preparation and submission. 

(c)(1) The annual reporting period shall be from October 1 of each year through September 30 of 

the following year. The report shall be submitted in time to be received by October 15. The 

information contained in these reports is entered into the NASA accounting system to reflect 

current asset values for agency financial statement purposes. Therefore, it is essential that 

required reports be received no later than October 15. Some activity may be estimated for the 

month of September, if necessary, to ensure the NF 1018 is received when due. However, 

contractors' procedures must document the process for developing these estimates based on 

planned activity such as planned purchases or NASA Form 533 (NF 533 Contractor Financial 

Management Report) cost estimates. It should be supported and documented by historical 

experience or other corroborating evidence, and be retained in accordance with FAR Subpart 4.7, 

Contractor Records Retention. Contractors shall validate the reasonableness of the estimates and 

associated methodology by comparing them to the actual activity once that data is available, and 

adjust them accordingly. In addition, differences between the estimated cost and actual cost

must be adjusted during the next reporting period. Contractors shall have formal policies and 

procedures, which address the validation of NF 1018 data, including data from subcontractors, 

and the identification and timely reporting of errors. The objective of this validation is to ensure 

that information reported is accurate and in compliance with the NASA FAR Supplement. If 

errors are discovered on NF 1018 after submission, the contractor shall contact the cognizant 

NASA Center Industrial Property Officer (IPO) within 30 days after discovery of the error to 

discuss corrective action.

exceeding $25,000 or 5 percent of the amount of the contract, whichever is less, has been set 

aside, if the Contractor fails to submit annual NF 1018 reports in accordance with 1845.505-14 

and any supplemental instructions for the current reporting period issued by NASA. Such 

reserve shall be withheld until the Contracting Officer has determined that NASA has received 

the required reports. The withholding of any amount or the subsequent payment thereof shall not 

be construed as a waiver of any Government right. 

(d) A final report shall be submitted within 30 days after disposition of all property subject to 

reporting when the contract performance period is complete in accordance with (b)(1) through 

(3) of this clause.

H.7 TASK ORDER SOLICITATION AND SELECTION PROCEDURES (LaRC 52.216-

97)(APRIL 2008)

A. Each contractor will be given a fair opportunity to be considered for each order in accordance 

with FAR 16.505 but is not required to submit a proposal for any individual task order. The 

costs of preparing proposals for individual task orders under the contract will not be an allowable 

direct charge to the contract. However, these costs may be an allowable cost to the normal bid 

and proposal indirect cost pursuant to FAR 31.205-18.

B. The contracting officer (CO) will consider past performance, quality of services and/or

deliverables, final proposed cost/price or other factors the contracting officer believes are 

relevant.

C. For those orders, which are competed among the multiple contract awardees, the CO will 

provide a solicitation to each contractor and will request a proposal in accordance with H.3, 

1852.216-80, Task Ordering Procedure. The solicitation will include a PWS, specifications, or 

drawings; required delivery date, any special instructions or provisions, and any selection criteria 

to be used to award the Task Order. The final cost estimate represents the baseline to be used for 

reporting in Columns 7b and 7d of NASA Form 533M (See Exhibit C). For orders exceeding 

$5 million, the Contracting Officer will comply with the enhanced Ordering Procedures of FAR 

16.505(b)(1)(iii).

D. Contractors need not be given an opportunity to be considered for a particular order in excess 

of $3,000 under multiple Task Order contracts if the CO determines that-
NNL10AA07B SECTION H

Page 26 of 44

1. The agency need for the supplies or services is so urgent that providing a fair 

opportunity would result in unacceptable delays;

2. Only one contractor is capable of providing the supplies or services required at the 

level of quality required because the supplies or services ordered are unique or highly 

specialized;

3. The order must be issued on a sole-source basis in the interest of economy and 

efficiency as a logical follow-on to an order already issued under the contract, provided 

that all contractors were given a fair opportunity to be considered for the original order; 

or

4. It is necessary to place an order to satisfy a minimum guarantee.

E. Orders may be issued by facsimile or electronic commerce methods.

 (End of clause)

H.8 ORGANIZATIONAL CONFLICTS OF INTEREST (LaRC 52.227-96) (AUG 2007)

(a) Pursuant to FAR 9.504, the Contracting Officer is responsible for identifying and 

evaluating potential Organizational Conflicts of Interest (OCI) early in the acquisition process 

and either avoiding, neutralizing, or mitigating such conflicts before contract award.

(b) In general during the performance of this contract, the Contractor may encounter 

conflicts when required to provide systems engineering and technical direction, prepare 

specifications or work statements, provide evaluation services, and/or obtain access to 

proprietary information as described in FAR 9.505. More specifically, the Contracting Officer 

has determined that during performance of this contract, the Contractor may 

(1) have access to proprietary information or data of other contractors and/or 

Government sensitive, nonpublic information or data, which information or data may 

provide the Contractor with an unfair competitive advantage with regard to a competitive 

acquisition; 

(2) evaluate or assess the work product of the Contractor or of the Contractor’s 

competitors which were developed under other contracts; or 

(3) prepare, or assist in preparing, specifications or work statements to be used in 

competitive acquisitions. [For the purpose of this clause, the term contractor includes 

any division, separate company, or subsidiary that is wholly-owned by the parent 

corporation, and includes any of the prime Contractors teammates and/or 

Subcontractor(s).] The existence of these conflicting roles might bias the Contractor's 

judgment.

(c) Contractor's response to Task Orders: Within two working days of receipt of a Task 

Order request causing such a conflict to arise, the Contractor shall notify the Contracting Officer 

and provide a report of a potential conflict detailing:

(1) The nature of the conflict

(2) Plan for avoiding, neutralizing or mitigating the conflict

(3) The benefits and risks associated with acceptance of the plan

(d) Government Response to a Report of a Potential Conflict: The Contracting Officer shall 

review the report and determine which of the following approaches is in the best interest of the 
NNL10AA07B SECTION H

Page 27 of 44

Government and shall so advise the Contractor:

(2) The Contractor shall not perform the Task Order;

(3) The Task Order shall be cancelled or modified to remove the identified conflict 

and/or work identified in the Task Order;

work may be obtained by the Government from another source not possessing a similar 

conflict of interest; or

(5) The Contractor may identify a Subcontractor who can provide services consistent 

with the Task Order. The Contractor may enter into a subcontract and retain all 

contractual responsibilities except that the Subcontractor technical reports shall be 

delivered directly to the Contracting Officer’s Technical Representative and the 

Contracting Officer. This subcontract will not obviate the Contractor’s responsibility for 

acceptable technical performance of the Task Order.

(e) Additional requirements:

(1) Any limitations on future contracting resulting from the Contractor's or its 

Subcontractor's preparation of specifications, performance work statements, or access to 

proprietary, business confidential, or financial data of another company are identified in 

Section H.2.

(2) The Contractor shall include this clause in all subcontract(s) regardless of tier.

(c) Physical and Logical Access Requirements.

(1) Contractor personnel requiring access to IT systems operated by the Contractor for 

NASA or interconnected to a NASA network shall be screened at an appropriate level in 

accordance with NPR 2810 and Chapter 4, NPR 1600.1, NASA Security Program 

Procedural Requirements. NASA shall provide screening, appropriate to the highest risk 

level, of the IT systems and information accessed, using, as a minimum, National Agency 

Check with Inquiries (NACI). The Contractor shall submit the required forms to the 

NASA Center Chief of Security (CCS) within fourteen (14) days after contract award or 

assignment of an individual to a position requiring screening. The forms may be obtained 

from the CCS. At the option of NASA, interim access may be granted pending 

completion of the required investigation and final access determination. For Contractors 

who will reside on a NASA Center or installation, the security screening required for all 

required access (e.g., installation, facility, IT, information, etc.) is consolidated to ensure 

only one investigation is conducted based on the highest risk level. Contractors not 

residing on a NASA installation will be screened based on their IT access risk level 

determination only. See NPR 1600.1, Chapter 4.

(2) Guidance for selecting the appropriate level of screening is based on the risk of 

adverse impact to NASA missions. NASA defines three levels of risk for which screening 

is required (IT-1 has the highest level of risk).

(i) IT-1 - Individuals having privileged access or limited privileged access to 

systems whose misuse can cause very serious adverse impact to NASA missions. 

These systems include, for example, those that can transmit commands directly 

modifying the behavior of spacecraft, satellites or aircraft.
NNL10AA07B SECTION I

Page 38 of 44

(ii) IT-2 - Individuals having privileged access or limited privileged access to 

systems whose misuse can cause serious adverse impact to NASA missions. 

These systems include, for example, those that can transmit commands directly 

modifying the behavior of payloads on spacecraft, satellites or aircraft; and those 

that contain the primary copy of "level 1" information whose cost to replace 

exceeds one million dollars.

(iii) IT-3 - Individuals having privileged access or limited privileged access to 

systems whose misuse can cause significant adverse impact to NASA missions. 

These systems include, for example, those that interconnect with a NASA 

network in a way that exceeds access by the general public, such as bypassing 

firewalls; and systems operated by the Contractor for NASA whose function or 

information has substantial cost to replace, even if these systems are not 

interconnected with a NASA network.

(3) Screening for individuals shall employ forms appropriate for the level of risk as 

established in Chapter 4, NPR 1600.1.

(4) The Contractor may conduct its own screening of individuals requiring privileged 

access or limited privileged access provided the Contractor can demonstrate to the 

Contracting Officer that the procedures used by the Contractor are equivalent to NASA's 

personnel screening procedures for the risk level assigned for the IT position.

(5) Subject to approval of the Contracting Officer, the Contractor may forgo screening of 

Contractor personnel for those individuals who have proof of a -

(i) Current or recent national security clearances (within last three years);

(ii) Screening conducted by NASA within the last three years that meets or 

exceeds the screening requirements of the IT position; or

(iii) Screening conducted by the Contractor, within the last three years, that is 

equivalent to the NASA personnel screening procedures as approved by the 

Contracting Officer and concurred on by the CCS.

(d) The Contracting Officer may waive the requirements of paragraphs (b) and (c) (1) through (c) 

(3) upon request of the Contractor. The Contractor shall provide all relevant information 

requested by the Contracting Officer to support the waiver request. 

(e) The Contractor shall contact the Contracting Officer for any documents, information, or 

forms necessary to comply with the requirements of this clause.

(f) At the completion of the contract, the contractor shall return all NASA information and IT 

resources provided to the contractor during the performance of the contract and certify that all 

NASA information has been purged from contractor-owned systems used in the performance of 
NNL10AA07B SECTION I
