Contractors will no longer be submitting the NF1018 PDF form. Instead, contractors will log into NESS (NASA Form 1018 Electronic Submission System) for Contractors to input property data directly into the application. Use this procedure to request contract access or view a listing of your contracts in NESS for Contractors.

Trigger

Perform this procedure to obtain access to contracts or view contract information in NESS for Contractors.

Prerequisites

• A role in NESS for Contractors is required:

  • Guest accounts must be created for contractors without NASA identities. If you have not received your guest account credentials via email, please contact your Industrial Property Officer (IPO), who will create your guest account and/or re-send your credentials.

  • However, contractors with full NASA identities do not require guest accounts.

    • Full NASA identities must submit a NAMS request for the IT Asset "NF1018 Electronic Submission System (NESS)," requesting the role NESS Contractor.

    • If you are unable to access https://nams.nasa.gov to submit a NAMS request, please contact your Industrial Property Officer (IPO), who will submit a request on your behalf.

• If you are not assigned to any contracts, your screen will be blank. You must request access to specific contracts to view their data. If you can already see the data you require, you have been proactively assigned to the contract, and you do not have to request access.
