NPD/NPR 4500 (The NASA Manual) DoD Changes and The Impact on NASA Latest FAR Change Space Shuttle Closeout “What’s going on in DC” NESS
4
Purpose – Provide Guidance to NASA Personnel Fill in the gaps in DoD guidance related to NASA Provide a partial replacement for DoD 4161.2M Address NASA specific requirements Internal and external NASA delegations Financial and other reporting requirements Assure NASA CFO that we are providing adequate attention to management controls Goal of establishing the PMSA as a “Performance Audit” Better defining testing requirements and methods in audits Assuring, at minimum, existence and completeness testing
5
Content - 8 Chapters Full range of Property Administration Activities Chapter 1, General – Defines objective, scope, Provides authorities, Defines responsibilities for NASA personnel Establishes a deviation process
6
Chapter 2, Pre-award Processes – Speaks to procurement support, solicitation reviews Provides specific guidance for administration of contracts for contractors operating in and out of NASA installations/facilities Addresses the use of VCS, ILPS, Customary Commercial Practice, and existing procedures and systems in proposals Speaks to level of review Considers past performance
7
Chapter 3 – Delegation Off-site delegation requirements Provides policy regarding off-site delegations Requires use of NESS to maintain delegation recordkeeping Retention of On-Site PA Requires that on-site Property Administration be performed by a NASA PA Links contractor performance evaluations to PA/IPO findings Addresses CO retention of Property Administration Requires that CO perform all PA activities, including Plant Clearance and PMSAs
8
Chapter 4 – NASA Property Administration Requirements Transfer requirements To and from contractors Between contracts Addresses COTR involvement Use of clauses Recordkeeping requirements Loss Management Administration of reports Actions related to decisions to hold responsible
9
Chapter 5 – Property Management System Audit Establishes purpose of audit Relates audits and audit schedules to risk Provides guidance on sampling and testing for all outcomes and segments of a property system Speaks to the applicability of self assessments Addresses anomalies vice systemic deficiencies Sets documentation/recordkeeping requirements Addresses contact with contractor via entrance and exit conferences
10
Chapter 6 – Reporting Financial reporting NF1018 NESS PA/IPO/IPMS responsibilities Metrics Solicitation/Proposed System Review ratios High Risk Contractor/PMSA performance ratio Overall contract base/PMSA performance ratio Unresolved findings
11
Chapter 7 – Special Contract Situations Progress Payments Contracts SBIR Contracts Storage of property During a contract when reported by contractor as excess After contract completion Major program property administration Foreign contracts On-site contractors Other Instruments Space Act Agreements CRADAs
12
Chapter 8 – Contractor Inventory Disposition Plant Clearance Delegation Contractor disposition costs Retention of disposition for on-site contractors CO retention of plant clearance Abandonment determination process IPO oversight Coordination of PA and PLCO activities Onsite disposition Delegated Plant Clearance Actions/Reports/PCARSS Exchange/Sale
13
Status Completed internal review at IPO level In the hands of the editors Will have to proceed through NODIS (internal NASA system) reviews Bottom line, probably still a year away
15
DFARs change related to business system administration Change affecting NASA Removes authority of PA to provide pass/fail recommendation on contractor property systems Retains that authority for ACO at DoD Uses DoD systems to report deficiencies and require corrective actions (CAR) Positive Raises Property Management to the same level as other business systems
16
NASA Situation Problem NASA Contract Administrators not familiar with property IPO interface will be required EWAM will have to be available to all IPOs Solution Revision to PA Delegation instructions Lay out differences between DoD and NASA requirements Request that DoD Documentation will be forwarded to NASA Expect PA statement on whether systems meet or do not meet contract requirements (specifically those in FAR 52.245-1(f)) Retains other PA related requirements
18
Defines “ loss” as inclusive of LDD&T throughout FAR Changes Part 45 scope to incorporate IAGP concept Redefines “Acquisition Cost” as “Unit Acquisition Cost” Removes adequate/inadequate language and replaces with compliant or noncompliant with contract requirements Limits use of FAR 52.245-2 to fixed price contracts Incorporates “ customary commercial practices ” with VCS and ILPS language Restates and clarifies loss reporting requirements
19
Addresses requirements for abandonment/destruction determinations Follows Government priorities for disposition when abandonment/destruction is not appropriate Agency reuse Federal Reuse Donation to eligible recipients Sale Defines production scrap and reduces its reporting requirements Encourages Exchange/Sale processes
21
Property to be “transitioned” by March 2013 Many items reserved for future NASA work Used in relation to Space Act Agreements Used in support of Commercial Space Launch Agreements Used to support SLS Program
22
Artifact working group 13 offerings of property internal and external Screened over 32,000 items of property Reutilized over 3,000 items within NASA public affairs programs, by donation to schools and museums http://gsaxcess.gov/NASAWel.htm http://gsaxcess.gov/NASAWel.htm
23
Shuttle delivery Discovery delivered to NASM Enterprise delivered to Intrepid Museum Endeavor scheduled to be delivered to California Science Center later this year Atlantis moved to the KSC Visitor’s Center later this year, opening next year Related Major Items Shuttle Display formerly at KSC Visitor’s Center to JSC Model of external tank from JSC moving to Wings of Dreams Museum
24
Electronic stewardship Will affect disposal of just about everything NASA working with UNICOR to address e- stewardship at most locations Data – data – data Proper methods for destruction of data on storage devices still in play with NASA CIO. Could affect disposal of just about everything New standards from NIST recently released Driving change from our CIO to their draft regulations Most NASA data storage devices must be destroyed
26
Working on an email submission program Will allow contractors to submit the 1018 form via email Will not require IDMAX access Planned for 2013 reporting period IDMAX/NAMS implementation on hold until “Federal Bridge” in effect at NASA DCMA/ONR need not have NASA IDMAX Access Contractors not required to have NASA IDMAX Access
