation of Office of Acquisitions System (OASYS) and FFRDC Contract Administration System (FCAS) Vendor Portals to Federally Funded Research Development Center Contract Administration System (FCAS) Vendor Portal Attachments 1, 4, 6, and 8 was deleted, and all attachments were subsequently renumbered.
