  [Step]{.underline}   [Actionee]{.underline}   [Action]{.underline}
  -------------------- ------------------------ ----------------------------------------------------
  6.1                  MM                       *Research goals, missions and choose subjects* based
                                                on the Agency Strategic Plan and by interviewing
                                                Public Affairs Officers and outreach representatives
                                                for each Agency Mission Directorate. Interview NASA
                                                scientists, engineers about suitable subjects for
                                                artwork.

  6.2                  MM                       *Scout for talent, select artist and issue PR to
                                                GSFC*. Consult qualified artist list, talk to
                                                curators, museums and gallery owners about talent.
                                                Make scouting trips to art institutions. Select
                                                artist. Prepare a Procurement Request (#163)
                                                containing the art specifications required.

  6.3.                 MM                       *Perform COTR function, monitoring work completion
                                                and providing relevant artist briefings.* If
                                                necessary, make arrangements for briefings of the
                                                artist at NASA Centers or at off-site contractor
                                                facilities that are relevant to the commission.

  6.4                  MM                       *Extension Needed?* If it is determined in Step 6.3
                                                or 6.9 that an extension will be required for
                                                additional time to complete the project, process
                                                proceeds to Step 6.5. If not, process proceeds to
                                                Step 6.6.

  6.5                  MM                       *Prepare extension memo request to Contracting
                                                Officer.* The Multimedia Manager (MM) prepares and
                                                issues a memo requesting GSFC to prepare and issue a
                                                Contract Extension based on discussions with the
                                                artist concerning additional time needed to complete
                                                the project.

  6.6                  MM                       *Take Delivery*. Artist delivers art, usually after
                                                an initial six-month period. The MM based on his
                                                training and experience determines whether the art
                                                is acceptable or not. If not acceptable, MM further
                                                determines whether revision could make the art
                                                acceptable.

  6.7                  MM                       *Art acceptable*? If no, clearly identify the art as
                                                being unsatisfactory and proceed to Step 6.8. If
                                                yes, proceed to Step 6.11. If revision is required,
                                                clearly identify the art as being unsatisfactory and
                                                proceed to Step 6.9.

  6.8                  MM                       *Notify contracting officer and complete Report of
                                                Non-Conformance For Simplified Acquisitions.*
                                                Contact contracting officer to advise that the art
                                                is not acceptable and the contract is to be
                                                terminated and funds deobligated. GSFC's procedure
                                                requires completion of Procurement Operations
                                                Division (POD) Form 210-1 Non-Conformance Report for
                                                Simplified Acquisitions by the COTR. GSFC terminates
                                                contract, deobligates funds and process ends.

  6.9                  MM                       *Request revisions from artist and determine need
                                                for contract extension.* Request changes be made to
                                                the artwork or request a new piece of art to replace
                                                the original submission. Scope of requested revision
                                                might cause artist to require an extension of the
                                                contract time period. If that is the case, process
                                                proceeds to Steps 6.10 and 6.4 in parallel.

  6.10                 MM                       *Return to artist for revisions*. Return submitted
                                                artwork to artist while GSFC issues Contract
                                                Extension. Process returns to Step 6.6

  6.11                 MM                       *Certify inspection and acceptance of art and
                                                approve invoice for payment.* Complete GSFC
                                                Inspection and Acceptance Certification. Artist's
                                                invoice is signed and sent to Headquarters
                                                Accounting Division at GSFC for payment. Retain copy
                                                of signed Certification and invoice.

  6.12                 MM                       *Photograph, frame and catalogue*. Log into the Art
                                                Inventory book, recording Name of Artist, Title,

                                                Use Catalog Number provided by Photography when work
                                                is photographed. Index by date acquired.

  6.13                 MM                       *Obtain PO Management approval, prepare art for
                                                shipping and forward to venue.* Prepare a
