[Insert name and address of appropriate NASA Center office.], unless the Contractor uses the NF 1018 Electronic Submission System (NESS) for report preparation and submission.

(c)(1) The annual reporting period shall be from October 1 of each year through September 30 of the following year. The report shall 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 NF 1018 is received when due. However, contractors' procedures must

G-4 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 4.7, Contractor Records Retention.

Contractors shall 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 shall have formal policies and procedures, which address the validation of NF 1018 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 NF 1018 after submission, the contractor shall contact the cognizant NASA Center Industrial Property Officer (IPO) within 30 days after discovery of the error to discuss corrective action.

(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 shall also submit a report no later than the 21st of each month in accordance with the requirements of paragraph (c)(2) of this clause.

Such reserve shall 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 shall not be construed as a waiver of any Government right.

(d) A final report shall be submitted 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.

(1) Monthly property financial reports shall be submitted including item-level supporting data for all items acquired/fabricated/modified where the total acquisition cost of the item is $500,000 or more, in the contractor’s or its subcontractors’ possession. This data shall be submitted for all items in the property classifications of real property, equipment, special test equipment, special tooling, and agency peculiar property.

(2) Monthly data shall also be submitted for items of any acquisition cost in the classifications of materials and contract work-in-process (WIP). Specifically, itemized monthly data is required for materials and WIP line items when the estimated total acquisition cost of any item at completion will be $500,000 or more.

(b) The monthly reports shall be electronically submitted using the Contractor-Held Asset Tracking System (CHATS) at https://chats.nasa.gov using the format described in the CHATS user’s manual.

(c) Acquisition costs shall be developed using actual costs to the greatest extent possible, especially costs directly related to fabrication such as labor and materials. Supporting documentation shall be maintained and available for all amounts reported, including any amounts developed using estimating techniques.

(d) All adjustments shall be thoroughly explained and directly related to a specific Government Fiscal Year (GFY). If the GFY cannot be determined, the default shall be the previous GFY.

(e) Work Breakdown Structures (WBS) shall be provided for all Contractor acquired property (CAP), WIP, and any new materials acquired. The format shall be a five digit numerical level.

(i.e., 803-10). If the WBS is not identifiable, contact the NASA GSFC Property Office for further guidance, as provided in paragraph (f)(4) below.

(f)(1) The data required for the monthly submission is due the 21st day after the close of the month.

e.g., August 21 for the month ending July 31

September 21 for the month ending August 31

October 21 for the month ending September 30

(2) The monthly property financial reports required by this clause are separate from, and in addition to the annual NF 1018 reports.

(3) Both the NF 1018 report data and the September monthly report data are as of September 30.

Corrections in monthly report data shall be handled as adjustments in the next monthly report after discovery of the error. (e.g., Errors in the September monthly report shall be reported as adjustments in the October monthly report. The NF 1018 shall reflect the corrected numbers and the contractor shall provide a note regarding the corrected monthly report error under Comments in the NF 1018.) Errors in the NF1018 found after the November 30 submission shall be reported

G-8 as adjustments in the NF 1018 for the next reporting year, unless immediate correction and resubmission are directed by NASA.
