NASA Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement

Procurement Notices (PNs): Changes to the NFS require rulemaking and publication in the Federal Register when a change may have an effect on the public. Changes to internal guidance and procedures are controlled, processed, and approved internally and are not required to be published in the Federal Register. All changes are then incorporated into the single, official NASA-maintained Internet version of the NFS through the issuance of PNs. PNs are numbered consecutively, prefixed by the last two digits of the calendar year of issuance.

Procurement Class Deviations (PCDs): Used to deviate from FAR and/or NFS requirements in cases where the deviation affects more than one contract action and is temporary in nature.

Procurement Information Circulars (PICs): Used for internal dissemination of procurementrelated information that clarifies existing policy, is temporary in nature or episodic and generally not suitable for inclusion in the NFS.

NFS Archive: Previously issued versions of the NFS are provided for historical purposes only.

References to the Federal Acquisition Regulations (FAR), NASA Procedural Requirements (NPR), NASA Policy Directive (NPD), and agency-wide templates throughout the NFS can be explored through the following websites:
