Dr. Olivette Hooks, 

Director, Logistics 

Management Division

Logisticians are strong 

and resilient managers, and I thank them 

all for their hard work. 

As NASA’s logisticians 

(employees and contractors), we face the task 

of meeting the needs 

of our program and 

project managers, who 

are expected to continue NASA’s 

mission until the Agency returns to 

normal operations. 

The logistics community must be 

able to navigate under stressful and 

uncertain times. We must protect 

and care for ourselves, 

our families, and our 

NASA family. We must 

continue to support 

NASA’s mission priorities and give them key 

consideration as we 

make decisions on how 

to move forward. 

Our Administrator has 

evolved status changes 

for several NASA Centers 

to stage 3 or 4, which 

means that only essential functions 

may be performed onsite, and all 

other work is under mandatory telework restrictions. 

NASA logisticians, I appreciate your 

support and understanding. We are 
2 logistics management news

committed to reopening as soon as it is possible, and 

I will regularly keep you posted of new developments. 

Until then, please follow the guidance on COVID-19 

from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. 

Please remember to perform frequent hand-hygiene 

practices, use hand sanitizer, and avoid touching your 

face with unwashed hands. Practicing good habits 

allows our communities to thrive and rebound after setbacks. I am grateful for all you have done and continue 

to do—I know that, together, we can weather any situation. I look forward to seeing each of you at our Senior 

Logistician meeting in the near future. Be safe!

Policy Update to the Process of NF-598 (Property 

Survey Report)

A review of the details surrounding the processing of 

NF-598 (Property Survey Report), as well as feedback 

received from Center stakeholders, prompted LMD to 

collaborate with attorneys from the Office of the General 

Counsel (OGC) to discuss and reach consensus on the 

timeframe for the review of an NF-598 by attorneys from 

OGC and the Office of the Chief Counsel (OCC).

The property-survey process is an administrative action 

whereby the loss, damage, destruction, or theft of 

Government personal property, including equipment, 

supplies, and materials, is documented, reviewed, and 

investigated for the purpose of adjusting NASA property 

records, when applicable, and determining whether a 

recommendation for financial liability, personnel action, 

or both are necessary against one or more individuals. 

The property-survey process also serves to review and 

provide recommendations for the following: 

¡ Damages or losses of Government property resulting 

from vehicle accidents. A NASA transportation asset 

is NASA equipment. 

¡ Developing corrective action when there are repetitive or significant cumulative losses, including losses 

of administratively controlled equipment.

The Survey Officer or the Chairperson of the Survey 

Review Board (SO/SRB) shall confer with the supporting OGC/OCC attorney(s) to obtain a legal opinion on 

the SO/SRB findings and recommendations. Attorneys 

are trained in matters of negligence standards, conflicts of interest, and sufficiency of evidence. Let’s keep 

in mind that OGC/OCC attorneys are not SRB voting 

members; they do not approve or disapprove, concur 

or nonconcur, with findings and recommendations. The 

task of attorneys is to provide legal opinions on whether 

the SO/SRB’s findings and recommendations can 

move forward. 

The lack of a NASA policy establishing a timeframe for 

OGC/OCC attorneys to review an NF-598 resulted in 

a lengthy process that varied from Center to Center. 

Some Center OCCs completed the review in weeks, 

and others in months. The purpose of the OGC/OCC 

review is to determine the legal sufficiency of the findings and recommendations outlined in an NF-598 as 

well as to provide a legal opinion to the Survey Officer 

or to the Chairperson of the SRB. 
logistics management newsl 

In this effort, OGC reached out to the OCC community 

to discuss the aforementioned and provide to LMD 

policy developers a realistic timeframe that will enable 

a timely review and processing of NF-598s. As a result, 

attorneys from the OGC and OCC offices across the 

Agency reached a consensus that, upon receipt, they 

need 10 business days to review a property-survey 

report for legal sufficiency and provide a legal opinion 

to the Survey Officer or to the Chairperson of the SRB.

Effective immediately, NASA policy outlined in 

Chapter 5, NPR 4200.1, is updated to allow 10 business days for OGC/OCC review of an NF-598 in the 

survey process.

The Equipment Physical Inventory—FY20

One of the recent concerns among the equipmentmanagement community is the timely completion of the 

FY20 equipment physical inventory by September 30, 

2020. This is because of the extraordinary circumstances in which we find ourselves currently due to 

COVID-19. Employees’ health and safety are NASA’s 

highest priority in this difficult time, and we all must 

remain alert to mitigate any unnecessary exposure. The 

majority of NASA employees and supporting contractors are teleworking or have limited access to NASA 

facilities; therefore, physical inventories are at a standstill until further notice. In response, LMD is discussing 

a potential extension of the September 30 deadline 

with Center stakeholders—it will all depend on when 

we are allowed to return to perform onsite work. I have 

communicated to OCFO’s property officials my intent 

to extend the September 30 deadline; this is because 

we have to remain mindful of the metrics we logisticians 

have to meet with financial auditors on inventory of 

capital equipment.

The majority of NASA employees and 

supporting contractors are teleworking 

or have limited access to NASA 

facilities; therefore, physical inventories 

are at a standstill until further notice.

In essence, LMD will continue the discussion on this 

topic with Center stakeholders. We will be flexible and 

will work with each Center to answer questions or 

accommodate Center circumstances. In the meantime, 

please continue to practice the safety and health guidelines provided by NASA leadership as well as local and 

Federal governments.

Equipment-Management Modernization Initiatives

Converting the Equipment Management Process 

Forms to an HTML Format and Incorporating 

Workflow to Aid in Process Adherence 

Equipment-management forms are currently accessed 

through the NASA forms application, which uses an 

Adobe format requiring the use of e-mail to forward the 

forms through the required process steps for review 

and approval. Conversion to an HTML format will allow 

automatic workflow routing and approval-signature 

upload. The formatting will also enable the conversion 

of each process to an online application format that 

will be adopted in a concurrent initiative (see below). 

The forms currently in the process of conversion are 

the NF-893 (Loan of NASA Equipment) and NF-1617 

(NASA Equipment Modification, Cannibalization, 

and Construction Request). The remainder of the 

forms will be worked as the NASA Forms Team 

resources support.

Development of an Equipment Management Agency 

Enterprise Application 

Concurrent with the equipment management forms 

conversion to HTML format, a request was made 

to the Applications Portfolio Management Board 

(APMB) for the development of an Agency enterprise 

application to replace the use of forms to execute 

equipment-management processes. The general 

requirement is to make the applications accessible to all 

NASA personnel with access to the NASA network and 

incorporate workflow into all of the processes.

Redefinition of Foreign Gifts and Decorations 

Minimal Value

On March 10, 2020, the General Services 

Administration (GSA), Office of Government-wide Policy, 

released an update to the minimal value for foreign gifts 

and decorations received by Government employees.

GSA, in consultation with the U.S. Department of 

State, must redefine the minimal value of foreign gift 

items to reflect changes in the Consumer Price Index 

(CPI) for the preceding 3-year period, as specified 

under the Receipt and Disposition of Foreign Gifts and 

Decorations, 5 U.S.C. § 7342. The minimal value was 

last redefined effective January 1, 2017; therefore, it 

must be redefined as of January 1, 2020. The minimal 

value, effective January 1, 2020, is $415.00.

The Federal Management Regulation 

(FMR) Part 102-42 directs that when 

a gift of more than minimal value 

is accepted, the gift becomes the 

property of the U.S. Government, not 

the employee, and must be reported.

The Federal Management Regulation (FMR) Part 

102-42 directs that when a gift of more than minimal 

value is accepted, the gift becomes the property of 

the U.S. Government, not the employee, and must be 

reported. To meet this requirement, NPR 4200.1 (NASA 

Equipment Management Procedural Requirements) 

defines “a gift” (foreign and domestic) as a form of 

acquisition and establishes control criteria for foreign 

gifts. NASA may accept gifts without condition or 

restriction as authorized by the National Aeronautics 

and Space Act (Section 20113(d)). In consequence, the 

Supply and Equipment Management Officer (SEMO), 

or designee, shall ensure the recording of foreign gifts 

and decorations to NASA or its employees that exceed 

the $415.00 minimal value at the time of acceptance in 

SAP/Property, Plant, and Equipment (PP&E). 

For that purpose, the SEMO or designee must select 

Acquisition Code 23 (receipt from gifted to NASA) 

when creating the Equipment Master Record (EMR) 

for the gift item in SAP. In addition, the SEMO must 

identify gifts by selecting the “NASA Gifted Item” flag 

in the EMR—this flag allows LMD to generate reports 

and timely responses to queries from GSA, Congress 

officials, and other Federal organizations.

Agency Applications Office (AAO)—RFID Update

Suzie Sanderson, AAO Logistics Liaison, 

Marshall Space Flight Center (MSFC)

After a recent AAO 

data call to Center 

equipment inventory 

teams, AAO validated 

that much of the 

Agency is using outdated iPod Touch 6 

devices to support 

the yearly equipment 

inventory. This specific 

device was officially 

discontinued by Apple 

on May 28, 2019, and support for the sixth generation 

was stopped not long after its discontinuation. This particular device can no longer be updated and is incompatible with iOS 13. In addition, these outdated devices 

will not continue to be supported by NASA’s End User 

Services and are not in compliance with Agency information assurance and cybersecurity requirements. 

The latest version of the Inventory Mobile application 

developed by AAO is compatible for use with devices 

on iOS version 13.0 and up only. The inventory app 

is developed on the latest available technology in an 

effort to support the Agency and the ever-changing 

technology requirements. Therefore, the Centers currently utilizing iPod 6 devices will require replacement 

of the devices immediately to maintain the Centers’ 

inventory functions.

DISPOSAL MANAGEMENT PROGRAM

Sharrief Wilson, Program Manager,

NASA Headquarters 

Excess Personal Property 

For the end of the second quarter FY20, NASA Centers 

have successfully completed the disposition process for 

31,267 disposal cases, representing a total acquisition 

cost of $256,048,796. There are 53,602 disposal cases 

still pending disposition. This volume has remained 

relatively consistent over the past several years. 

Improvements in “through-flow” will require Centers to 

consider multiple methods to dispose of their excess 

property, including first-in, first-out (FIFO). 

According to the FIFO method, goods that are entered 

into the warehouse inventory first are disposed of 

(processed) first; as additional goods are entered into 

the warehouse inventory, they are placed at the end of 

the line for disposition. This means that at the end of a 

fiscal year, the items that remain on the active inventory 

list should be those that were the most recently introduced into the inventory.

Computers for Learning (CFL) 

For FY20, NASA Centers have transferred 28 pieces 

of computer technology to eligible schools through 

the Computers for Learning (CFL) program, representing a total acquisition cost of $81,749. Centers 

are strongly encouraged to continue supporting the 

CFL program because this program offers a valued 

return to taxpayers and fosters educational benefits 

through science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM). The CFL program evolved from the 

implementation of Executive Order 12999, Educational 

Technology: Ensuring Opportunity for All Children in the 

Next Century. 

How does CFL work? The CFL website enables schools 

and educational nonprofit organizations to obtain excess 

computer equipment from Federal agencies. Federal 

agencies can report their excess computers and related 

peripheral equipment to GSA through the GSAXcess 

website at https://gsaxcess.gov. 

For organizations to become eligible for the CFL program, potential recipients must first register on the 

GSAXcess website. In order to fulfill registration requirements, recipients must serve some portion of the prekindergarten through grade-12 population and operate 

primarily for the purpose of education. Schools must 

provide a valid National Center for Educational Statistics 

(NCES) number. Educational nonprofits must provide a 

501(c)(3) tax identification number. 

Rocket park at Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, AL

Once organizations are registered and determined to 

be eligible, representatives from recipient organizations 
6 logistics management news

can view and request available 

excess computers and related 

peripheral equipment. The Federal 

agency that reported the property 

can then allocate the property to 

the school or educational nonprofit 

organization of its choice. After 

allocation, the receiving school or 

nonprofit organization must pick up 

the property within a certain period. 

The school or educational nonprofit 

organization is responsible for the 

shipping and handling costs.

ADMINISTRATION (GSA) ONLINE AUCTIONS OF 

PERSONAL PROPERTY

$417,271

Net surplus 

sales proceeds

$40,148

 Net sales proceeds 

 under the exhange/

 sale authority

So far this fiscal year, NASA Centers 

have netted a total of $417,271 in 

sales proceeds from GSA online 

auctions of personal property, which 

includes (a) $40,148 in net sales 

proceeds under the exchange/sale 

authority and (b) $417,271 in net surplus sales proceeds. It is important 

to understand that sales proceeds 

under the exchange/sales authority 

shall be used, in whole or in part, 

for the acquisition or replacement 

of property (as required by Federal 

Management Regulation [FMR] 

102-39—Replacement of Personal 

Property Pursuant to the Exchange/

Sale Authority). 

The net sales proceeds from the 

sale of surplus personal property 

through GSA online auctions can 

be used to defray NASA expenses 

related to the sale of the surplus 

property in accordance with FMR 

102-38.295-300, Disposition of 

Proceeds, and NASA Procedural 

Requirement 4300.1C, section 

5.5.2, and can include

a. expenses associated with 

warehouses and storage, 

b. sales preparation, 

c. environmental services, 

d. demilitarization services, 

e. advertising and appraisals, 

f. security and transportation 

of property, 

g. labor or contract costs related 

to the sale of the property, and 

h. NASA Centers’ established 

overhead rates for 

these functions. 

Centers should ensure that they 

are tracking the costs associated 

with completing sales, as NASA 

does not have sales-proceed 

retention authority.

UNICOR Memorandum of 

Agreement (MOA)

This past year, NASA LMD executed the option on the MOA with 

UNICOR for the recycling of Federal 

Electronic Assets (FEA). This is 

the first of five renewal options. 

The new agreement took effect on 

October 1, 2019. So far in FY20, 

NASA has recycled 388,467 pounds 

of FEA and has received $38,846 in 

recycling proceeds. The proceeds 

reflect the rate of $0.10 per pound 

for recycled FEA.

Equipment and Supply Request 

in Response to COVID-19 

NASA Centers have been receiving 

requests for protective equipment 

from their local hospitals and municipality. It is important to be aware of 

the authorities that are available to 

the Federal Government to donate 

property to states in need. Below is 

the official response from LMD (as 

of March 25, 2020) on what NASA 

can do to support the pandemic.

NASA has no authority to donate 

property to the local hospitals. 

GSA has the authority on the 

donation of surplus property; by 

law, NASA must promptly report 

excess property for Federal and 

donation screening. Centers 

should review inventory to assess 

that we are only holding what 

we require; any amount above 

what is required for our missions 

should be excessed to Center 

disposal operations for screening. During Federal emergencies, 

GSA alters the screening and 

allocation process to ensure 

surplus Government property is 

getting to the states that have the 

biggest needs.
