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.
