1852.239-73 REVIEW OF THE OFFEROR’S INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY

SYSTEMS SUPPLY CHAIN (APR 2016) (DEVIATION)

(a) Definitions, as used in this provision.

“Acquire” means to procure with appropriated funds by and for the use of NASA through purchase or lease.

“Information Technology (IT) System” means the combination of hardware components, software, and other equipment to make a system whose core purpose is to accomplish a data processing need such as the automatic acquisition, storage, analysis, evaluation, manipulation, management, movement, control, display, switching, interchange, transmission or reception of data. IT systems include ground systems in support of flight hardware. IT systems do not include—

• Systems acquired by a contractor incidental to a contract and not directly charged to the contract, such as a contractor’s payroll and personnel management system;

• Systems that do not process NASA information, i.e., any data which is collected, generated, maintained, or controlled on behalf of the Agency.

• Imbedded IT that is used as an integral part of the product, but the principal function of which is not the acquisition, storage, analysis, evaluation, manipulation, management, movement, control, display, switching, interchange, transmission, or reception of data or information. For example, HVAC (heating, ventilation, and air conditioning) equipment such as thermostats or temperature control devices, and medical equipment where IT is integral to its operation are not considered IT systems;

• Services in support of IT systems, such as help desk services; or

• Flight hardware, which includes aircraft, spacecraft, artificial satellites, launch vehicles, balloon systems, sounding rockets, on-board instrument and technology demonstration systems, and equipment operated on the International Space Station; as well as prototypes, and engineering or brass boards created and used to test, troubleshoot, and refine…
