Our mission is to provide quality and responsive acquisition services for this Command. In an effort to continue to improve our services, we are conducting a survey of our vendors. This survey may be found on the World Wide Web at the following address: http://www.crane.navy.mil/supply/VendorSurvey.htm. Your comments will help us determine if we are accomplishing this and show us ways to improve our processes. Please consider taking the time to complete the survey. There is a new Federal Integrated Acquisition Environment (IAE) initiative called the Online Representations and Certifications Application (ORCA). ORCA is a web-based system that centralizes and standardizes the collection, storage and viewing of many of the representations and certifications required by the Federal Acquisition Regulations and previously found in solicitations. According to the language included in FAR Case 2001-026, vendors are required to use ORCA beginning 1 January 2005. Detailed information can be found in the FAR Case, as well as by visiting the Help section of the website at http://orca.bpn.gov. The help section includes ORCA background information, frequently asked questions (FAQ), the ORCA Handbook, and whom to call for assistance.
