Published Date: 5/29/2026
Notice
Summary
The Department of Defense wants to keep collecting info about public contract actions and is asking for your thoughts before extending this requirement for three more years. This affects businesses and organizations that work with the DoD, helping keep contract info clear and up-to-date. Comments are open until July 28, 2026, and there’s no new cost—just a smooth continuation of current rules.
Analyzed Economic Effects
4 provisions identified: 1 benefits, 3 costs, 0 mixed.
Contractors Must Share Subcontract Contact Lists
If you are a DoD contractor on contracts expected to exceed $1.5 million, you must provide, upon request, a list of employees or offices responsible for entering into subcontracts under DoD contracts. A contractor need not provide the list more than once per year.
Cooperative Holders Can Find Contracting Leads
Cooperative agreement holders can request contractor listings and use that information to identify and pursue contracting opportunities with DoD to expand the number of businesses that can participate in Government contracts.
Quantified Annual Time Burden on Respondents
DoD estimates 5,768 respondents will provide this information once each (5,768 annual responses) with an average burden of 1.08 hours per response, totaling about 6,230 annual burden hours.
Information Collection Extension Proposed
The OMB-approved information collection (Control Number 0704-0286) is currently approved through August 31, 2026; DoD proposes to extend approval so the collection would expire three years after the new approval date. DoD will consider comments received by July 28, 2026.
