NATIONAL AERONAUTICS AND

[NOTICE: [22–013]] 

Requirement for NASA Recipients of 

Financial Assistance Awards To 

Obtain a Quotation From Small and/or 

Minority Businesses, Women’s 

Business Enterprises and Labor 

Surplus Area Firms 

AGENCY: National Aeronautics and 

Space Administration. 

ACTION: Request for public comment on 

new term and condition that requires 

recipients of NASA financial assistance 

to obtain a quotation from small and/or 

minority businesses, women’s business 

enterprises or labor surplus area firms. 

SUMMARY: The Grants Policy and 

Compliance Branch (GPC) in the 

National Aeronautics and Space 

Administration’s (NASA) Office of the 

Chief Financial Officer is soliciting 

public comment on the Agency’s 

proposed implementation of a new term 

and condition that requires recipients of 

NASA financial assistance to obtain a 

quotation from small and/or minority 

businesses, women’s business 

enterprises or labor surplus area firms 

when the acquisition of goods or 

services exceeds the simplified 

acquisition threshold. In response to the 

Executive Order regarding Advancing 

Racial Equity and Support for 

Underserved Communities Through the 

Federal Government, NASA has been 

working to identify and address barriers 

that underserved communities and 

individuals may face in taking 

advantage of procurement, contracting, 

or grant opportunities. To address these 

barriers, NASA has taken a few actions 

including proposing the term and 

condition described above. NASA is 

taking this action to ensure that entities 

funded by NASA are compliant with the 

procurement standards in the uniform 

guidance. NASA’s expectation is that 

this action will result in an increase in 

contracting opportunities for small and/ 

or minority businesses, women’s 

business enterprises and labor surplus 

area firms that contract with NASA 

financial assistance recipients. 

DATES: Comments must be received by 

March 25, 2022. 

ADDRESSES: Comments should be 

addressed to National Aeronautics and 

Space Administration Headquarters, 300 

E Street SW, Rm. 6087, Washington, DC 

20546 or sent through 

www.regulations.gov; Phone Number: 

202–358–2180, FAX Number: 202–358– 

3336. We encourage respondents to 

submit comments electronically to 

ensure timely receipt. We cannot 

guarantee that comments mailed will be 

received before the comment closing 

date. Please include ‘‘Requirement to 

obtain a quotation from small and/or 

minority businesses, women’s business 

enterprises or labor surplus area firms’’ 

in the subject line of the email message. 

Please also include the full body of your 

comments in the text of the message and

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On 

January 25, 2021, President Biden 

issued E.O. 13985, Advancing Racial 

Equity and Support for Underserved 

Communities Through the Federal 


khammond on DSKJM1Z7X2PROD with NOTICES
10258 Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 36 / Wednesday, February 23, 2022 / Notices 

Government, outlining a comprehensive 

approach to advancing equity for all, 

including people of color and others 

who have been historically underserved, 

marginalized, and adversely affected by 

persistent poverty and inequality. Given 

that advancing equity requires a 

systematic approach to embedding 

fairness in the decision-making process, 

the E.O. instructs agencies to recognize 

and work to redress inequities in their 

policies and programs that serve as 

barriers to equal opportunity. 

In response to E.O. 13985, NASA has 

been working to identify and address 

barriers that underserved communities 

and individuals may face in taking 

advantage of procurement, contracting, 

or grant opportunities. Through focused 

engagement with stakeholders and 

comments received from 86 FR 31735, 

June 15, 2021, Request for Information 

on Advancing Racial Equity and 

Support for Underserved Communities 

in NASA Programs, Contracts and 

Grants Process, NASA has learned that 

access to information and a lack of 

resources and opportunities are just 

some of the barriers faced by 

underserved communities. As such, 

GPC has reviewed NASA’s grants 

management policies and procedures 

and has identified a few actions that can 

be taken to reduce these barriers, 

including a proposed implementation of 

a new term and condition that requires 

recipients of NASA financial assistance 

to obtain a quotation from small and/or 

minority businesses, women’s business 

enterprises or labor surplus area firms 

when the acquisition of goods or 

services exceeds the simplified 

acquisition threshold. 

The full text of the new term and 

condition is provided below: 

Requirement To Obtain a Quotation 

From Small and/or Minority 

Businesses, Women’s Business 

Enterprises or Labor Surplus Area 

Firms 

Pursuant to the requirements in 2 CFR 

200.321, Contracting with small and 

minority businesses, women’s business 

enterprises, and labor surplus area 

firms, grant and cooperative agreement 

recipients shall, to the extent 

practicable, obtain at least one quotation 

in response to a recipient-issued 

Request for Quotation (RFQ) from a 

small and/or minority business, 

women’s business enterprise or labor 

surplus area firms when the acquisition 

of goods or services exceeds the 

simplified acquisition threshold (SAT) 

as defined in the Federal Acquisition 

Regulation (FAR) part 2.101, Definitions 

(currently the SAT is $250,000). In the 

event that recipients are unable to 

obtain at least one quote from a small 

and/or minority businesswomen’s 

business enterprise or labor surplus area 

firm, a written justification indicating 

why this was not possible must be 

maintained in the recipient’s records. 

End of Proposed Term and Condition 

Implementation 

Upon receipt and resolution of all 

comments, it is NASA’s intention to 

implement the new term through a 

revision to the NASA Grant and 

Cooperative Agreement Manual 

(GCAM). These revised terms and 

conditions will become effective thirty 

days from the final notice publication 

date in the Federal Register and will be 

available in the GCAM. 

The new term and condition will be 

applied to all new NASA awards and 

funding amendments to existing awards 

made on or after the effective date.
