NASA Form 533 (NF533) Reports
The NASA Form 533 (NF533) reports provide data necessary for the following:
1. Projecting costs and hours to ensure that dollar and labor resources realistically support project and program schedules.
2. Evaluating contractors' actual cost and fee data in relation to negotiated contract value, estimated costs, and budget forecast data.
3. Planning, monitoring, and controlling project and program resources.
4. Accruing cost in NASA's accounting system, providing program and functional management information, and resulting in liabilities reflected on the financial statements.
Cost is a financial measurement of resources used in accomplishing a specified purpose, such as performing a service, carrying out an activity, acquiring an asset, or completing a unit of work or project. NASA Procedural Requirements (NPR) 9501.2E entitled “NASA Contractor Financial Management Reporting,” or its most current revision, identifies the cost reporting requirements for a contract. An NF533 format is provided in Appendix A.
NASA is required by law to maintain accrual accounting, which requires cost to be reported in the period in which benefits are received, without regard to time of payment.
The reports (NF533M [Monthly] and NF533Q [Quarterly]) are the official cost documents used at
NASA for cost type, price determination, and Fixed Price Incentive contracts. The data contained in the reports must be auditable using Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP).
Supplemental cost reports submitted in addition to the NF533 must be reconcilable to both the
NF533M & NF533Q.
Common NF533 Cost Elements
Examples of accrual accounting for common cost elements reported on the NF533 follow:
Cost Elements Definitions
Labor Reported to NASA as hours and cost are incurred.
Equipment &
Materials
(commercial off the shelf)
Generally reported to NASA when received and accepted by the contractor.
Manufactured
Equipment
Defined as any equipment that is produced to specific requirements that make it useless to anyone else without rework. Cost should be reported to NASA as the equipment is being manufactured. The straight-line method for estimating accrued costs, or the use of supplemental information obtained from the vendor, are acceptable methods used to calculate the cost accrual amount.
DRD- (Page 3 of 8)
Leases Reported to NASA using a proration over the life of the lease.
Travel Reported to NASA as costs are incurred.
Subcontracts &
Other Direct
Costs
Actual and estimated costs reported by prime contractors shall include subcontractors' incurred costs for the same accounting period.
Where subcontract costs are material, they should be separately identified on NF533 reports. The prime contractor shall include in the total cost of each subdivision of work the accrued cost (including fee, if any) of related subcontractor effort. Subcontractors should, therefore, be required to report cost to the prime contractor, using the accrual method of accounting. If the G&A and fee reported by a subcontractor are at the total subcontractor level, these costs must be allocated to specific sub- divisions of work. Data submitted by the subcontractor should be structured similar to the prime contractor's
NF533 to enable the prime contractor to properly report to NASA. For
Firm Fixed Price subcontracts with a contract value greater than
$500,000, the prime contractor is required to document the methodology used to generate the sub-contractor costs reported and provide this information to the NASA Contracting Officer and Center
Deputy Chief Financial Officer of Finance.
Unfilled Orders Reported as the difference between the cumulative cost incurred to date and amounts obligated to suppliers and subcontractors.
Fee Fee should be reported on the NF533 following the "Total Cost" line.
Award fee must be reported by the following categories: Base Fee, Fee Earned, Interim Fee, Provisional Fee, Potential Additional Fee, and Total Fee. If any of the above fee categories do not pertain, they should not be included in the NF533.
Prompt Payment
Discounts
Cumulative cost reported to NASA should be the full incurred cost.
The prompt payment discount amount taken should be reported as a separate line item on the NF533 below the cumulative cost amounts for the contract.

Reporting Category level Used by NASA’s accounting system to determine the RC level
Reporting Category
Identifier
Identifies if the RC is an actual Reporting Category or a Sub-
Reporting Category
A Reporting Category (RC) correlates to a task order, delivery order, or Work Breakdown
Structure (WBS) and is the level at which cost is reported. Each RC can have Sub-Reporting
Category line items (detailed cost elements) that add up to a RC. The Contractor is required to coordinate with the NASA Resource Analyst assigned to the contract in order to establish and maintain the Reporting Categories the contractor shall use to comply with this data requirement.
Column 7b (planned cost incurred/hours worked for the month) and 7d (cumulative planned cost incurred/hours worked) of the NF533M represent the negotiated baseline plan for the contract.
There may not be a relationship between the estimates provided in columns 8 of the NF533M to columns 7b and 7d. Columns 7b and 7d represent the legally binding contract negotiated baseline plan plus all authorized changes.
Uncompensated overtime hours worked should be reported on NF533 reports as a separate line item or in the footnotes.
Short and long-term cost estimates, which include all data entered in columns 8 and 9a on the NF533M and NF533Q reports, shall be based on the most current and reliable information available.
Prior period cost adjustments shall be reported in column 7a and 7c of NF533M and column 7a of the NF533Q as soon as identified. In a footnote, the cost adjustment shall be delineated by government fiscal year, discuss the reasons for, the amounts of, and the time period for which the adjustment(s) relate.
Property, Plant & Equipment (PP&E) Reporting
(A.) For PP&E items the contractor plans to purchase, fabricate, or modify, the contractor shall obtain, from the JSC Finance Property Office, the NASA Capitalization/Expense determination.
DRD- (Page 6 of 8)
This determination shall be obtained by the contractor prior to any cost being incurred for the
PP&E purchase/fabrication/modification. This will help ensure appropriate 533 reporting for items identified as capital. The capitalization/expense determination governs the contractor’s cost reporting requirements associated with the PP&E.
The JSC Finance Property Office makes the capitalization/expense determination based on information provided by the NASA Project Manager. The JSC Finance Property Office acquires the information from the NASA Project Manager using the Form NF1739 Capitalization Determination Form (CDF), which is required for each asset valued at, or greater than $500K.
The JSC Finance Property Office may utilize a supplemental questionnaire and/or additional communication with the project manager, or their associates, to ensure adequate information is obtained to make the appropriate accounting treatment determination (i.e., to Capitalize or Expense the asset).
(B) For PP&E purchased, fabricated or modified, and determined by the JSC Finance Property Office to be Capital, the contractor shall:
1. Report the costs of each capital asset (i.e., each individual end item deliverable) as a separate reporting category on the NF 533 or other required cost reporting format.
2. Maintain a reporting structure that allows for the contractor’s accumulation and reporting of cost separately for each identified capital asset (i.e., each individual end item deliverable).
(C) For PP&E purchased, fabricated or modified, and determined by the JSC Finance Property
Office to be Expensed (Non-Capital), the contractor is not required to report costs at the detail asset level (i.e., as a separate reporting category on the NF 533 or other required cost reporting format).
NF533 Due Dates
The due dates for the NF533M and NF533Q reports are outlined in Chapter 3 of NPR 9501.2E.
The following is a summary of the NF533 due date requirements:
NF533 Report Due Date
NF533M Due no later than the 10th working day following the close of the contractor’s accounting period or the 15th calendar day of the month, whichever is earlier.
NF533Q Due no later than the 15th calendar day of the month preceding the quarter being reported.
The due dates reflect the date the NF533 reports are received by personnel on the distribution list, not the date the reports are generated or mailed by the contractor. It is critical that the NF533 reports are submitted in a timely manner to ensure adequate time for NASA to analyze and record the cost into the NASA accounting system.
DRD- (Page 7 of 8)
An initial NF533 report is required in the NF533Q format to be used as a baseline for the life of the contract. The initial (baseline) NF533Q report shall be submitted by the contractor within 30 days after authorization to proceed has been granted. The initial NF533 requirement cannot be waived. The initial report shall reflect the original contract value detailed by negotiated reporting categories and shall be the original contract baseline plan. In addition to the initial (baseline) report, monthly NF533 reporting shall begin no later than 30 days after the incurrence of cost.
NF533 Final Submission Upon Contract Completion
Monthly NF533 reporting is no longer required once the contract is physically complete, provided the final cost report includes actual cost only (no estimates or forecasts). The contractor must continue to submit monthly NF533 reports as long as estimates for the following period are included. If the final cost of a contract changes after the submission of the "final" contractor cost report, the contractor must submit a revised NF533 report in the month the cost change is recognized.
Electronic NF533 Flat File Requirement
(Flat file will only be submitted if requested during the course of the contract)
If requested by NASA, the contractor shall submit a Flat File NF533M electronically by the same due date. The data shall be submitted via email using the Government prescribed flat file format (if requested, an example of the Agency Defined File Format layout details will be provided by NASA).
NF533 Report Distribution
