GRC SECTION 15 - PHYSICAL SECURITY

A. GENERAL INFORMATION

PurposeNASA Form (NF) 1707, "Special Approvals and Affirmations of Requisitions" is required by the NASA Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement, section 1804.7301, to document procurement request coordination. The procurement office will not accept a requisition until all required coordinations have been documented.

When and How to Submit the NF 1707The procurement request (PR) is known as a "purchase requisition" (requisition) and is developed in NASA's Integrated Enterprise Management Program/Core Financial Module (CF). For a requisition to be sent forward for action, CF requires that several coordinations be obtained first. However, there are additional required coordinations at the Agency level and sometimes at the Center level. The initiator of the requisition is responsible for obtaining those additional coordinations. This form must be used to document additional coordinations. The completed NF 1707 and any additional special approvals or affirmations required must be electronically attached to the requisition in CF and must include the name of the approver and date approved. The contracting officer must include a hard copy in the contract file, or a link to the electronic copy. The procurement office must not accept a requisition until all required coordinations have been documented. The NF 1707 is not required for within scope actions for which special approvals and affirmations have previously been obtained. In addition, the NF 1707 is not required for grants, cooperative agreements, and space act agreements.

Who Completes the FormThe initiator of the requisition signs the form affirming that the coordinations have been completed.

Who Approves the Form The following individuals, as appropriate, sign the form as "Approver":

For requirements defined as "Critical and Complex" per NPD 8730.5:

Not exceeding $250K - End User's Branch ChiefOver $250K and not exceeding $2M - End User's Division ChiefExceeding $2M - End User's Directorate Head For all other requirements:

B. DETAILED INSTRUCTIONS

Section 1 - NASA STRATEGIC SOURCING INITIATIVEThe requestor shall check the appropriate block to indicate that a review of the NASA strategic sourcing contract database available on the Office of Procurement Strategic Sourcing website has been performed. The requestor shall indicate that the requirement IS AVAILABLE through the NASA Strategic Sourcing Initiative and provide the mandatory source contract number. If the review finds that the requirement IS NOT AVAILABLE through the NASA strategic Sourcing Initiative, then supporting documentation e.g., memorandum needs to be attached which indicates why the requirement cannot be met utilizing a mandatory source contract.

Section 2 - INFORMATION SYSTEMS AND ELECTRONIC AND INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY ACCESSIBILITYThere are four subsections. In the first subsection, the requestor shall check the appropriate block to indicate if the procurement is for information systems or services involving information systems. NASA will include all commodity IT (Hardware and Software), ground systems, mission control centers and data centers. Onboard flight avionics and flight software that are a non-severable and an integral part of the flight system are not considered IT for the purpose of OMB IT budget reporting. However, such avionics/software are included within the cyber security portfolio. Defining a device/service as IT does not exclude its’ classification as an R&D or engineering device/services. If it is, the cognizant Center Chief Information Officer (CIO) will determine if the purchase has a System Security Plan (SSP) that includes a FIPS-199 for a moderate- or high-impact information system, as defined by the National Institute of Standard and Technology (NIST). The CIO will check the box recommending the appropriate NFS security clauses based on the level of access the contractor will have to the system and the SSP requirements.

In the second subsection, INTERNET PROTOCOL VERSION SIX (IPv6), the requestor shall check the appropriate block to indicate if the procurement is for information technology (IT) items that can use Internet Protocol to communicate. The requestor shall specify IPv6 requirements, provide them to the vendor and obtain the vendor's Suppliers Declaration of Conformity (SDOC) for the specific item being purchased. The requestor shall compare the IPv6 requirements to the capabilities captured in the SDOC, provide the necessary IPv6 requirements analysis and indicate whether it is prudent to proceed with purchasing this item if any IPv6 deficiencies have been identified in the item. Requestors shall provide the IPv6 Compliance Procurement Waiver (NF 1835) for any items that have no IPv6 capabilities. For purchases under $100K, such waivers shall be signed by the Center CIO. Purchases valued at or above $100K shall require waivers to be signed by the agency CIO. For further guidance, please review the NASA IPv6 Compliance Users Guide on NASA's internal IPv6 websites: http://inside.nasa.gov/ocio/content/nasa-ipv6.

In the third subsection, the requestor must check the appropriate block to indicate if the procurement is for software and/or maintenance acquisition. The requestor must indicate coordination with the Center CIO and the ELMT Program Office on the acquisition and authorization to acquire any software licenses or software maintenance outside of the ELMT program, if applicable.

In the fourth subsection the requestor must check the appropriate block to indicate if the PR is for information and communication technology (ICT) items. If the PR is to acquire ICT, the requestor must check the appropriate boxes to indicate if the item meets accessibility standards. If an accessible item is not available, or if the item is exempt from the standards, additional documentation is required.

First subsection - GRC Code VR, Risk Management and Security Office Second subsection - GRC Code VM, Mission Support Office Third subsection - GRC Code VG, Integration Office Fourth subsection - GRC Code VE, Information and Applications Office Section 3 - ENVIRONMENTAL / SUSTAINABLE ACQUISITIONThe requestor must search a Government-wide website of environmental programs to determine if one or more of these program requirements apply to the procurement, if the procurement acquires the product directly or if a contractor will acquire the product in performance of the contract. If the product will be procured, the requestor must indicate if the procurement specification includes the environmentally preferred product or if a waiver or other required documentation is attached.

Questions/Coordination: GRC Code FE, Environmental Management Office Section 4 - SERVICE CONTRACTINGIf the procurement is to acquire services, the requestor must check the appropriate boxes to indicate the services will comply with Federal requirements.

Section 5 - TECHNICAL APPROVALThere are six subsections to this section. For all subsections, the requestor shall coordinate with the program or project technical authority. For the first subsection, if the purchase request (PR) is for space flight or ground support programs, the requestor shall check the appropriate box to affirm that the most recent specifications are cited, or a waiver is attached.
