Subpart 18-1.1-Introduction

§ 18-1.100 Scope of subpart.

This subpart sets forth introductory information pertaining to the purpose, applicability, and content of this chapter. § 18-1.101 Purpose of this chapter.

This chapter, issued by the Director of Procurement under authority delegated by the Administrator, establishes for the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) uniform policies and procedures relating to the procurement of property and services under the authority of the National Aeronautics and Space Act of 1958, as amended (Public Law 85-568; 42 U.S.C. 2451 et seq.), Chapter 137, Title 10, of the United States Code, or other statutory authority. § 18-1.102 Applicability.

This chapter applies to all purchases and contracts made by NASA, within or outside the United States, for the procurement of property or services which obligate appropriated funds, unless otherwise specified herein.

§ 18-1.103 Arrangement of chapter.

This chapter is divided into parts, each one of which covers a separate aspect of procurement; and each part is further subdivided into subparts, sections, and paragraphs.

§ 18-1.107 Dissemination and effective date of this chapter and revisions. (a) The NASA Procurement Regulation, and Revisions thereof, will be distributed directly to NASA installations by the U.S. Government Printing Office. The number of copies of the Regulation, and Revisions thereof, will be distributed on the basis of the requirements furnished by each Headquarters Staff Office, Headquarters Program Office, and NASA field installation, to the Office of Procurement, NASA Headquarters (Code KDP).

(b) Heads of field installations will ensure that copies of the NASA Procurement Regulation are distributed to all

interested NASA activities and individuals within their installation.

(c) Copies of the NASA Procurement Regulation, and Revisions thereof, may be purchased by private concerns and individuals from the Superintendent of Documents, U.S. Government Printing Office, Washington, D.C. 20402.

(d) Compliance with a revision of this Chapter 18 shall be permissive effective with the date of issuance thereof, and shall be mandatory effective 60 days thereafter, except (1) as may be otherwise prescribed in the revision, and (2) that procurements initiated after receipt of new or revised clauses should, to the maximum practicable extent, include such clauses prior to the mandatory date.

(e) Unless otherwise stated, invitations for bids which have been issued and bilateral agreements upon which negotiations have been completed prior to the receipt of new or revised contract clauses need not be amended to include the new or revised clauses if such amendment would unduly delay the procurement action.

§ 18-1.109 Deviations and other procurement publications.

§ 18-1.109-1 Applicability.

A deviation shall be considered to be any of the following:

(a) When a prescribed contract clause is set forth verbatim in NASA procurement regulations, use of a contract clause or a schedule provision covering the same subject matter which varies from, or has the effect of altering, the prescribed NASA clause, or changing its application;

(b) When a Standard, NASA, or other form is prescribed by NASA procurement regulations, use of any other form for the same purpose;

(c) Alteration of a Standard or NASA form except as authorized by NASA procurement regulations;

(d) When limitations are imposed by NASA procurement regulations upon the use of a contract clause, form, procedure, type of contract, or any other procurement action, the imposition of lesser or greater limitations; or

(e) When a policy, procedure, method or practice of conducting procurement actions is prescribed in NASA procurement regulations, any policy, procedure, method or practice inconsistent therewith.
