They’re asking the public to share thoughts by December 1, 2026, on how to make this info collection easier and more useful. This won’t cost extra money but helps keep government buying smooth and clear.

Comments on this request are open until November 2, 2026, with no new costs expected.
2026-20127, Submission for OMB Review; Acquisition 360 Voluntary Survey
