Some activity may be estimated for the month of September, if necessary, to ensure the NF 1018 is received when due. However, contractors' procedures must document the process for developing these estimates based on planned activity such as planned purchases or NASA Form 533 (NF 533 Contractor Financial Management Report) cost estimates. It should be supported and documented by historical experience or other corroborating evidence, and be retained in accordance with FAR Subpart 4.7, Contractor Records Retention. Contractors shall validate the reasonableness of the estimates and associated methodology by comparing them to the actual activity once that data is available, and adjust them accordingly. In addition, differences between the estimated cost and actual cost must be adjusted during the next reporting period. Contractors shall have formal policies and procedures, which address the validation of NF 1018 data, including data from subcontractors, and the identification and timely reporting of errors. The objective of this validation is to ensure that information reported is accurate and in compliance with the NASA FAR Supplement. If errors are discovered on NF 1018 after submission, the contractor shall contact the cognizant NASA Center Industrial Property Officer (IPO) within 30 days after discovery of the error to discuss corrective action.

(2) The Contracting Officer may, in NASA's interest, withhold payment until a reserve not exceeding $25,000 or 5 percent of the amount of the contract, whichever is less, has been set aside, if the Contractor fails to submit annual NF 1018 reports in accordance with NFS subpart 1845.71 and any supplemental instructions for the current reporting period issued by NASA. Such reserve shall be withheld until the Contracting Officer has determined that NASA has received the required reports. The withholding of any amount or the subsequent payment thereof shall not be construed as a waiver of any Government right.

(d) A final report shall be submitted within 30 days after disposition of all property subject to reporting when the contract performance period is complete in accordance with paragraph (b)(1) through (3) of this clause.

GRC 52.245-100 Capital Asset Acquisition (SEP 2009)

The following contract line items have been designated by NASA as capital assets*:

Line Item No. Description Quantity Unit Price Total Price

*A capital asset is an item: 1) With a total acquisition cost of $100,000 or more, 2) With a useful life of 2 years or more, 3) Not intended for sale in the contractor’s ordinary course of operations, 4) Acquired and/or fabricated by the contractor and to which NASA will or intends to take title, and 5) With an alternative future use (not research and development related). (Note: Items and/or services with values less than $100,000 that contribute to the acquisition or increased value of a capital asset (e.g. surveys for real property or components for capital equipment) are also subject to capitalization rules. Generally, NASA will inform the contractor if such items and/or services are classified as capital assets.)

During contract performance, if the contractor determines a need to acquire or fabricate items that may meet the criteria for capital assets beyond those specified above, the contractor shall submit a written request for approval to the contracting officer. Based on internal review, if the items are determined necessary for contract performance and determined to be capital assets, the contracting officer will modify the contract to: 1) Add separate line items to the contract appropriately, and 2) reference those items in paragraph (A) of this clause.

If NASA Contractor Financial Management Reports (NASA Form (NF) 533’s) are required under this contract, the contractor shall report all costs incurred against each identified capital asset on its own report page on the NF 533’s.

The costs incurred for each item designated as a capital asset shall be identified separately on any invoice, voucher, progress payment request, or other authorized payment request submitted by the contractor under this contract.

*A capital asset is an item: 1) With a total acquisition cost of $100,000 or more, 2) With a useful life of 2 years or more, 3) Not intended for sale in the contractor’s ordinary course of operations, 4) Acquired and/or fabricated by the contractor and to which NASA will or intends to take title, and 5) With an alternative future use (not research and development related).

Generally, NASA will inform the contractor if such items and/or services are classified as capital assets.)

During contract performance, if the contractor determines a need to acquire or fabricate an item that may meet the criteria for capital asset, the contractor shall submit a written request for approval to the contracting officer. Based on internal review, if the item is determined necessary for contract performance and determined to be a capital asset, the contracting officer will either: 1) Issue a new task/delivery order for the capital asset, or 2) Modify an appropriate existing task/delivery order to add a separate line item for the capital asset.

If NASA Contractor Financial Management Reports (NASA Form (NF) 533’s) are required under this contract, the contractor shall report all costs incurred against each identified capital asset on its own report page on the NF 533’s.
