REQUIREMENTS –As a minimum, EVM principles, as defined by ANSI/EIA Standard- 748, Earned Value Management Systems, will be applied if the project’s life-cycle cost is at or greater than $20M. –For projects where the primary NASA Center has a fully validated Earned Value Management System (EVMS), the project will use that system rather than EVM principles. –For contracts and subcontracts, application of an EVMS is required as follows: For development or production (including flight and ground support) contracts and subcontracts valued at $20M or more, the contractor EVMS must comply with the guidelines in ANSI/EIA Standard-748. For development or production (including flight and ground support) contracts and subcontracts valued at $50M or more, the contractor EVMS must be formally validated and accepted by the contracting officer. EVM is not required for grants, or contracts of less than 12 months duration, non-developmental level-of-effort engineering support services, steady-state operations, basic and applied research, and routine services, however, application is at the discretion of the program/project manager. –HIGH RISK/VISIBLE PROJECTS-DISCRETION OF PM
