Subpart 1852.1--Instructions for Using Provisions and Clauses

1852.101 Using Part 52.
  (b)(2)(i)(B) NASA contracting offices prescribing or developing clauses shall ensure that the requirements of Subpart 1801.3 are met.

  (e)(1) The NFS matrix in Subpart 1852.3 is formatted similarly to that in the FAR.  The first page of the NFS matrix contains a key to column headings, a dollar threshold chart, and requirement symbols.  To fully determine the applicability of a provision or clause in the "required-when-applicable" and "optional" categories, Contracting Officers shall refer to the NFS text (cited in the matrix) that prescribes its use.
       (4) The NFS matrix may be reproduced by field installations for the purpose of supplementing it with installation-developed provisions and clauses.

1852.103 Identification of provisions and clauses.
  (b) Provisions and clauses prescribed by a field installation to satisfy its needs shall be identified as stated in paragraphs (b)(i) and (ii) of this section.  Articles, formats, and similar language shall be treated as provisions and clauses for purposes of this section 1852.103.
      (i) A provision or clause shall be numbered using a prefix, a base, and a suffix.  The prefix shall be an alphabetical abbreviation of the installation name (e.g., ARC, DFRC, GRC, GSFC, JSC, KSC, LARC, MSFC, SSC, or SSPO).  The base shall be a numeric value beginning with "52.2," with the next two digits corresponding to the number of the FAR or NFS subject part to which the provision or clause relates.  The suffix shall be a hyphen and sequential number assigned within each part.  NASA installations shall use suffix numbers from -90 to -199.  For example, the first Johnson Space Center (JSC) provision or clause relating to Part 36 of the FAR or NFS shall be JSC 52.236-90, the second JSC 52.236-91, and so forth.  Provisions and clauses shall be dated in accordance with FAR 52.101(f).

   As prescribed by 1835.070(d)(1), insert the following as paragraph (e) of the basic clause:

   (e) The data resulting from this research activity is "fundamental research" which will be broadly shared within the scientific community.  No foreign national access or dissemination restrictions apply to this research activity.   The Contractor may publish, release, or otherwise disseminate data produced during the performance of this contract, including the final report, without prior review by NASA for export control or national security purposes.  However, NASA retains the right to review the final report to ensure that proprietary information, which may have been provided to the Contractor, is not released without authorization and for consistency with NASA publication standards.  Additionally, the Contractor is responsible for reviewing any publication, release, or dissemination of the data for conformance with other restrictions expressly set forth in this contract, and to the extent it receives or is given access to data necessary for the performance of the contract which contain restrictive markings, for compliance with such restrictive markings.

Alternate II
(FEBRUARY 2003)

   As prescribed by 1835.070(d)(2), insert the following as paragraph (e) of the basic clause:

   (e) Data resulting from this research activity may be subject to export control, national security restrictions or other restrictions designated by NASA; or, to the extent the Contractor receives or is given access to data necessary for the performance of the contract which contain restrictive markings, may include proprietary information of others.  Therefore, the Contractor shall not publish, release, or otherwise disseminate, except to NASA, data produced during the performance of this contract, including data contained in the final report and any additional reports required by 1852.235-74 when included in the contract, without prior review by NASA.  Should the Contractor seek to publish, release, or otherwise disseminate data produced during the performance of this contract, the Contractor may do so once NASA has completed its document availability authorization review and the availability of the data has been determined.

   (b) Quarterly progress reports.  The Contractor shall submit separate quarterly reports of all work accomplished during each three-month period of contract performance.  In addition to factual data, these reports should include a separate analysis section interpreting the results obtained, recommending further action, and relating occurrences to the ultimate objectives of the contract.

Sufficient diagrams, sketches, curves, photographs, and drawings should be included to convey the intended meaning.

   (c) Submission dates.  Monthly and quarterly reports shall be submitted by the 15th day of the month following the month or quarter being reported.  If the contract is awarded beyond the middle of a month, the first monthly report shall cover the period from award until the end of the following month.  No monthly report need be submitted for the third month of contract effort for which a quarterly report is required.  No quarterly report need be submitted for the final three months of contract effort since that period will be covered in the final report.  The final report shall be submitted within ____days after the completion of the effort under the contract.

(End of clause)

1852.236-71 Additive or Deductive Items.
  As prescribed in 1836.570(a), insert the following provision:

ADDITIVE OR DEDUCTIVE ITEMS
(MARCH 1989)

  (a)  The low bidder for purposes of award shall be the conforming responsible bidder offering the low aggregate amount for the first or base bid item, plus or minus (in order of priority listed in the Schedule) those additive or deductive bid items providing the most features of the work within the funds determined by the Government to be available before bids are opened. If addition of another bid item in the listed order of priority would make the award exceed those funds for all bidders, it shall be skipped and the next subsequent additive bid item in a lower amount shall be added for each bid if award on it can be made within the  funds.

   (b)  An example for one bid is an amount available of $100,000, a bidder's base bid of $85,000, and four successive additives of $10,000, $8,000, $6,000, and $4,000.  In this example, the aggregate amount of the bid for purposes of award would be $99,000 for the base bid plus the first and fourth additives, the second and third additives being skipped because either of them would cause the aggregate bid to exceed $100,000.

   (c)  All bids shall be evaluated on the basis of the same additive or deductive bid items.  The listed order of priority must be followed only for determining the low bidder.  After determination of the low bidder, award in the best interests of the Government may be made to that bidder on its base bid and any combination of its additive or deductive bid items for which funds are determined to be available at the time of the award, provided that award of the combination of bid items does not exceed the amount offered by any other conforming responsible bidder for the same combination of bid items.

(End of provision)

1852.236-72 Bids with Unit Prices.
  As prescribed in 1836.570(b), insert the following provision:

BIDS WITH UNIT PRICES
(MARCH 1989)

   (a)   All extensions of the unit prices bid will be subject to verification by the Government.  If there is  variation between the unit price and any extended amounts, the unit price will be considered to be the bid.

   (b)   If a modification to a bid based on unit prices that provides for a lump-sum adjustment to the total estimated cost is submitted, the application of the lump sum adjustment to each unit
