The pilot test seeks to determine whether the new procedure will reduce the time and effort needed to solicit offers and award contracts in this price range. As now designed, each midrange acquisition of supplies or services is reserved exclusively for small businesses. GAO reviewed (1) the extent to which the pilot test procurement procedures differ from the Federal Acquisition Regulation; (2) the development of key features of the pilot project, including the financial impact of using an electronic commerce system on those wanting to do business with NASA and how such a system would accommodate the amending of solicitations; and (3) NASA's plans for assessing the results of the pilot project. https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-NSIAD-94-67/html/GAOREPORTS-NSIAD-94-67.htm GAO/NSIAD-94-67 https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/GAOREPORTS-NSIAD-94-67 Letter Report GAO/NSIAD-94-67; NASA Procurement: Planning for Pilot Test of New Procurement Procedures Is Adequate; Procurement procedures Procurement regulation Competition Small business contractors Aerospace contracts Documentation Contractor selection Planning Testing Government Acquisition Through Electronic Commerce System Commerce Business Daily
