(a) The Contractor with furnished and acquired property must submit an electronic property submissions in NASA’s Accountable Property System of Record (APSR)/NASA Electronic Submission System (NESS) annually; and a final property submission via https://ness.nasa.gov/contractor when the period of performance or award has ended. Once electronic property submission is completed, the contractor will be able to download their electronic forms, in accordance with this clause, the instructions on the form and NFS subpart 1845.71, and any supplemental instructions for the current reporting period issued by NASA.

(b)(1) Subcontractor use of the APSR/NESS is not required by this clause; however, the Contractor must include data on property in the possession of subcontractors in the electronic annual property submission. The Contractor must mail the original signed NF 1018 directly to the cognizant NASA Center Industrial Property Officer and a copy to the cognizant NASA Center Deputy Chief Financial Officer, Finance, unless the Contractor is required by their contract to report with zero value award, that never had property associated.

(c)(1) The annual reporting period must be from October 1 of each year through September 30 of the following year. The report must be submitted in time to be received by October 31st. The information contained in these reports is entered into the NASA accounting system to reflect current asset values for agency financial statement purposes. Therefore, it is essential that required reports be received no later than October 31st.

(2) Some activity may be estimated for the month in which the report is submitted, if necessary, to ensure the electronic annual or final property submission is received when due. However, contractors’ procedures must document the process for developing these estimates based on planned activity such as planned purchases or NASA Form 533 (NF 533) Contractor Financial Management Report) cost estimates. It should be supported and documented by historical experience or other corroborating evidence, and be retained in accordance with FAR Subpart 4.705, Specific Retention Periods. Contractors must validate the reasonableness of the estimates and associated methodology by comparing them to the actual activity once that data is available and adjust them accordingly. In addition, differences between the estimated cost and actual cost must be adjusted during the next reporting period. Contractors must have formal policies and procedures, which address the validation of the electronic annual property or final property submission data, including data from subcontractors, and the identification and timely reporting of errors. The objective of this validation is to ensure that information reported is accurate and in compliance with the NASA FAR Supplement. If errors are discovered on the electronic annual or final property submission after submittal the contractor must contact the cognizant NASA Center Industrial Property Officer (IPO) within 10 days after discovery of the error to discuss corrective action. If there is an error found during the Contractor’s property submission, it will be disapproved, and Contractor will receive an automatic email explaining what is needed for it to be approved.

(3) In addition to an annual report, if at any time during performance of the contract, NASA-owned property in the custody of the Contractor has a value of $10 million or more, the Contractor must also submit a report no later than the 21st of each month in accordance with the requirements of paragraph (c)(2) of this clause.

(4) The Contracting Officer may, in NASA’s interest, withhold payment until a reserve not exceeding $25,000 or 5 percent of the amount of the contract, whichever is less, has been set aside, if the Contractor fails to submit the electronic annual or final property submission reports in accordance with NFS subpart 1845.7101, any monthly report in accordance with (c)(3) of this clause, and any supplemental instructions for the current reporting period issued by NASA. Such reserve must be withheld until the Contracting Officer has determined that NASA has received the required reports. The withholding of any amount or the subsequent payment thereof must not be construed as a waiver of any Government right.

(d) An electronic final report must be submitted in the APSR/NESS within 30 days after disposition of all property subject to reporting when the contract performance period is complete in accordance with paragraph (b)

(1) through (3) of this clause.

GRC 52.245-99 Capital Asset Acquisition - IDIQ Contracts (June 2025)

A.When any task/delivery order issued under this contract includes a requirement for capital assets* the contracting officer will identify those items as such and create separate line items for them on the task/delivery order.

*A capital asset is tangible property or software that NASA determines to be capital based on the following criteria: 1) has a total acquisition (purchase, fabrication, construction, modification, etc) cost of $1,000,000 or more, 2) has an estimated useful life of 2 years or more, 3) is not intended for sale in the ordinary course of operations, 4) has been acquired and/or constructed by the contractor with the intention of being used, or being available for use, by NASA, and 5) if acquired for an R&D activity, have an alternative future use. (Note: Items and/or services with values less than $1,000,000 that contribute to the acquisition or increased value of a capital asset (e.g. design for real property projects, components combined to fabricate capital equipment, or generally all costs necessary to bring the property to a useable condition) are also subject to capitalization rules. Generally, NASA will make the capital determination and inform the contractor if such items are classified as capital assets and/or services are needed for a capital project.)

B. During contract performance, if the contractor determines a need to acquire or fabricate tangible property that may meet the capitalization threshold of $1,000,000, the contractor shall submit a written request for approval to the contracting officer. Based on internal NASA review, if the item is determined necessary for contract performance and determined to be a capital asset, the contracting officer will either: 1) Issue a new task /delivery order for the capital asset, or 2) Modify an appropriate existing task/delivery order to add a separate line item for the capital asset.

C. If NASA Contractor Financial Management Reports (NASA Form (NF) 533’s) are required under this contract, the contractor shall report all costs incurred against each identified capital asset on its own report page on the NF 533’s.

D. The costs incurred for each item designated as a capital asset shall be identified separately on any invoice, voucher, or other authorized payment request submitted by the contractor under this contract.

NASA Reservation of Right to Modify Contract Terms to Facilitate Solicitation and Award Task Order for Lunar Reactor Flight System

(a) The SPARC MAIDIQ contract is NASA's preferred contract vehicle under which to solicit and award a task order for a lunar reactor flight system

(b) NASA recognizes that the MAIDIQ ceiling value, period of performance, and other terms of the SPARC contract may not be sufficient to allow for the award of a lunar reactor flight system

(c) As a result, NASA reserves the right to increase the MAIDIQ ceiling value, extend the Period of Performance, and implement other contractual changes as necessary to solicit and award a task order for the development of a lunar reactor flight system

(d) This clause may be invoked multiple times in order to implement iterative contractual changes related to furthering technological progress toward a lunar reactor flight system

Government Task Agreements

The Government intends to solicit and award Task Orders (TOs) under this MAIDIQ Contract. Each TO will contain its own work requirements, which fall within the overall scope of this contract.

The Contractor is responsible for providing all resources necessary to complete the scope of work(i.e.

personnel, facilities, materials, services, and any other items and functions).

When the Contractor identifies Government resources that would aid in its performance of a particular task order's scope of work, the Contractor shall be responsible for identifying, requesting, and facilitating agreement from the Government regarding these requests in accordance with this clause.

(a) General.

(1) Applicability: While the majority of work to be completed under this contract shall be performed at Contractor or subcontractor facilities, and the responsibility for adequately staffing TOs and completing full TO performance resides solely with the Contractor, the Contractor may request the use of certain specified Government resources in accordance with this clause. This clause applies to the Contractor's use of those Government resources. When Government Furnished Property (GFP) will be provided under a Task Order, Clauses related to GFP will be included at the Task Order level. When the Contractor requests use of GFP after Task Order award, the Contractor shall consent to the inclusion of applicable GFP clauses within the TO.

(2) Process for Requesting and Establishing GTAs: The process for requesting GTAs may vary depending on the acquisition phase within which the GTA is requested. See Attachment J.1-5 Government Task Agreements (GTAs) - Instructions and Template for details.

(3) Disclaimer: NASA makes no warranty whatsoever as to the availability or suitability of NASA resources made available under this clause. The Contractor assumes all responsibility for determining the suitability for use of all NASA resources, including technical suitability, schedule availability, and cost. NASA provides all resources as-is. The Contractor uses all NASA resources at its own risk.

(4) Authority to commit the Government: The Contracting Officer retains sole authority to commit the Government in matters which would change TO price, quantity, delivery schedule, or any other requirement of this TO, including interpretation of technical requirements. The Contracting Officer may designate one or more representatives (e.g., Technical Managers or Contracting Officer's Representatives (CORs)) to assist with TO administration, but these individuals have no authority to commit the Government. Similarly, individuals performing collaboration have no authority to commit the Government, and nothing in this clause shall be construed to confer authority, actual or apparent, to these individuals. Such individuals may offer their opinions, advice, knowledge, or expertise to the Contractor during performance, but the Contractor is not bound to comply with this input and does so on its own accord and at its own risk.

(5) Impermissible use of NASA as a subcontractor or supplier: The Contractor shall not use the NASA resources made available pursuant to this clause to solely provide any end-item deliverable, including components, subsystems, or elements, nor any ground or flight hardware or software, that is the responsibility of the Contractor under the terms of this TO. The Contractor shall not rely solely on NASA for the provision of complete flight or ground operations in support of this effort. This paragraph does not prohibit the Contractor's use of GFP or any other Government-furnished item provided by the Government pursuant to another term of this TO.

(6) Contractor Waiver of Claims: By choosing to use NASA in support of…
