Instructions for Special Approvals and Affirmations of Requisitions

A. GENERAL INFORMATION

Purpose NASA 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 1707 The 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 Form The initiator of the requisition signs the form affirming that the coordinations have been completed.

B. DETAILED INSTRUCTIONS

Section 1 - NASA STRATEGIC SOURCING INITIATIVE The 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 ACCESSIBILITY There 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.

Section 3 - ENVIRONMENTAL / SUSTAINABLE ACQUISITION The requestor must search the Green Procurement Compilation (GPC) to identify any green/sustainable good or service that meets NASA’s needs for this procurement. This applies whether the good or service is supplied either directly by the prime contractor or via subcontractor. Also, with the exception of the GPC, all links in Section 3 of this form are to descriptions of the programs involved rather than the main product/service searches):

Subsection I.A – Check this if the GPC does not indicate any good or service that will meet NASA’s needs for this procurement, then skip directly to subsection III (described below);

Subsection I.B – Check all applicable boxes here if the GPC does indicate a good or service that will meet NASA’s needs;

Subsection II – Check this if the GPC indicates goods or services that might otherwise meet NASA’s needs but for the issues described in the attached waiver. Also check whether the waiver is fully approved (all necessary signatures obtained), or needs at least the CO’s signature for final approval;

Subsection III (NEPA) -- Contact the Center NEPA Manager (CNM) for assistance in answering this question. Then check whether:

• No environmental impacts were identified; or

• All the environmental requirements and NEPA requirements identified were properly addressed.

For the second subsection, the requestor shall check the appropriate box to indicate if the PR is related to space communication and navigation capabilities. If it is, then the requestor shall affirm that the PR has been coordinated with Human Exploration and Operations Mission Directorate (HEOMD). For the third subsection the requestor shall check the appropriate boxes to indicate if the acquisition will require utilization of Earned Value Management System (EVMS) requirements, and if any exceptions apply. Exceptions will require approval by the Center EVM Point of Contact. For the fourth subsection, the requestor shall check the appropriate box to affirm that the acquisition will or will not involve the design, preparation or creation of communications material. For the fifth subsection the requestor shall check the appropriate box to affirm that the requisite Center Flight Operations Office has provided concurrence as listed in NPR 7900.3 or that it is not applicable. For the sixth subsection the requestor must indicate if the procurement is subject to the software engineering requirements specified in NPR 7150.2, NASA Software Engineering Requirements.
