Proposed Rule Stage
226. • NASA FAR Supplement: Implementation of a Branding Clause (Section 610 Review) [2700-AE76]
Legal Authority: Not Yet Determined
Abstract: The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) is proposing to amend is regulations at 48 CFR parts 1827 and 1852 to implement a new Branding Clause. This clause will provide instructions to the contractor on whether the contractor is authorized to use the NASA brand(s) or is prohibited from use. As a government agency, NASA will not promote or endorse or appear to promote or endorse a commercial product, service, or activity. Therefore, there are strict limits placed on the use of any of the NASA identities in advertisements. The clause will also include limitations on when contractors may release general information regarding their activities conducted within the scope of NASA contracts. The clause will provide legal protection for NASA and contractors by detailing the rights and responsibilities of each.
Public Outreach and Engagement Activities
NASA engages with the public on procurement-related regulations in several ways. The Agency meets with industry associations on a quarterly basis both for its own regulations and as a signatory to the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR). Industry associations that regularly participate in these discussions include members of the Council of Defense and Space Industry Associations (CODSIA). During these meetings, NASA often provides information on open FAR rules which are publicly accessible in the FAR Case Status Report at https://www.acq.osd.mil/dpap/dars/far_case_status.html, and may provide an update on companion NASA FAR Supplement (NFS) acquisition rules. Occasionally, while NFS or FAR rules are out for public comment, NASA will hold a public meeting to allow the public to provide feedback in an open forum. Information regarding a public meeting is typically provided within the rule document upon publication for comment.
NASA's Acquisition also conveys policy changes through publications on the following websites:
Procurement Class Deviations at https://www.hq.nasa.gov/office/procurement/regs/pcd.pdf.
Procurement Notices ( https://www.hq.nasa.gov/office/procurement/regs/pn.pdf ).
