GSA RWA Point-of-Contact (POC) listing has been updated (4/8/2009). See link under "Related GSA Topics" on the right.
RWA Form 2957
The Reimbursable Work Authorization (RWA), Form 2957, 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:
-
-
PDF - A filled out PDF version of the form cannot be saved with the Adobe Acrobat Viewer. Only the Adobe Standard or Professional versions must be used to save filled out PDF version of Form 2957. The most current version of the Adobe Professional is required to modify a previously saved PDF version of Form 2957.
Instructions for Adobe Acrobat (pdf) Users >
We do not anticipate producing a Microsoft Word version of the RWA Form 2957. Microsoft Word permits users to change text, which violates GSA Form requirements. In this case, the RWA certification statement is a requirement of the Acquisition Letter and as such is locked down by the FormFill or PDF software.

Note: In November 2007, GSA changed the format of its RWA billing statements to be more user friendly (see example here). The updated format was to address suggestions received by many of our RWA customers. As such you will notice that all billings dated October 2007 and earlier will display in the older format, whereas billings in November 2007 through present day will display in the newer format.
