§ 1837.102 - Policy.

(a) To the maximum extent practicable, it is the policy of NASA to acquire services on the basis of the task to be performed rather than on a labor-hour basis.

(b) The use of uncompensated overtime (as defined in the provision at 48 CFR 1852.237-72, Identification of Uncompensated Overtime) is neither encouraged nor discouraged. When the proposed uncompensated overtime is consistent with an offeror's written policies and practices, NASA will consider it in proposal evaluation, including the evaluation of cost and of professional compensation (see 48 CFR (FAR) 22.11). The provision at 48 CFR 1852.237-72 requires offerors to identify uncompensated overtime hours and the effective hourly rate for all Fair Labor Standards Act-exempt personnel included in their proposals and subcontractor proposals. This includes uncompensated overtime hours that are in indirect cost pools for personnel whose regular hours are normally charged direct (see 48 CFR 1815.608-72).
