NATIONAL AERONAUTICS AND SPACE ADMINISTRATION
 

NASA FAR Supplement (NFS); Availability in Electronic Form

AGENCY: Office of Procurement, Procurement Policy Division, National 
Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA).

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: The National Aeronautics and Space Administration is 
announcing the availability of the NASA FAR Supplement in electronic 
form in order to satisfy requests for an electronic copy of the 
publication. With appropriate software, users will be able to search 
the copy using keywords.

ADDRESSES: Requests for NFS Version 89.16 should be sent by electronic 
mail addressed to: [e-mail]

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Dave Beck [phone].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under 42 U.S.C. 2473(c)(1), notice is given 
that NFS Version 89.16, effective September 30, 1994, is available in 
WordPerfect 5.1. For as long as we can accommodate requests, a copy 
will be sent by e-mail, without charge, to anyone sending an e-mail 
request. We are supplying the NFS by e-mail until we place the NFS on 
Internet.
    The electronic copy contains the text that is used to produce the 
loose-leaf version of the NFS. The NFS is also published in 48 CFR 
Chapter 18. Efforts are made to minimize the differences between the 
loose-leaf version and 48 CFR Chapter 18. However, neither the 
electronic copy nor the loose-leaf version are a substitute for the 
Code of Federal Regulations or the Federal Register.
    The copy supplied by e-mail will be a compressed file of 964 
kilobytes along with shareware (pkunzip.exe, 30 kilobytes) for 
decompressing the file. When the file is ``unzipped'' it becomes 122 
WordPerfect 5.1 files (plus a README file) totalling 3 megabytes. 
Persons using WordPerfect 5.1, or software capable of converting from 
WordPerfect 5.1, should be able to search the text of the 122 files 
using keywords.

(Caution: When converted to ASCII, some text and most tables are 
difficult to read. We will try to improve later versions of the NFS 
to eliminate this problem.)
Tom Luedtke,
Deputy Associate Administrator for Procurement.
