Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA).
ACTION: Final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: This document amends the NASA Federal Acquisition Regulation
Supplement (NFS) to reflect a number of miscellaneous changes dealing
with NASA internal and administrative matters, such as the NASA FAR
Supplement rewrite and reporting of contract data by NASA procurement
offices.
EFFECTIVE DATE: October 1, 1995.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Mr. David K. Beck, (202) 358-0482.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Availability of NASA FAR Supplement
The NASA FAR Supplement, of which this rule is a part, is available
in its entirety on a subscription basis from the Superintendent of
Documents, Government Printing Office, Washington, DC 20402, telephone
number (202) 512-1800. Cite GPO Subscription Stock Number 933-003-
00000-1. It is not distributed to the public, either in whole or in
part, directly by NASA.
Rewrite of NASA FAR Supplement
NASA is reviewing and rewriting 48 CFR chapter 18, the NASA FAR
Supplement, in its entirety in order to implement recommendations of
the National Performance Review. During this review, NASA is
eliminating reporting requirements and making other changes in order to
reduce and simplify the regulation. This rule is part of the effort to
simplify NASA's regulations.
Summary of Changes
Unnecessary words in subparts 1801.6 and 1801.7 are eliminated.
Sections 1801.603 and 1801.670 are substantially reduced in order to
rely primarily on FAR guidance on delegation of contracting officer
authority. Section 1801.703 is substantially reduced in order to rely
primarily on FAR guidance on class determinations and findings (D&F's).
Section 1801.770 is added on legal review of D&F's prior to signature.
In subpart 1804.6, instructions are revised concerning data elements
required to be reported by NASA procurement offices. Sections 1804.672
and 1852.204-70, Report on NASA Subcontracts, are removed. Section
1804.674 on subcontract reporting is removed because it is already
covered by subpart 1819.7.
Paragraph 1834.005-1(k) is removed because it unnecessarily
duplicates instructions in subpart 1804.6. Other sections are amended
as a result of Federal Acquisition Circulars 90-29 and 90-31.
Impact
NASA certifies that this regulation will not have a significant
economic effect on a substantial number of small entities under the
Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.).

number of firms to which solicitations were provided.
(36) Item 28--Number of offers received (3 positions). Enter the
actual number of offers received in response to the solicitation.
(37) Item 29--Solicitation procedures (1 position). This item
pertains to the requirements of FAR subparts 6.1 (Full and Open
Competition), 6.2 (Full and Open Competition After Exclusion of
Sources), and 6.3 (Other Than Full and Open Competition), with the
exception of the statutory authorities for other than full and open
competition (subpart 6.3), which are reported in Item 30. Codes ``A''
through ``L'' designate the competition alternatives described in FAR
part 6. Delivery-order contract actions under indefinite-delivery
contracts shall be reported the same as the initial contract when the
following criterion, in FAR 6.001(e), is met: They are orders placed
under indefinite-delivery contracts that were entered into pursuant to
FAR part 6, and either the contract was awarded under subpart 6.1 or
6.2 and all responsible sources were realistically permitted to compete
for the requirements contained in the order, or the contract was
awarded under subpart 6.3 and the required justification and approval
adequately covers the requirements contained in the order.
(i) Code A--Full and open competition sealed bid is entered when
the sealed bidding (see FAR 6.401(a)) method of contracting was used.
(ii) Code B--Full and open competition--competitive proposal is
entered when the FAR part 15, Contracting by Negotiation, procedures
were used for a competitive solicitation.
(iii) Code C--Full and open competition--combination is entered
when any combination of competitive procedures (e.g., two-step sealed
bidding) was used (see FAR 6.102(c)).
(iv) Code D--Architect-engineer is entered if the action resulted
from selection of sources for architect-engineer (A&E) contracts in
accordance with Public Law 92-582 and procedures in FAR subpart 36.6
(see FAR 6.102(d)(1)). The selection of a potential A&E contractor is
made by an A&E Evaluation Board conducted in accordance with 41 U.S.C.
541 et seq. This selection process is considered a competitive
procedure and shall be reported as a competitive award. When award is
an A&E contract and was a result of a small business set-aside or labor
surplus area set-aside, use code K in lieu of this code.
(v) Code E--NASA Research Announcement/Announcement of Opportunity
is entered if the action resulted from competitive selection of basic
research proposals as a result of
(A) A broad agency announcement (NASA Research Announcement or
Announcement of Opportunity) that is general in nature identifying
areas of research interest, including criteria for selecting proposals,
and soliciting the participation of all offerors capable of satisfying
the Government's needs and
(B) A peer or scientific review (see FAR 6.102(d)(2)).
(vi) Code F--Multiple-award schedule is entered if the action is an
order issued against a multiple-award schedule using the procedures in
FAR 8.405-1 (see FAR 6.102(d)(3)). This code shall be used for
multiple-award schedule contracts (mandatory or optional). This code
may be used for ADP procurements, unless the solicitation utilized
make-or-model specifications. Use of the multiple-award schedule
program is considered to be a competitive procedure because competitive
procedures were used by GSA to make the basic multiple-award schedule
contract awards under 41 U.S.C. 259(b)(3)(A). For reporting purposes,
an order issued against a multiple-award schedule shall be reported as
a competitive award.
(vii) Code G--Alternate source--reduced cost is entered if the
action was taken pursuant to FAR 6.202(a)(1), which states that
agencies may exclude a particular source from a contract action in
order to establish or maintain an alternative source or sources for the
supplies or services being acquired if the agency head determines that
to do so would increase or maintain competition and likely result in
reduced overall costs for the acquisition, or for any anticipated
acquisition of such supplies or services.
(viii) Code H--Alternate source--mobilization is entered if the
action was taken pursuant to FAR 6.202(a)(2), which states that
agencies may exclude a particular source from a contract action in
order to establish or maintain an alternative source or sources for the
supplies or services being acquired if the agency head determines that
to do so would be in the interest of national defense in having a
facility (or a producer, manufacturer, or other supplier) available for
furnishing the supplies or services in case of a national emergency or
industrial mobilization.
(ix) Code J--Alternate source--engineering/R&D capability is
entered if
[[Page 47709]]
the action was taken pursuant to FAR 6.202(a)(3), which states that
agencies may exclude a particular source from a contract action in
order to establish or maintain an alternative source or sources for the
supplies or services being acquired if the agency head determines that
to do so would be in the interest of national defense in establishing
or maintaining an essential engineering, research, or development
capability to be provided by an educational or other nonprofit
institution or a federally funded research and development center.
(x) Code K--Set-asides is entered if the action resulted from use
of procedures for set-asides pursuant to FAR 6.203. This includes small
business set-asides, labor surplus area set-asides, or combinations
thereof, but not architect-engineer contracts (use Code D). Code K also
includes contract actions under the Small Business Innovation Research
(SBIR) Program established under Public Law 97-219.
(xi) Code L--Other than full and open competition is entered if the
action resulted from use of other than full and open competition
pursuant to 10 U.S.C. 2304(c). The conditions or exceptions permitting
contracting without providing for full and open competition are
prescribed in FAR 6.302. Enter this code for noncompetitive awards made
under the authority of Section 8(a) of the Small Business Act (see FAR
subpart 19.8). This code shall also be used for all ADP procurements
where the solicitation utilized make-and-model specifications.
(38) Item 30--Authority for other than full and open competition.
When Item 29 is coded ``L,'' this item must be completed. Enter the
applicable code from the categories listed in this paragraph (b)(38).
This item identifies the solicitation process and not the extent of
competition obtained.
(i) Code A--Unique source is entered when the contract action is
under 10 U.S.C. 2304(c)(1) and the agency's minimum needs can be
satisfied only by unique supplies or services available from only one
source or only one supplier with unique capabilities (see FAR 6.302-
1(b)(1)).
(ii) Code B--Fellow-on contract is entered when the contract action
is under 10 U.S.C. 2304(c)(1) and it is likely that the award of
follow-on contracts must be to the original source because award to any
other source would result in--
(A) Substantial duplication of cost to the Government that is not
expected to be recovered through competition or
(B) Unacceptable delays in fulfilling the agency's requirements
(see FAR 6.302-1(a)(2)(ii)).
(iii) Code C--Unsolicited research proposal is entered when the
contract action is under 10 U.S.C. 2304(c)(1) as the result of

(B) Does not resemble the substance of a pending competitive
acquisition (see FAR 6.302-1(a)(2)(i)).
(iv) Code D--Patent/data rights is entered when the contract action
is under 10 U.S.C. 2304(c)(1) because the existence of limited rights
in data, patent rights, copyrights, or secret processes; the control of
basic raw material; or similar circumstances make the supplies and
services available from only one source (see FAR 6.302-1(b)(2)).
(v) Code E--Utilities is entered when--
(A) The contract action is under 10 U.S.C. 2304(c)(1) when
acquiring electric power or energy, gas (natural or manufactured),
water, or other utility services and circumstances dictate that only
one supplier can furnish the service or
(B) The contemplated contract is for construction of a part of a
utility system and the utility company itself is the only source
available to work on the system (see FAR 6.302-1(b)(3)).
(vi) Code F--Standardization is entered when the contract action is
under 10 U.S.C. 2304(c)(1) because the agency head has determined under
the agency's standardization program that only specified makes and
models of technical equipment and parts will satisfy the agency's needs
for additional units or replacement items and only one source is
available (see FAR 6.302-1(b)(4)).
(vii) Code G--Only one source--other is entered when the contract
action is under 10 U.S.C. 2304(c)(1) to a single source and codes ``A''
through ``F'' of this paragraph (b)(38) do not apply (see FAR 6.302-
1(b)).
(viii) Code H--Urgency is entered when the contract action is under
10 U.S.C. 2304(c)(2) because--
(A) An unusual and compelling urgency precludes full and open
competition and
(B) Delay in award of a contract would result in serious injury,
financial or other, to the Government (see FAR 6.302-2(b)).
(ix) Code J--Mobilization is entered when the contract action is
under 10 U.S.C. 2304(c)(3) to a particular source or sources in order
to maintain a facility, producer, manufacturer, or other supplier
available for furnishing supplies or services in case of a national
emergency or to achieve industrial mobilization (see FAR 6.302-
3(b)(1)).
(x) Code K--Essential R&D capabilities is entered when the contract
action is under 10 U.S.C. 2304(c)(3) to a particular source or sources
in order to establish or maintain an essential engineering, research,

nonprofit institution or a federally funded research and development
center (see FAR 6.302-3(b)(2)).
(xi) Code L--International agreement is entered when the contract
action is under 10 U.S.C. 2304(c)(4) because full and open competition
is precluded by--
(A) The terms of an international agreement or treaty between the
United States and a foreign government or international organization or
(B) The written directions of a foreign government reimbursing the
agency for the cost of the acquisition of the supplies or services (see
FAR 6.302-4).
(xii) Code M--Authorized by statute is entered when the contract
action is under 10 U.S.C. 2304(c)(5) because a statute expressly
authorizes or requires that the acquisition be made through another
agency or from a specified source (see FAR 6.302-5(a)(2)(i)). This code
should be used for noncompetitive 8(a) awards.
(xiii) Code N--Authorized resale is entered when the contract
action is under 10 U.S.C. 2304(c)(5) for a brand-name commercial item
for resale through commissaries or other similar facilities (see FAR

is under 10 U.S.C. 2304(c)(6) because disclosure of the Government's
needs would compromise the national security (see FAR 6.302-6).
(xv) Code Q--Public interest is entered when the contract action is
under 10 U.S.C. 2304(c)(7) because the agency head has determined that
full and open competition is not in the public interest in the
