Sec. 1201.400  NASA procurement program.





    (a) The Office of Procurement, headed by the Assistant Administrator 

for Procurement, serves as a central point of control and contact for 

NASA procurements. Although the procurements may be made by the field 

installations, selected contracts and contracts of special types are 

required to be approved by the Assistant Administrator for Procurement 

prior to their execution. The Office of Procurement is also responsible 

for formulation of NASA procurement policies and provides overall 

assistance and guidance to NASA field installations to achieve 

uniformity in NASA procurement processes.

    (b) The NASA procurement program is carried out principally at the 

NASA field installations listed in subpart 2 of this part and in the 

``U.S. Government Manual.'' The Headquarters Acquisition Division is 

responsible for contracts with foreign governments and foreign 

commercial organizations, the procurement of materials and services 

required by Headquarters offices except for minor office supplies and 

services procured locally, and the award of grants and cooperative 

agreements for Headquarters. The Headquarters Space Station Freedom 

Procurement Office is responsible for managing and directing the full 

range of acquisition functions in support of the Space Station Freedom 

Program Office.

    (c) All procurements are made in accordance with the Federal 

Acquisition Regulation (FAR) (48 CFR chapter 1) and the NASA Federal 

Acquisition Regulation Supplement (NASA/FAR Supplement) (48 CFR chapter 

18). Copies of these publications are available from the Superintendent 

of Documents, U.S. Government Printing Office, Washington, DC 20402, on 

an annual subscription basis.
