GSAR clause 552.211-77, Packing List, and its Alternate I, list the requirements for packing lists or other suitable shipping documents when products are being acquired. The information is used to verify order placement and to obtain shipping information (e.g., identify the products included within the shipment). Providing this type of information is a normal commercial practice. The GSAR clause and its Alternate require contractors to provide the cardholder name, telephone number and the term âCredit Cardâ when a Government commercial credit card is being used.
For Item 12, an updated estimated number of respondents per year was used. The change in this number can be attributed to using current procurement data. The previous extension used procurement data from FY21, whereas this extension uses procurement data from FY22, FY23, and FY24. The numbers for each FY were added up and an average calculated to derive some of the numbers shown in the table located in Item 12.
For Item 12, an updated estimated number of packing lists and other suitable documents for each award (i.e., the number used for the estimated responses per respondent annually) was used. The change is attributed to using the aforementioned updated procurement data, accounting for errors found within the prior estimate, as well as rounding up to the nearest $1,000. The yardstick of one packing slip per $1,000 ordered value did not change.
For Item 14, an updated estimated number of responses per year was used. This change is attributed to the aforementioned changes made to Item 12.
For Items 12 and 14, an updated estimated cost per hour and fringe rate was used. The change in these numbers can be attributed to using OPM Salary Table 2024-RUS, Effective January 2024 and a fringe factor of 36.25% (see OMB Memo M-08-13). The previous extension used OPMâs Salary Table 2021-RUS and used a fringe factor of 100%, which is not tied to OMB Memo M-08-13.
