208.7100 Authorization.
NASA is authorized by Pub.
L. 85-568 to use the acquisition services, personnel, equipment, and facilities
of DoD departments and agencies with their consent, with or without
reimbursement, and on a similar basis to cooperate with the departments/ agencies
in the use of acquisition services, equipment, and facilities.
208.7101 Policy.
Departments and agencies
will—
(a) Cooperate fully
with NASA in making acquisition services, equipment, personnel, and facilities
available on the basis of mutual agreement.
(b) Not claim
reimbursement for administrative costs incident to acquisitions for NASA,
unless agreed otherwise prior to the time services are performed.
208.7102 Procedures.
(a) When contracting or
performing field service functions for NASA, the departments and agencies will
use their own methods, except when otherwise required by the terms of the
agreement.
(b) Departments and
agencies normally will use their own funds when contracting for or performing
services for NASA and will not cite NASA funds on any defense obligation or
payment document.
208.7103 Purchase request and
acceptance.
(a) NASA will use NASA
Form 523, NASA-Defense Purchase Request, to request acquisition of supplies or
services.
(b) Except as provided
in paragraph (d) of this section, departments and agencies will respond within
30 days to a NASA purchase request by forwarding DD Form 448-2, Acceptance of
MIPR. Forward each DD Form 448-2 in
quadruplicate and indicate action status as well as the name and address of the
DoD acquisition activity for future use by the NASA initiator.
(c) To the extent
feasible, all documents related to the NASA action will reference the
NASA-Defense Purchase Request number and the item number when appropriate.
(d) Departments and
agencies are not required to accept NASA-Defense Purchase Requests for
common-use standard stock items which the supplying department has on hand or
on order for prompt delivery at published prices.
208.7104 Changes in estimated total prices.
When a department or agency
determines that the estimated total price (Block 6F, NASA Form 523) for NASA
items is not sufficient to cover the required reimbursement, or is in excess of
the amount required, the department/agency will forward a request for amendment
to the NASA originating office.
Indicate in the request a specific dollar amount, rather than a percentage,
and include justification for any upward adjustment requested. Upon approval of a request, NASA will
forward an amendment of its purchase request to the contracting activity.
208.7105 Payments.
Departments and agencies will submit SF 1080, Voucher for Transferring Funds, billings to the NASA office designated in Block 9 of the NASA-Defense Purchase Request, except where agreements provide that reimbursement is not required. Departments and agencies will support billings in the same manner as billings between departments and agencies.
