GSA Form 850: Contractor Information Worksheet

GSA Form 850, Contractor Information Worksheet, is a General Services Administration form, GSA 850 (REV. 2/2025), marked For Official Use Only, with OMB Control Number 3090-0283 and an expiration date of 9/30/2028. GSA's page lists CIO 2182.2 as its authority or regulation, and the instructions say to use the worksheet for all GSA contractors.

Section 1 is completed by the contractor: the contract employee's name, sex, Social Security number, date and place of birth, home address, work phones, personal email, job title, prior investigation, U.S. citizenship, and entry details for non-U.S. citizens. Sections 2 to 6 are completed by the GSA requesting official: contract information and company points of contact, any reimbursable work authorization or interagency agreement, the project or work location, the type of investigation requested, and the requesting official's own details.

The Privacy Act notice says the form will be used as a means to prepare and issue a credential or pass. GSA estimates 15 minutes to read the instructions, gather the facts and answer the questions.
