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.
