    The Architect-Engineer Qualifications form (SF-330) facilitates the selection of architect-engineer (A-E) firms by federal agencies in accordance with relevant statutes and the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR). The document is structured into two main parts: Part I, which details qualifications for a specific contract, and Part II, which captures the general qualifications of a firm. Agencies announce A-E service needs and evaluate firms based on demonstrated competence, leading to negotiations for contract awards. Part I requires firms to provide contract-specific information, outline their proposed teams, and present resumes for key personnel. Additionally, firms showcase relevant example projects that illustrate their qualifications. Part II contains firm-level details, such as ownership structure, employee count by discipline, and experiences over the last five years. This standardized form enhances transparency and consistency in procuring A-E services, streamlining the evaluation process for agencies while enabling companies to effectively present their capabilities in competitive bidding scenarios. The overarching goal is to ensure that selected firms possess the expertise necessary for effective project execution, aligning with federal contracting regulations.
