Public Comments Discussion
NASA published a request for public
comment in the Federal Register at 87
FR 10257 on February 23, 2022, on
proposed implementation of a new term
and condition that requires recipients of
NASA financial assistance to obtain a
quotation from a small and/or minority
business, women’s business enterprise,
or labor surplus area firm when the
acquisition of goods or services exceeds
the simplified acquisition threshold.
NASA received 36 comments from
individual citizens, large and small
businesses, colleges and universities,
and other non-profit organizations. All
comments were carefully reviewed and
considered prior to finalizing the term
and condition.
NASA received five comments in
support of the term and condition where
commenters commended NASA for
their effort to diversify, promote
equality and social responsibility
associated with NASA, while inspiring
future generations to pursue their
passions in Science, Technology,
Engineering and Math research.
Response: NASA recognizes and
supports the importance of diversity in
its policies and programs and continues
to work to identify and overcome
barriers that hinder equitable, inclusive
access by individuals or communities to
the resources and opportunities that
make all of NASA’s work possible.
NASA received six comments/
questions, including one duplicate,
regarding applicability and waivers for
businesses who may not be able to meet
this new requirement. Response: The
new term and condition applies to ALL
NASA grant and cooperative agreement
award recipients, regardless of the
business types. Furthermore, NASA will
not extend waivers for this requirement.
Recipients are required to maintain
documentation on file indicating why it
is impossible to obtain a quote from a
small/minority owned business,
women’s business enterprise, or labor
surplus area firm. NASA received two
comments/questions regarding
partnership and contracting with NASA.
Response: The NASA Office of Small
Business programs (https://
www.nasa.gov/osbp) provides resource
information on how to do business with
NASA. Also, NASA’s notice of funding
opportunities are accessible on the
NASA Solicitation and Proposal
Integrated Review and Evaluation
System (NSPIRES) (https://

SUMMARY:

Background
On January 25, 2021, President Biden
issued Executive Order (E.O.) 13985,
Advancing Racial Equity and Support
for Underserved Communities Through
the Federal Government, outlining a
comprehensive approach to advancing
equity for all, including people of color
and others who have been historically
underserved, marginalized, and
adversely affected by persistent poverty
and inequality. Given that advancing
equity requires a systematic approach to
embedding fairness in the decisionmaking process, the E.O. instructs
agencies to recognize and work to
redress inequities in their policies and
programs that serve as barriers to equal
opportunity.
In response to E.O. 13985, NASA has
taken a few actions, including
implementing a new term and
condition, that ensure entities funded
by NASA are compliant with the
procurement standards in the uniform
guidance 2 CFR 200.321, Contracting

comments from commenters who are
opposed to the implementation of the
term and condition, citing that this new
requirement would place an
administrative burden on NASA grant
recipients and an unfair advantage to
certain business owners. Response:
NASA’s proposed term and condition
aligns with 2 CFR 200.321, Contracting
with small and minority businesses,
women’s business enterprises, and labor
surplus area firms, which requires nonfederal entities to take all necessary
steps to ensure the use of minority
businesses, women’s business
enterprises, and labor surplus area
firms. Furthermore, 2 CFR 200.318(i),
General procurement standards,
requires non-Federal entities ‘‘to
maintain records sufficient to detail the
history of their procurements. The
records include but are not limited to
the rationale for the method of
procurement, selection of contract type,
contractor selection or rejection, and the
basis for the contract price’’. NASA
received four comments with proposed
recommendations for ensuring that the
new term and condition is effectively
implemented. Response: NASA will
consider the proposed
recommendations as it develops its
advanced monitoring plan, which is
intended to provide an oversight of
NASA grants as well as ensure
recipients’ compliance with NASA grant
policy requirements. NASA received
four comments from commenters
expressing views outside of the
proposed term and condition. Response:
These comments are outside the scope
of the Federal Register Notice and do
not relate to the proposed term and
condition.
The full text of the new term and
condition is provided below:
Requirement To Obtain a Quotation
From Small and/or Minority
Businesses, Women’s Business
