This report presents summary data on all NASA procurement actions and detailed information on contracts, grants, agreements and other procurements over $25,000 awarded by NASA during Fiscal Year 1988.
The dollar value on procurements over $25,000 amounted to 97 percent of the total dollar value of procurement actions completed during Fiscal Year 1988. However, these larger procurements
accounted for only 22 percent of the total actions.
Procurement action, as used in this report, means contractual actions to obtain supplies, services or construction which increase or decrease funds. A procurement action thus may be a new procurement, or modifications such as supplemental agreements, change orders, or terminations to a contract that change the total amount of funds obligated. An obligation is a contractual commitment to pay for supplies or services that are specified in the contract.
