Optional Government-Furnished Property Agreement

Instructions

The purpose of this document is to memorialize the Offeror’s or Contractor’s request to NASA for use of optional Government-Furnished Property (GFP) or Government-Furnished Information (GFI) (collectively, “Government- Furnished Resources” or “GFR”) for use during performance of the NEXUS contract. For purposes of this document, “optional” means either GFR specified by NASA as available, but not required, for Offerors’ use in the NEXUS solicitation, or other GFR not specified as available but that a NASA Center makes available to an Offeror upon the Offeror’s request.

The Offeror shall use this Agreement for both GFR that, barring unforeseen circumstances, will not be returned to NASA following its use by the Contractor, and also any item that will be loaned by NASA to the Contractor. In the ‘Any Other Pertinent Information’ section, the Offeror shall indicate whether the GFR is requested as a loan or not.

The Offeror shall use one OGFPA per each requested item of GFR unless the items are logically inseparable (e.g., fifty boxes of trash bags).

In the event that the Offeror requests optional GFR by way of one or more OGFPAs, and the Offeror also requires NASA support in modifying, augmenting, transforming, or providing any additional certifications related to the requested item(s), the Offeror must also execute and submit an accompanying Government Task Agreement (GTA) requesting such support in accordance with the procedures and instructions set forth in the GTA template.

How to Inquire About Optional NASA GFR

No GFR was identified or offered in the solicitation. To inquire about GFR that may be available to Offerors, please email MSFC-NEXUS@mail.nasa.gov. To inquire about additional optional GFR after contract award, the Contractor shall work with its Technical Manager or Contracting Officer’s Representative. The Offeror may only request GFR that is unique and not reasonably available commercially. The Offeror shall document its justification for requesting the GFR in the ‘Any Other Pertinent Information’ section. NASA has the right to refuse any request for GFR for any reason.

During any blackout period in which the Offeror is drafting a contract proposal, communications with the Government POCs must be limited to sharing information about the types of GFR that are available, and the specific Optional Government-Furnished Equipment or Property Agreement (OGFPA) requested. The Government POC communications with the Offerors will not include any assistance in preparing the Offeror’s proposal, advice, or opinions on the Offeror’s proposed design solution or approach for performing the work requested by the NEXUS solicitation or any information regarding the NEXUS competition or its technical requirements.

Contract Performance

Upon contract award, the OGFPAs will be subject to formal review and approval by the NEXUS project manager , Contracting Officer, and COR. Once the final terms and conditions of the provision of the optional GFR have been finalized by the Parties (such as delivery date), and any funding has been secured from the appropriate NASA organization if needed, the approved OGFPA will become an attachment to the contract authorizing the Contractor to proceed with the OGFPA(s).

OGFPA Template

The required OGFPA template that Offerors shall use for each item of optional GFR is provided below on pages 2-3 of this Instruction.
