(2) The Contractor shall mail the original signed NF 1018 directly to the cognizant NASA Center Industrial Property Officer and a copy to the cognizant NASA Center Deputy Chief Financial Officer, Finance, unless the Contractor uses the NF 1018 Electronic Submission System (NESS) for report preparation and submission.

(3) One copy shall be submitted (through the Department of Defense (DOD) Property Administrator if contract administration has been delegated to DOD) to the following address:

Goddard Space Flight Center, Supply and Equipment Management Branch, Code 273, Greenbelt, MD 20771, unless the Contractor uses the NF 1018 Electronic Submission System (NESS) for report preparation and submission.

(c)(1) The annual reporting period shall be from October 1 of each year through September 30 of the following year. The report shall be submitted in time to be received by October 31st. The information contained in these reports is entered into the NASA accounting system to reflect current asset values for agency financial statement purposes. Therefore, it is essential that required reports be received no later than October 31st.

(2) Some activity may be estimated for the month in which the report is submitted, if necessary, to ensure the NF 1018 is received when due.

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 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.

(3) In addition to an annual report, if at any time during performance of the contract, NASA-owned property in the custody of the contractor has a value of $10 million or more, the contractor shall also submit a report no later than the 21st of each month in accordance with the requirements of paragraph (c)(2) of this clause.

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.

G.14 ORDERING PROCEDURES

In accordance with FAR Subpart 16.505(b)(1), the Contracting Officer (CO) will give each NSN Services Contractor within a category a “fair opportunity to be considered” for each order in excess of the Simplified Acquisition Threshold, unless one of the conditions in 16.505(b)(2) applies. Procedures and selection factors to be considered for each Task Order (TO) providing for a “fair opportunity to be considered” are set forth below. The CO decision to issue a TO to a particular contract holder shall be based on the criteria stated below.

The Government reserves the right to issue a Request For Offer (RFO) for the delivery of the requirements under the NSN Services contract. The Government plans to issue task order awards without holding discussions with the Offerors. Therefore, the Offeror’s initial offer should contain the Offeror’s best terms. The Government reserves the right to conduct discussions if the Contracting Officer later determines them to be necessary.

Each task order solicitation will be a Request for Offer (RFO) and does not constitute authority to proceed or to incur any cost associated with contract performance. No legal liability shall reside on the part of the Government for any amount until a task order is signed by the Contracting Officer.

The following procedures define the process by which (a) Task Orders will be competed and (b) Task Orders will be awarded.

(a) Task Order Competition Procedures:

RFO Contents: When Contractor submission of proposals is necessary, the Government will issue an RFO.

(1) Each RFO will include the following information:

• Date of the RFO;

• Description, Task Order Statement of Work, and other documentation upon which the Task Order price is to be based;

• Delivery or performance date(s);

• Government Furnished Equipment, if applicable;

• Use of NASA facilities, if applicable;

• Specific instructions and the evaluation criteria that will be utilized for award of the Task Order and specific instructions regarding the level of detail contractors shall include in its offer for the Task Order.

• Funding profile, if applicable; and

• Due date for submission of Offer.

(2) Each RFO will require the following information be submitted:

(A) Past Performance

Each RFO may require specific Past Performance to be requested for the purpose of evaluating Past Performance.

(B) Small Business Subcontracting Plan

This applies ONLY to large businesses. (Applicable if the subcontracting possibilities are expected to exceed the threshold establish under FAR 19.702(a)(1), unless the contract, together with all of its subcontracts, will be performed entirely outside of the United States and its outlying areas.)

The contract includes FAR clause 52.219-9, “Small Business Subcontracting Plan and its Alternate II”. A Small Business Subcontracting Plan is not required at the Master Contract level. However, the following small business subcontracting goals have been established for Task Orders with a value of greater than $50M.

Small Disadvantaged Business 2.6% Women Owned 2.0% HUBZone 0.4% Veteran-Owned 1.3% Service-Disabled Veteran Owned 0.9%

Total Small Business

12.8%

(NOTE: FOR PURPOSES OF THE SUBCONTRACTING PLAN, THE PROPOSED

GOALS MUST BE STATED AS A PERCENT OF TOTAL SUBCONTRACTS, NOT

AS A PERCENT OF TASK ORDER VALUE)

These goals will be applicable to Task Orders awarded under the NSN Services contracts with a value of $50M or above. The contractor is encouraged to propose goals that are equivalent or greater than those recommended by the Contracting Officer. However, contractors should perform an independent assessment. The goals included in the submitted Subcontracting Plan for the Task Orders may be higher, lower, or the same as the goals stated above, depending upon the contractor’s independent assessment.

With regard to any goals stated above, contractors are advised that a proposal will not be rejected solely because the submitted Plan does not meet the NASA recommended goals.

For Task Orders with a value of between $750K to $50M, contractors will be required to submit a small business subcontracting plan with their own recommended goals based on their own independent assessment. The goals included in the submitted Subcontracting .Plan for the Task Orders may be higher, lower, or the same as the goals stated above, depending upon the contractor’s independent assessment.

(NOTE: FOR PURPOSES OF THE SUBCONTRACTING PLAN, THE PROPOSED

GOALS MUST BE STATED AS A PERCENT OF TOTAL SUBCONTRACTS, NOT

AS A PERCENT OF TASK ORDER VALUE)

(C) Government Property

The contract contains NASA FAR Supplement (NSF) provisions 1852.245-80, “Government Property Management Information” and 1852.245-81, “List of Available Government Property.” The first provision requires the submittal of certain information regarding the contractor’s Government property management procedures.
