The Broadcasting Board of Governors (BBG), International Broadcasting Bureau (IBB), is participating in the Central Contractor Registration (CCR) system maintained by the Department of Defense (DoD). Effective October 1, 2003, the Federal Acquisitions Regulation (FAR) Subpart 4.11- Central Contractor Registration requires all federal agencies to use the CCR system as a single, government-wide system for vendor information. BBG/IBB's current and prospective contractors are required to register in the CCR without delay, to avoid any disruption or loss of contracts, blanket agreements, purchase orders, delivery orders, blanket purchase agreements or basic ordering agreements awards since the regulation has taken effect. CCR registration is required by contractors prior to award of a contract or agreement, except for- (1) Purchases that use a Governmentwide commercial purchase card as both the purchasing and payment mechanism, as opposed to using the purchase card only as a payment method; (2) Classified contracts when registration in the CCR database, or use of CCR data, could compromise the safeguarding of classified information or national security; (3) Contracts awarded by- (i) Deployed contracting officers in the course of military operations, or (ii) Contracting officers in the conduct of emergency operations; (4) Contracts to support unusual or compelling needs ; (5) Awards made to foreign vendors for work performed outside the United States, if it is impractical to obtain CCR registration; and (6) Micro-purchases that do not use the electronic funds transfer (EFT) method for payment and are not required to be reported to Federal Procurement Data System-Next Generation (FPDS-NG). To register your business on the CCR System go to Internet site http://www.ccr.gov. If you have any questions pertaining to BBG/IBB's use of CCR, please contact Brenda Dade at (202) 205-2498.
