Action Team for Procurement Issues

AGENCY: National Aeronautics and Space Administration.

ACTION: Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: Notice is given of the establishment of the FY 1997 NASA/
Industry Process Action Team. NASA is soliciting the names of NASA 
Contractor personnel who desire to serve on this team.

DATES: Requests for membership must be received on or before November 
30, 1996.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

DC 20546, telephone [phone].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Associate Administrator for Procurement 
has established a working group of NASA and industry representatives 
called the NASA/Industry Process Action Team (PAT). The PAT provides a 
forum for the examination and discussion of issues and concerns 
associated with improving the operational aspects of current 
procurement policies and procedures. Members are afforded the 
opportunity to identify issues and concerns to be addressed by NASA 
during the PAT's tenure and to provide their individual or 
organizational viewpoints on procurement policy and procedure changes 
developed by NASA. Based on the issues and concerns discussed during 
the PAT meetings, PAT members may be asked to assist in the 
presentation of an industry-wide conference on procurement issues. 
Membership is open to NASA contractors of any size willing to commit 
two people (primary/alternate) for a one year term. The planned PAT 
will consist of approximately 20 members from industry, both large and 
small businesses, four NASA representatives, and a member from a law 
firm with Government contracts experience. The PAT will meet quarterly, 
unless the number and complexity of policy issues under consideration 
merit more frequently meetings. NASA contractors and law firms that 
desire membership on the PAT should send their membership requests to 
the individual listed under the caption FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT 
not later than November 30, 1996. Each membership request should 
indicate the size status of the firm and the extent of its business 
base with NASA.
Thomas J. O'Toole,
NASA/Industry PAT Chairperson.
