5: Acquisition Management
Achieve the most productive application of Federal acquisition policies Other Information:
NASA continues to improve the way we work with our contractors and to streamline acquisition regulations. Performance-based
contracting and other initiatives are assigning contractors more program integration responsibility and accountability. Moving
more NASA civil service employees from detailed operations management to review of contractor work allows us to enable the
aerospace business instead of direct it. We continue to work to fully integrate small, small disadvantaged, and women-owned
businesses into the competitive base from which we purchase goods and services, encouraging prime contractors to forge long-term,
mutually beneficial business relationships with small firms.
