INTRODUCTION

NASA depends upon the private sector -- industry, educational institutions and other nonprofit organizations -- for the greater part of its research needs. Therefore, NASA encourages the submission of unique and innovative unsolicited proposals which will further the Agency's mission.

This document provides guidelines for the preparation of formal unsolicited proposals to those who wish to convey their creative methods or approaches to NASA. These guidelines apply to all unsolicited proposals regardless of the NASA Installation or Agency program for which they are intended, but do not apply to solicited proposals.

At the end of this document, information is provided which gives insight into NASA's specific current and anticipated research goals, and science or engineering topics that may be of interest to NASA. It should be noted that projects toward the research end of the spectrum rather than supplies or services are generally most suited to the unsolicited proposal approach.

POLICY

NASA will foster and encourage the submission of unsolicited proposals relevant to Agency mission requirements. All unsolicited proposals will receive equitable handling and review. Contact between the Proposer and NASA technical personnel is encouraged before an extensive effort is expended in preparing a detailed proposal. This preliminary contact allows the Proposer to find out what kind of work is currently being done in a particular field, if the work proposed is sufficiently related to current NASA mission goals to warrant a formal submission, the level of funding support currently being expended in that field, and whether NASA has any interest in the type of work being proposed. Such discussions, which convey to the potential Proposer an understanding of the Agency mission and needs relative to the type of effort contemplated, do not jeopardize the unsolicited status of any subsequently submitted proposal.

Correspondence of this nature is handled directly between the interested individual or organization and the appropriate NASA office. (See the Appendix, which identifies the current technical organizations' research areas within NASA.) This approach is to the Proposer's advantage, as experience has demonstrated that abbreviated submissions rarely contain sufficient information to adequately communicate the potential merits of a contemplated project.

DEFINING AN UNSOLICITED PROPOSAL

An unsolicited proposal is a written proposal that is submitted to an agency on the initiative of the submitter for the purpose of obtaining a contract (or other agreement) with the Government and which is not in response to a formal or informal request (other than an agency request constituting a publicized general statement of needs).

To be considered as a valid unsolicited proposal, a submission must:

RETURN TO CONTENTS

WHAT IS NOT AN UNSOLICITED PROPOSAL

A proposal that fails to meet the definition of an unsolicited proposal, or that falls under any of the seven following categories is not considered a valid unsolicited proposal:

1.  Technical correspondence that consists of a written inquiry from an individual, academic researcher, or others that should be addressed to NASA program offices, including:

2.  Proposals for known NASA requirements that can be acquired by a competitive method, such as an offer to perform ordinary tasks (e.g., provide computer facilities or services) or that resemble a current or pending formal NASA solicitation.

3.  Proposals for commercial items that are usually sold to the general public.

4.  Advertising material designed to acquaint the Government with a prospective contractor's present products or potential capabilities.

5.  Contributions that are concepts, suggestions, or ideas presented to the Government in which the source may not devote any further effort to it on the Government's behalf.

6.  An invention or discovery that has officially received a patent or is otherwise protected under title 35 of the U.S. Code. If the Proposer is an owner of an issued U.S. patent, he or she may offer NASA a license in the patented invention by writing to the Office of the Associate General Counsel (Intellectual Property), Code GP, NASA Headquarters, Washington, DC 20546. Please identify the U.S. patent number in your correspondence. An investigation will then be made to determine the extent of NASA's interest. Note that only U.S. patents will be considered.

7.  A proposal for a new award or the renewal of a contract, grant or cooperative agreement which falls within the scope of an open NASA Research Announcement (NRA). These proposals will be evaluated as a response to that NRA unless it is determined that doing so will place the unsolicited proposal at a competitive disadvantage or that the offeror cannot be afforded the opportunity to amend the unsolicited proposal to conform it to the instructions in the NRA. If such a determination is made, the unsolicited proposal will be evaluated separately.

RETURN TO CONTENTS

WHEN TO SUBMIT

There are no specific dates for the submission of unsolicited proposals. However, funding availability is greater during the start of the Government's fiscal year cycle beginning October 1 of each year. All proposals should be submitted at least six (6) months in advance of the desired starting date.

RETURN TO CONTENTS

WHERE TO SUBMIT

Submit all valid unsolicited proposals to the appropriate Proposal Coordinating Office located at the NASA Installation where work is being performed that relates to the proposed project. Refer to the areas of interest and the addresses at the end of this document. Informational copies of the unsolicited proposals may be provided to as many technical offices within NASA as is appropriate. The names of the people to whom these copies were sent and their installations should be noted in the letter of transmittal sent with the official submission. All formally received unsolicited proposals will be acknowledged.

RETURN TO CONTENTS

NUMBER OF COPIES

One signed original and two copies of the unsolicited proposal should be submitted to the Proposal Coordinating Office.

RETURN TO CONTENTS

FORMAT

There is no prescribed format for an unsolicited proposal. As long as it includes the items described below and meets the definition of an unsolicited proposal, it will be fully considered.

RETURN TO CONTENTS

LENGTH

Proposals should be brief and concentrate on substantive material essential for a complete understanding of the project. Experience shows that few proposals exceed 15-20 pages. Any necessary detailed information, such as charts, should be included as an attachment rather than in the main body of the proposal. As proposals are not returned, avoid the use of "one-of-a-kind" attachments; send copies or representations whenever possible or discuss them in the proposal.

RETURN TO CONTENTS

PROPOSAL CONTENT

Unsolicited proposals should include the following information (8 parts) to permit consideration in an objective and timely manner. If the Proposer does not follow these guidelines, NASA may not be able to evaluate the proposal in a meaningful way, and consequently, it may be returned or rejected. The Proposer has the option to resubmit the proposal after making modifications.

1. Transmittal Letter or Introductory Material

2. Abstract

Include a 200-300 word abstract stating the rationale of the proposed effort and the method of approach in relation to the needs of NASA.

3. Project Description

The main body of the proposal should be a detailed statement of the work to be undertaken. It should include objectives and expected significance (particularly in the context of the national aerospace effort), relation to the present state of knowledge in the field, relation to any previous work done on the project, and to related work in progress elsewhere. The statement should outline the general plan of work, including the broad design of experiments to be undertaken and an adequate description of experimental methods and procedures.

When the effort will require more than one year, the proposal should cover the complete project. Principal emphasis should be on the first year of work, and the description should distinguish clearly between the first year's work and the work planned for subsequent years.

4. Management Approach

For large or complex efforts involving interactions among numerous individuals or other organizations, plans for distribution of responsibilities and necessary arrangements for ensuring a coordinated effort should be described. Aspects of any intensive working relations with NASA Field Installations which are not logical inclusions elsewhere in the proposal should be described in this part.

5. Personnel

Outline the relevant experience and/or expertise of all key personnel in a way that would demonstrate these capabilities in relation to the proposed effort; a short biographical sketch, a list of principal publications, and any exceptional qualifications should be included. Give the names and titles of any others associated substantially with the project in an advisory capacity. Any substantial collaboration with individuals not referred to in the budget or use of consultants should be described.

The Proposer or principal investigator will be responsible for direct supervision of the work and participates in the conduct of the effort regardless of whether or not compensation is received under the award. The principal investigator cannot be a government employee.

Educational institutions should list the approximate number of students/assistants involved in the project and information about their level of academic attainments.

Any special cooperative arrangements with industry that will enhance the project should be described. Note, however, that subcontracting significant portions of the project is discouraged.

Omit social security numbers and other personal items which do not merit consideration in evaluation of the proposal.

6. Facilities and Equipment

Identify any unique facilities, Government-owned facilities, industrial plant equipment or special tooling which will be required. Whenever possible, include documentation indicating Government approval for use of the property. Summarize how such equipment is to be obtained and whether sharing or loan of equipment already within the organization is a feasible alternative to purchase. The need for items which typically can be used for both research and non-research purposes should also be explained. Proposers may not acquire and charge general purpose equipment as a direct cost without the advance, written approval of the Agency's Contracting Officer. Such requests must explain why indirect costs cannot be charged for the requested item or items and what controls will be put in place to assure that the property will be used exclusively for research purposes (i.e., explain why the proposed general purpose equipment cannot also be used for other purposes).

7. Proposed Costs

Proposals must state the funding level being requested accompanied by a cost plan with sufficient detail to permit an understanding of the basis of the funding request. As applicable, include separate cost estimates for the following: List estimated expenses as yearly requirements by major work phases. If the proposal is multiyear in scope, submit separate cost estimates for each year.

List salaries and wages in appropriate organizational categories; for example, principal investigator, other scientific and engineering professionals, graduate research assistants and technicians, and other nonprofessional personnel. Estimate personnel data in terms of full months or fractions of full time. Do not use separate "confidential" or "proprietary" salary pages.

Explanatory notes should accompany the budget to provide identification and estimated costs of major capital equipment items to be acquired; purpose and estimated number and lengths of trips planned; basis for indirect costs; and clarification of other items that are not self-evident. Allowable costs are governed by FAR Part 31, NASA FAR Supplement Part 1831, OMB Circular A-21 for educational institutions, and A-122 for nonprofit organizations. Profit or fee for contracts is covered in FAR Subpart 15.9.

By statute, cost sharing is usually required on contracts for basic or applied research projects resulting from unsolicited proposals. However, colleges and universities need not propose cost sharing since their activities generally do not produce benefits that can be measured as having significance apart from the benefit intrinsic in conducting research for NASA. All other organizations should include cost sharing as part of their proposals unless they certify:

Nevertheless, NASA will request a cost revision at the negotiation stage if it is determined that cost sharing is necessary for compliance with the statute (see NFS 18-16.303-70).

8. Other Matters

Include any required statements of environmental impact of the effort, human subject or animal care provisions, conflict of interest, or such other topics as may be required by the nature of the effort and current statutes, executive orders, or other government-wide guidelines.

Proposers other than educational institutions should include a brief description of their organizations, facilities, and previous work experience in the field of their proposals. When applicable, state other current projects being conducted by the principal investigator:

RETURN TO CONTENTS

LIMITED USE OF DATA

It is NASA policy to use information contained in proposals for evaluation purposes only. This policy does not require that the proposal bear a restrictive notice. However, Proposers should, in order to maximize protection of trade secrets or other information that is commercial, financial, confidential, or privileged, place the following notice on the title page of the proposal and specify the information subject to the notice by inserting appropriate identification (such as page numbers) in the notice.

Notice

Use and Disclosure of Data

This proposal includes data that shall not be disclosed outside the Government and shall not be duplicated, used, or disclosed-in whole or in part-for any purpose other than to evaluate this proposal. However, if a contract is awarded to this offeror as a result of-or in connection with-the submission of these data, the Government shall have the right to duplicate, use, or disclose the data to the extent provided in the resulting contract. This restriction does not limit the Government's right to use information contained in these data if they are obtained from another source without restriction. The data subject to this restriction are contained in Sheets [insert numbers or other identification of sheets].


RETURN TO CONTENTS

SECURITY

If the proposed effort requires access to or may generate national security classified information, the submitter will be required to comply with applicable Government security regulations. Proposals should not contain national security classified material.

RETURN TO CONTENTS

PROPOSALS FROM FOREIGN COUNTRIES

NASA's policy is to conduct research with foreign entities on a cooperative, no- exchange-of-funds basis. NASA does not normally fund foreign research proposals or foreign research efforts that are part of U.S. research proposals. Rather, cooperative research efforts are implemented via international agreements between NASA and the sponsoring foreign agency or funding/sponsoring institution under which the parties agree to each bear the cost of discharging their respective responsibilities.

In accordance with the National Space Transportation Policy, use of a non-U.S. manufactured launch vehicle is permitted only on a no-exchange-of-funds basis.

NASA funding is not normally used for subcontracted foreign research efforts. The direct purchase of supplies and/or services, which do not constitute research, from non-U.S. sources by U.S. award recipients is permitted.

Proposals from foreign entities must be submitted in the same format as U.S. proposals and in U.S. dollars. All information should be typed and in English. The proposal should emphasize the unique nature of the project and/or the unique expertise of the proposer. Foreign proposals will go through the same evaluation and selection process as U.S. Proposals

RETURN TO CONTENTS

JOINT PROPOSALS

Some projects involve joint efforts among individuals in different organizations. Where multiple organizations are involved, the proposal should be submitted by only one of the organizations. In this event, the proposal should clearly describe the role to be played by the other organizations and indicate the legal and managerial arrangements contemplated. Alternatively, the cooperating parties may prefer simultaneous submission of related proposals from each organization, in which case parallel awards would be made. The cover sheet should indicate the related nature of the proposals.

A project of a cooperative nature with NASA is possible. In this case, the proposal should describe the contributions expected from any participating NASA investigator and Agency facilities or equipment that may be required.

RETURN TO CONTENTS

REVISIONS OR WITHDRAWAL

If the Proposer wishes to submit additional material, submit a complete revision, or to withdraw a proposal, a request must be sent to the Proposal Coordinating Office that acknowledged receipt. It is important to clearly identify the original proposal by title, date of submission, and the NASA-assigned control number found in the letter of acknowledgment.

For changes, explain the relationship between the new material and the previous submission. However, note that a submission of revisions may delay the evaluation.

RETURN TO CONTENTS

EVALUATION PROCEDURES

The principal elements considered in evaluating a proposal are its technical and programmatic relevance to NASA's specific mission, the intrinsic scientific or engineering merit, the qualifications of the investigator and the investigator's institution, and the overall cost (exclusive of the amount of cost sharing, if any).

Several evaluation techniques are regularly used within NASA. In all cases, however, proposals are reviewed by discipline specialists in the area of the proposal. Some proposals are reviewed entirely in-house, others are evaluated by a combination of in-house personnel and selected external reviewers, while still others are subject to a full external peer review either by mail or through assembled panels. Due regard for conflict of interest and protection of proposal information is always part of the process.

Regardless of the technique, the decision to fund or not fund an unsolicited proposal is made by NASA technical personnel. If additional information is requested during the evaluation of the proposal, that information should be forwarded directly to the requester.

RETURN TO CONTENTS

ACCEPTANCE/AWARD

When a proposal is accepted, negotiation and award will be handled by the procurement office in the funding Installation. The unsolicited proposal will be used as the basis for negotiation with the original submitter. Additional information specific to the contractual process (certifications, cost and pricing data, facilities information, etc.) will be requested as the procurement progresses. The award instrument (contract, grant, or cooperative agreement) will be determined during the negotiation process.

For unsolicited proposals that result in a contract, the Proposer must be a "Responsible Prospective Contractor" who meets the standards of FAR Subpart 9.1. Also, no conflict of interest may exist that cannot be avoided or mitigated (see FAR Subpart 9.5).

An unsolicited proposal that results in an award becomes part of the record of that transaction and may be available to the public on specific request; however, information or material that NASA and the awardee mutually agree to be of a privileged nature will be held in confidence to the extent permitted by law, including the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA).

RETURN TO CONTENTS

REJECTION

The bulk of rejections of unsolicited proposals are the result of relative priorities in the context of NASA's current or projected mission goals. NASA receives many proposals, but the number of awards may be restricted by a limitation of available funds. A notification letter, citing the reason(s) for rejection, will be sent to the individual who made the submission. Proposers should make inquiries with the NASA official who signed the notification letter.

Proposals that do not result in an award will be retained by NASA for one year and eventually will be destroyed. Tracking information will be electronically archived for two years.

RETURN TO CONTENTS

INTERAGENCY COORDINATION

It is the Proposer's responsibility to make formal submission to potentially interested agencies according to those agencies' guidelines. Therefore, NASA does not transfer formal submissions to or accept similar submissions from other agencies without the express consent of the Proposer, except as they might be related to an interagency funding arrangement. Unsolicited proposals submitted to the Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) are not considered as formal submissions to NASA.

RETURN TO CONTENTS

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

Unsolicited Proposals

Organizations or individuals desiring more specific information relative to unsolicited proposals should contact the procurement office of a NASA Field Installation or NASA Headquarters, Contract Management Division, Code HK, Washington, DC 20546-0001.
