Sec. 1204.402  Responsibilities.



    (a) Office of Small and Disadvantaged Business Utilization (OSDBU). 

The Associate Administrator for Small and Disadvantaged Business 

Utilization, NASA Headquarters, is responsible for the development, 

supervision, and coordination of the NASA Small Business Program. The 

Associate Administrator is also responsible for formulating policy and 

procedures relating to small business, and representing NASA before 

other Government agencies on matters primarily affecting small business.

    (b) NASA Headquarters and Field Installations. The Directors of 

Field Installations and the Associate Administrator for Procurement at 

Headquarters will designate a qualified individual as a ``Small Business 

Specialist'' to provide a central point of contact to which small and 

small disadvantaged business concerns may direct inquiries concerning 

participation in the NASA procurement program, or secure assistance in 

submitting bids or proposals and performance of contracts. Where the 

Director of the Field Installation considers that the volume of 

procurement at the Installation does not warrant a full-time Small 

Business Specialist, the Director may assign such duties to qualified 

procurement personnel on a part-time basis. NASA Field Installations 

shall establish and maintain liaison with the Small Business 

Administration (SBA) Procurement Center Representative (PCR) or the 

appropriate Small Business Administration Regional Office in matters 

relating to Field Installation procurement activities. A Small Business 

Technical Advisor shall be assigned to each contracting activity within 

the agency to which the SBA has assigned a PCR.
