The Form 2957, Reimbursable Work Authorization , was recently revised to reflect the requirements of Acquisition Letter V 05-06, Purchases on Behalf of Other Agencies.

The GSA Forms library provides two options for completing the Form 2957:

We do not anticipate producing a Microsoft Word version of Form 2957. Microsoft Word permits the users to change text which is considered to be a requirement of the form. In this case, the exact certification statement is a requirement of the Acquisition Letter and as such is locked down as a FormFill or PDF software.

FormFill Software provides a split view of the RWA form being processed. The top portion of the window provides a view of the form as it is completed while the bottom portion of the window actually provides the actual data entry for the form fields. Ensure that both windows present the identical view of the form being filled out. We suggest viewing at 100% for both sections. Use the "return" key to toggle between data entry fields. Lines 29A through 33C, page two of the form, is accessed through the drop down arrow on the top portion of the FormFill split screen view. Lines 29B, 29C and 29D will right justify only when correct numeric representation of a number is data entered. Line 29G will automatically total when correct numeric representations are entered in column 29F.

Based on comments from users, we have made the following updates to the FormNet Screen Fillable Form:

  • Line 7- "detailed description of work" - has been expanded to six lines of data entry. The data entry represents text wrap which will automatically move to the next line when the end of the line is reached.
  • Line 13E- "agency accounting data" - has been increased to three lines of data entry. The return key must be used to move to the next line of data entry. This enhancement provides for accommodating a full 130 characters without having to decrease the font size.
  • Line 16A- "signature of certifying official" - has been open to data entry
  • Line 23- "brief description of Project" - has been open to data entry.
