CONTRACTOR THIRD-PARTY WORK

(C3PW) INSTRUCTIONS

Informational Instructions Regarding the Process for Accomplishing Contractor 3rd-Party Work (C3PW) on the Kennedy Space Center

(Version 3.14.16)

Purpose The purpose of this instruction is to inform the contractor regarding the process that must be followed if the contractor wishes to perform C3PW and where contractor personnel performing the C3PW are resident on the Kennedy Space Center (KSC).

C3PW is defined as work performed by the contractor on KSC and paid for via any agreement other than this contract, another NASA prime contract, or a NASA subcontract (at any tier).

Background C3PW performed by the contractor and its subcontractors on KSC will utilize or benefit from Government resources and services, and most likely will also involve use of Government Property (GP) identified in this contract. The contractor’s workforce’s mere presence on KSC benefits from the installation’s resources (housing, roads, grounds, utilities, communications, emergency services, equipment, installation management and administrative support, etc.), the costs of which are paid by the Government, but which would otherwise be a part of the contractor’s costs of doing business if located offsite.

These benefits are considered “special benefits to an identifiable recipient above and beyond those which accrue to the public at large” and others in the commercial market place would have to pay for such costs of doing business. NASA policy requires that, when such benefits are existent in a circumstance where a contractor is performing C3PW, a charge shall be imposed to recover the full cost for the service, goods, or resource provided. In such circumstances, an agreement independent of this contract must be executed between the contractor and NASA KSC under which all the costs of such Government resources, as may be utilized, or benefit a particular instance of C3PW, are defined and the contractor agrees to pay, in addition to other applicable conditions and requirements. This agreement will be in the form of a Reimbursable Space Act Agreement (RSAA). RSAA’s are entirely independent of this contract. The requirements as to the data required to enter into such agreements, the terms of the agreements, issues related to the administration of the agreements, and resolution of all issues related thereto shall be addressed with the Contracting Officer’s Representative (COR), as applicable, responsible for entering into and administering the RSAA.

Use of GP Identified in the Contract GP identified in the lists in the contract shall be used only for performance of the NASA contract unless approval for other use is provided by the Contracting Officer. The conditions for such use are specified by the Contracting Officer with each approval. The Contracting Officer’s approval is usually provided in a letter replying to a specific contractor request. However, under this contract, for C3PW that will require an RSAA and where the work will utilize GP identified in the lists in the contract, NASA will determine if use fees will apply. If it is determined that use fees apply, then approval for use of the specified GP will be provided by the Contracting Officer in each RSAA Annex, the applicable use fees will be specified therein, and the RSAA Annex will constitute the establishment of use fees pursuant to the contract’s Use and Charges clause.

Use of All Other Government Resources Before the contractor performs any instance of C3PW on KSC, the contractor shall ascertain the need for Government resources, enter into an RSAA for any such Government resources that will be utilized or benefit each instance of C3PW, and comply with the requirements specified therein. If the work to be performed outside this contract involves work under another federal agency’s prime contract, including a subcontract thereto, the contractor shall coordinate with the Contracting Officer or COR on this contract to identify the applicable documentation requirements, and shall not assume an RSAA is or is not required. In such instances, regardless of whether or not an RSAA would be required, the contractor must obtain the Contracting Officer’s approval for use of GP when performing as a prime or subcontract under any other Government contract(s).

Point of Contact for C3PW and RSAAs The point of contact regarding C3PW and entering into an RSAA is the COR. If the C3PW is performed as a subcontractor (at any tier) to a cost-type NASA prime contract, an RSAA is not required, but use of GP must be approved by the Contracting Officer. In this circumstance, a request for rent-free use should be sent to the Contracting Officer.

Information Regarding Subcontract Work Under NASA Prime or Subcontracts

Subcontracts Under Cost-type NASA Prime Contracts and Subcontracts At Any Tier In An Unbroken Cost-type Chain

Subcontracts in this circumstance are not considered to be C3PW and no fees or charges for use of NASA resources will apply. However, approval for use of GP must be obtained from the Contracting Officer prior to entering into such subcontracts.

Subcontracts Under Fixed Price (FP) NASA Prime Contracts Or A FP Subcontract At Any Tier

Subcontracts in this circumstance are not considered to be C3PW as defined above, since the work is for NASA. However, it is unlikely that upper-tier FP contractors obtained approval for rent-free use of KSC resources by anticipated KSC onsite subcontractors as a condition of their FP contracts and assured such authority was specified therein. If such approval was not obtained for a specific subcontract with a KSC onsite contractor, then that onsite subcontractor shall follow the C3PW process to obtain approval to perform the subcontract on KSC, and C3PW fees or charges will be applied. In other words, subcontracts under a FP NASA prime at any tier will be subject to the C3PW process and pricing, unless the FP NASA prime contract or upper tier FP subcontract was based upon and includes explicit authorization for rent free use of GP and/or KSC facilities for performance of the instant subcontract with a KSC onsite contractor.

GOVERNMENT TASK AGREEMENT

COMET RFP No. 80KSC022R0004 ATTACHMENT J-21

Government Task Agreement Instructions

Introduction While the work to be completed under this contract shall be the responsibility of the Contractor, and accordingly, the responsibility for adequately staffing this contract and completing full contract performance resides solely with the Contractor, the Contractor may request to use available NASA Full-Time Equivalent (FTE) employees for collaboration as described in contract clause H.21, Use of Government Resources (hereinafter “the clause”). In the event of a conflict between that clause and these instructions, the clause shall govern.

Instructions The purpose of this document, a Government Task Agreement (GTA), is to document the Contractor’s requested approach to utilization of the NASA FTE resources that are described in the clause. GTAs may be initiated, amended or revised during performance as agreed to by the Contracting Officer’s Representative (COR) and the Contractor. The Contractor shall be responsible for the cost of Government resources under a reimbursable GTA.

The provision of any GTA shall be subject to a determination by the Government that any potential organizational conflicts of interest (OCIs) can be effectively avoided, negated, or adequately mitigated.

The Contractor shall use one GTA for each requested endeavor.

How to Inquire About NASA Resources To inquire about relevant, unique resources at NASA that may be available to Contractors, contact the COR. The Government has the right to refuse any GTA request for any reason.

GTA Template The required Government Task Agreement template to be used for each GTA is provided below on pages 3-5 of this Instruction.
