GSA Form 3471: Abstract of Offers

GSA Form 3471, Abstract of Offers, is a one-page General Services Administration form, Rev. 10-85, and GSA hosts it in its forms library. Its footer notes Exception to SF 1409 Approved by GSA/OIRM 9/85, and GSA's page lists the authority or regulation as APD 2800.12B.

The form is a table for recording the offers received for one solicitation. It starts with the procurement, location of work and solicitation number, the counts of offers solicited and received, the opening date and time, amendments issued and any set-aside. Item 9 has a row for each bidder, and item 10 is a bid certification signed by the bid opening official and the recorder of bids. It prints no instructions, OMB number or privacy statement.
