When a contract value is expected to exceed the simplified acquisition threshold, FAR 9.104-6 requires prospective contractors to complete and submit the Certification Regarding Responsibility Matters, stating whether they are sufficiently responsible to hold a Federal contract. FAR 9.105-2(b) requires that documents supporting a responsibility determination, such as the completed certification, be kept in the contract file. If the certification is made electronically, FAR 4.1201(c) requires that either a verification date or a paper copy of the certification be included in the file.
