INDUSTRIAL BASE ASSESSMENT:

NASA Supply Chain Network

SCOPE OF ASSESSMENT


The U.S. Department of Commerce, Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS), Office of Technology Evaluation, in coordination with the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), Exploration Systems Mission Directorate (ESMD), is conducting an industrial base survey of NASA’s supply chain network. The principal goal of this data collection is to analyze the health and competitiveness of this U.S. supplier segment. The data collected will also be used to measure the industrial base impacts attributed to the cancellation of both the Space Shuttle and Constellation programs.

Term

Definition

Applied Research

R&D research expenditure category dedicated to the application of findings from basic research toward discovering new scientific knowledge that has specific commercial objectives with respect to new product, services, processes, or methods. [National Science Foundation]

Authorizing Official

Executive officer of the company or business unit or other individual who has the authority to execute this survey on behalf of the firm.

Basic Research

R&D research expenditure category dedicated to the pursuit of new scientific knowledge or understanding that does not have specific immediate commercial objectives with respect to new products, services, processes, or methods. [National Science Foundation]

CAGE Code

Commercial and Government Entity (CAGE) Code identifies companies doing or wishing to do business with the U.S. Federal Government. The code is used to support mechanized government systems and provides for a standardized method of identifying a given facility at a specific location. The code may be used for a Facility Clearance, a Pre-Award survey, automated Bidders Lists, pay processes, source of supply, etc. In some cases, prime contractors may require their sub-contractors to have a CAGE Code.

Capacity Utilization

The extent to which an enterprise uses its total annual installed manufacturing capacity.

End-User

Entity responsible for the intended application or use of a particular product or service.

Full Time Equivalent (FTE) Employees

Employee in each labor type/function area based on a 40 hour work-week. NASA suppliers should allocate no less than 1/4 of a person to a particular function and also convert part-time employees into "full-time" equivalents, e.g. 10 part-time employees working 20 hours per week for a full 12 month period are the full-time equivalent of 5 full-time employees for that 12 month period.

NAICS Code

North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) codes identify the category of product(s) or service(s) provided by your company. Find NAICS codes at http://www.census.gov/epcd/www/naics.html.

Orbiter

Reusable manned spacecraft used in the Space Transportation System (STS), e.g. Atlantis, Challenger, Columbia, Discovery, and Endeavor. The orbiter, also known as the orbiter vehicle, contains both the astronauts and payload on STS/Space Shuttle missions.

Orion

Manned spacecraft formally known as the Crew Exploration Vehicle (CEV) and part of the Constellation program.

Process/Product Development

R&D development expenditure category dedicated to the systematic use of the knowledge or understanding gained from research or practical experience directed toward the production or significant improvement of useful products, services, processes, or methods, including the design and development of prototypes, materials, devices, and systems. [National Science Foundation]

Space-related

Refers to all product, service and technology categories enumerated in this survey’s Product and Service Type List.

United States

The “United States” or “U.S.” includes the 50 states, Puerto Rico, the District of Columbia, the island of Guam, the Trust Territories, and the U.S. Virgin Islands.

Space Transportation System (STS)

Includes the Space Shuttle and all NASA facility operations in support of Space Shuttle launch. NASA will have performed 134 STS missions from 1982-2010.

Utilization Rate

Percentage measure of production capacity use based on a 7-day-a-week, 3x8 hour shift production schedule.
