submitted to the John F. Kennedy Space Center,
National Aeronautics and Space Administration, Kennedy Space Center, FL 32899,
Attn: Director of Logistics Operations.
1808.003-72
Acquisition of propellants.
(a) General.
NASA (and its contractors when authorized in accordance with
1851.1) may acquire the items listed in paragraph (j) of this section (except
for liquid hydrogen; see 1808.003-71) on a reimbursable basis from the San
Antonio Air Logistics Center (SA-ALC), Kelly Air Force Base, Texas, under the
Air Force Missile Procurement Fund (MPF). The Air Force MPF shall be used as a
supply source for propellants whenever there are economic or other advantages
to the Government. Field installations and offices obtaining supplies from the
MPF shall comply with the reporting requirements of paragraph (f) of this
section.
(b) Requests for acquisition.
To obtain the materials listed in paragraph (j) of this section from the
Air Force MPF, NASA contracting offices will execute a NASA-Interagency Purchase Request
(NASA Form 523) and forward it to Headquarters, SA-ALC, Kelly Air Force Base,
TX 78241, Attention: SFS. The following additional information should
be provided on the form:
(1) Contract
number (when material is required for use by a NASA contractor).
(2) Delivery
address.
(3) Mode
of transportation (rail, trailer, barge, etc.). When the procurement request
covers requirements for materials not previously forecasted or covers
significant changes to previously reported requirements, SA-ALC should be
notified immediately of such requirements.
(c) Delivery requests.
(1) A
delivery request is a call on the Air Force, made against a NASA-Interagency
Purchase Request (NASA Form 523), specifying the time and place of
delivery. On the basis of the estimated
requirements, the Air Force will notify NASA field installations and contractors
of the name and address of the Air Force office or producing contractor's plant
to which requests for delivery of materials shall be made. Delivery requests may be placed by any means
of communication that time justifies; however, all verbal requests for delivery
must be confirmed in writing within 24 hours. The delivery request, whether
oral or written, must cite the NASA-Interagency Purchase Request number under
which the material is being ordered and contain the following information:
(i) Nomenclature
and National Stock Number.
(ii) Quantity.
(iii) Program, project, and task.
(iv) Contract number (when material
is required for use by a NASA contractor).
(v) Delivery address.
(vi) Dates of delivery.
(vii) Mode of transportation.
(viii) Location of weighing stations and scales (if
weighing of the products before delivery is required).
(2) Each
delivery request shall be numbered as follows to simplify identification and
control: the last two digits of the
calendar year; a dash; and a consecutive number beginning with 1 to run
throughout the year (e.g., 89-5, for the fifth request made in 1989). Changes to a request are identified by adding
an alphabetical designator beginning with (A) to the number.
(d) Receiving procedures.
(1) Receiving documents. Receipt
of materials shall be evidenced on the receiving document received with the
shipment by the signature of an individual authorized by NASA to receive
materials from the Air Force. Every
effort should be made to ensure that the NASA-Interagency Purchase Request number is
recorded on the receiving document before signing.
(2) Weighing facilities. Local weighing facilities (NASA-owned,
contractor-owned, commercial, or State-operated) may be used to determine
quantities of product received. If a
discrepancy exists between the quantities shown on receiving documents and the
quantities actually received --
(i) A certified weighing ticket evidencing actual weight at
destination shall be obtained; and
(ii) A copy of the receiving document (AF Form 857 or DD Form 250) and
the original weighing ticket shall be forwarded to Headquarters, SA-ALC, Kelly
Air Force Base, TX 78241, Attention:
ACFOM, identifying the discrepancy.
(3) Distribution of receipts. Copies of all receiving documents except the
AF Form 857 shall be transmitted to the Headquarters, SA-ALC, Kelly Air Force
Base, TX 78241, Attention: SACAOM. Receiving documents may be accumulated and
submitted on the 10th, 20th, and last day of each month.
(e) Billing. The costs of materials
obtained through the MPF are reimbursable. After delivery, a Standard Form 1080
(Voucher for Transfers Between Appropriations and/or Funds (Disbursement)),
supported by documentary evidence of delivery, will be submitted by
Headquarters, SA-ALC to the NASA installation designated in the NASA Form 523.
(f) Reporting requirements.
(1) Field
installations shall submit periodic estimates of requirements for materials
listed in paragraph (j) of this section for all programs under their
cognizance, including in-house contractor requirements. Reports shall be submitted in duplicate on AF
Form 858, Forecast of Propellant Requirements.
(2) The
reports shall be forwarded no later than June 1 and December 1 to reach
Headquarters, SA-ALC, Kelly AFB, TX 78241, Attn: SFS. Supplemental reports advising of additions to
or significant changes in previous reports may be submitted at any time. The reports, covering all materials listed in
paragraph (j) of this section, due in June and December, shall begin with
requirements as of the following July 1 and January 1, respectively, and shall
cover a 3-year period. Requirements
shall be shown by month for the first 6 months, and by quarters for the remaining
2-1/2-year period.
(3) Estimated
requirements and other pertinent data required from contractors shall be
obtained on Air Force Form 858.
(g) Report content. Reports
shall be made using a separate report form for each material and shall provide,
for each item of material, the --
(1) Contract
number;
(2) Program
and/or project;
(3) Specific task within the
project;
(4) End use when not associated
with the named program or project;
(5) Contractor's name;
(6) Specific location of use
(shipping destination); and
(7) Planned source of supply.
(h) Basis for developing materials requirements. In
computing requirements, consideration shall be given to such elements as lead
time, waste factors, transfer, and storage losses so that phased requirements
reflect the total gross quantities required to be delivered to the use or
storage site. Since the requirements
estimates are being used by other Government agencies acting as supply sources
to contract for materials, estimates must be as accurate as possible.
(i) NASA coordination. The
Kennedy Space Center
shall coordinate the review of all data and establish NASA policy and
procedures. The data shall be used as the basis for NASA requirements reports
to various Government agencies for planning and supply support.

Subpart 1817.1--Multiyear
Contracting
1817.105
Policy.
1817.105-1
Uses.
(b) The Assistant Administrator for Procurement
(Code HS) is the approval authority for the use of the multiyear contracting
technique. Requests for approval shall
be signed by the procurement officer and shall include a description of the
acquisition, identification of anticipated contract costs and funding, and a
determination, with supporting rationale, that each of the criteria in FAR
17.105-1(b) is met by the proposed use of multiyear contracting.
Subpart 1817.2--Options
1817.200
Scope of subpart.
FAR Subpart
17.2 applies to all NASA contracts.
1817.203
Solicitations.
(g)(2) The procurement officer is authorized to
approve option quantities greater than 50 percent.
1817.204 Contracts.
(e)(i) The 5-year limitation
(basic plus option periods) applies to all NASA contracts regardless of type
and other procurement award instruments.
This includes agreements (e.g. basic ordering agreements, blanket
purchase agreements), interagency acquisitions, and orders placed under
agreements or awarded under a Federal Supply Schedule or other indefinite
delivery/indefinite quantity contracts awarded by other agencies. See 1816.505-71 for limitations on the
ordering period of task and delivery order contracts.
(ii)
When the performance period exceeds 5 years (exclusive of options),
the program/project office and the contracting officer shall review the
requirement at the mid-point of the performance period to ensure that the products
or services continue to fulfill NASA’s mission needs and that the procurement
award instrument continues to provide the best means of satisfying the
requirement.
(iii)
Requests for deviations from the 5-year limitation policy shall be sent to the
Assistant Administrator for Procurement (Code HS) and shall include
justification for exceeding five years.
The justification shall discuss planned future assessment of continued
performance either prior to exercise of options or at the mid-term of a basic
contract with no options. Evidence shall
also be included showing that the extended years can be reasonably priced.
1817.206
Evaluation.
(b)(i) The
procurement officer is the approval authority for determinations by the
contracting officer not to evaluate offers for any option quantities or
periods.
(ii) Unless a determination has been approved under 1817.206(b)(i), the
selection statement for each acquisition involving an option shall address the
source selection authority's consideration of the option as part of the initial
competition.
1817.207
Exercise of options.
(c)(2)
In addition to determining the option fulfills an existing need, the
contracting officer shall determine that there is no change in the scope of the
option requirements.
(f) Options
under cost type contracts shall contain an estimated cost for the option
period(s).
(f)(2) Use
of the provision (or formula) for determining the price of a fixed price option
requires advance approval by the Assistant Administrator for Procurement (Code
HS).
(f)(3)(ii) Use of a formula to determine the fee of an
option in a cost-type contract requires advance approval of the Assistant
Administrator for Procurement (Code HS).
The formula shall preclude the contractor from increasing costs for the
purpose of earning additional fee.
1817.207-70 Analysis to support exercise of options.
(a) The contracting officer’s determination that
exercise of the option is the most advantageous method of fulfilling the
requirement shall be based on input and information from the requiring
organization. The contracting officer
and the requiring organization shall ensure that analysis sufficient to support
the determination that option exercise is the most advantageous method is completed
in advance of providing the notice to the contractor required by FAR
17.207(a). Sufficient time shall remain
in the performance period to allow the acquisition team to pursue appropriate
alternative approaches with minimal impact to the program or project in terms
of technical, cost, or schedule risk should the analysis conclude that the best
programmatic path is not exercising the option.
(b) The analysis required to support the option
exercise determination must include consideration of other factors in addition
to price. In addition to the other
factors contained in FAR 17.207(e), the determination to exercise the option
should include, but is not limited to, consideration of --
(1)
The contractor’s performance in satisfying contract requirements, for example,
receiving positive performance ratings (see Subpart 1842.15) and the
contractor’s level of success in implementing and maintaining small business
programs (including mentoring arrangements), which were evaluated as part of
the source selection process and incorporated into the awarded contract; and
(2) The results of market research activities to
identify any technical, engineering or scientific advances that offer
programmatic benefits or performance improvements beyond those that are
contractually available under the option to be exercised.
1817.208
Solicitation provisions and contract clauses.
(c)(3) The
contracting officer shall insert a provision substantially the same as FAR
52.217-5 in cost reimbursement contracts when the other
conditions of FAR 17.208(c) are met.
Subpart 1817.4--Leader

Scope of subpart.
(b) See 1817.70.
Subpart 1817.70 –Interagency
Acquisitions
1817.7000 Scope of
subpart.
This subpart contains policies and procedures
for the acquisition of supplies or services by NASA from or through Military Departments
(see 1817.7004) and Civilian Agencies (see 1817.7005).
1817.7001 Authorization and policy.
(a) The National Aeronautics and Space Act of 1958 (42
U.S.C. 2473 et seq.) applies to NASA interagency acquisitions except those
acquisitions for the NASA Office of Inspector General acquired under the
authority of the Inspector General Act of 1978 (5 U.S.C. APPENDIX
Sec.6(a)(9)). NASA has elected to
conform its implementation of the National Aeronautics and Space Act of 1958
and the Inspector General Act of 1978 to the requirements of the Economy Act
(see FAR 17.5).
(b)
Individual orders or successive non-competitive interagency orders for the same
requirement with the same servicing agency shall not exceed five years.
(c)
Requests for deviation from the five year limitation in paragraph (b) of this
section shall require the approval of the Center Director if the estimated
value of the order is $5 million or less, or the Assistant Administrator for
Procurement (Program Operations Division) if the estimated value of the order
exceeds $5 million. Requests for
deviation shall address:
(1)
Why more than five years is required;
(2)
Why the work must be performed by the same servicing agency; and
(3)
How long beyond the current order the requirement is expected to continue.
1817.7002
Determinations and findings requirements.
(a) Interagency acquisitions shall be supported
by a Determination and Finding (D&F) equivalent to that required for
Economy Act acquisitions (see FAR 17.503).
This requirement applies to all purchases of goods or services under
contracts entered into or administered by agencies other than NASA including
the Military Departments and Civilian Agencies.
The Space Act shall be cited as authority for all NASA interagency
acquisitions except that the Inspector General Act shall be cited as the
authority for interagency acquisitions for the NASA Office of Inspector
General.
(b) To satisfy the D&F requirement identified
in FAR 17.503(a)(2), current market prices,
recent acquisition prices, or prices obtained by informational submissions as
provided in FAR 15.201 may be used to
ascertain whether the acquisition can be accomplished more economically from
commercial sources.
(c) In addition to
the requirements in FAR 17.503, the D&F must identify the period of
performance and whether the acquisition is a non-competitive follow-on for the
same services from the same servicing agency.
(See 1817.7001(b).)
(d)
A D&F is required for each individual contract action (see FAR 1.702) and
any increase permitted by options (see FAR 17.2).
(e) The determination described in paragraph (a)
of this section is not required for contracts awarded under the Space Act to
Government agencies pursuant to a Broad Agency Announcement when a review of
the acquisition records would make it obvious that the award is not being used
as a method of circumventing regulatory or statutory requirements, particularly
FAR Part 6, Competition Requirements (e.g., when a significant number and value
of awards made under the BAA are made to entities other than Government
agencies).
(f)
All D&Fs for a servicing agency not covered by the FAR shall be
approved by the Assistant Administrator for Procurement.
(g) Each D&F, including class D&Fs
shall be reviewed by legal (see NFS 1801.770).
1817.7003
Ordering procedures.
To satisfy the ordering procedures in FAR
17.504(b)(4), all payment provisions shall require the servicing agency or
department to submit a final voucher, invoice, or other appropriate payment
document within six months after the completion date of the order. A different period may be specified by mutual
agreement if six months is not sufficient.
1817.7004
Acquisitions with Military Departments
This section contains policies and procedures,
developed jointly by NASA and DOD, for acquisition of supplies or services by
NASA from or through the Military Departments.
1817.7004-1
Authorization and policy.
(a) NASA is authorized by the National Aeronautics and Space
Act of 1958 (42 U.S.C. 2473 et seq.) to use
the acquisition services, personnel, equipment, and facilities of the Military
Departments, with their consent and with or without reimbursement, and, on a
similar basis, to cooperate with the Military Departments in the use of acquisition
services, equipment, and facilities.
(b) The
Military Departments have agreed to cooperate fully with NASA in making their
acquisition services, equipment, personnel, and facilities available on the
basis of mutual agreement.
(c) The Military
Departments have agreed not to claim reimbursement for administrative costs
incident to acquisitions for NASA, except as may be otherwise agreed before the
services are performed.
(d) When
procuring supplies or services for NASA or performing field service functions
in support of NASA contracts, the Military Departments have agreed to use their
own methods, except when otherwise required by the terms of the agreement
involved.
(e) The
Military Departments normally will use their own funds when procuring supplies
or services or performing services for NASA, and will not cite NASA funds on
any Defense obligation or payment document.
1817.7004-2
NASA-Interagency Purchase Request and acceptance.
(a) The
NASA-Interagency Purchase Request (NASA Form 523) shall be used by NASA
contracting offices for requesting acquisition of supplies or services from all
activities of the Military Departments.
Individual NASA-Interagency Purchase Requests shall be prepared in accordance
with the instructions on the reverse of NASA Form 523 and shall be numbered in
accordance with Subpart 1804.71. The form shall not be used for requesting
--
(1) Block transfers of excess property
between NASA and the Military Departments;
(2) Performance by the Military Departments
of field service functions related to NASA contracts; or
(3) Items that the Military Departments
normally purchase and stock for military use or in-house services, except when
a DOD activity is willing to accept the form for these purposes. Supplies and services of this nature may be
requisitioned using appropriate DOD forms when they are provided by and are
acceptable to or preferred by the Military Department supplying activity or as
otherwise mutually agreed upon by the parties.
(b) Include
a provision in accordance with 1817.7003.
(c) To
obtain materials from the Air Force Missile Procurement Fund, the contracting
officer shall follow the procedures of 1808.003-72.
1817.7004-3
Acceptance by Military Department.

this section, the Military Department concerned will, within 30 days after
receipt of a NASA-Interagency Purchase Request, forward to the initiator of the
request an Acceptance of MIPR, DD Form 448-2.
Each DD Form 448-2 will show the action being taken to fill the
requirement and the name and complete address of the DOD contracting activity.
(b) To the extent feasible, all documents
(including acceptances, contracts, correspondence, shipping documents, work or
project orders, and Standard Form 1080 (Voucher for Transfer between
Appropriations and/or Funds) billings) will reference the NASA-Interagency
Purchase Request number and the item number.
(c) Acceptance by the Military Department is
not required for NASA-Interagency Purchase Requests covering deliveries of
common-use standard-stock items that the supplying agency has on hand or on
order for prompt delivery at published prices.
1817.7004-4
Changes in estimated total prices.
When a Military Department determines that
the estimated total price (Block 7, NASA Form 523) of the items to be acquired
for NASA is not sufficient to cover the required reimbursement or is in excess
of the amount required, a request for an amendment will be forwarded to the
NASA originating office. The request
will indicate a specific dollar amount, rather than a percentage, and will
include justification for any upward adjustment requested. Upon approval of the
request, the Cognizant NASA contracting office shall forward to the DOD
contracting activity an amendment to the NASA-Interagency Purchase Request.
1817.7004-5
Payments.
Except when agreements provide that
reimbursement is not required, payments to the Military Departments shall be
made by NASA office designated in block 9 of the NASA-Interagency Purchase
Request upon receipt of Standard Form 1080.
Billings
will be supported in the same manner as billings between Military Departments.
1817.7004-6
