  3. Background • NASA Factoids • ~18,000 civil servants • ~700 contracting personnel (1102s) • Annual budget over $16B • More than 87% of budget contracted out

  4. FY 07 Budget Highlights • $3.1B – Exploration Systems (e.g., Orion, Ares I and V) • $1.8B - Space Operations (e.g., Space Shuttle, International Space Station) • $1.6B - Science (e.g., Mars Rovers, James Webb Space Telescope) • $724M - Aeronautics Research

  5. NASA Areas of Emphasis • Dynamic Environment • Retain critical skilled workers and improve service to current and future customers for: • Remaining Shuttle missions • Space Station Operations beyond Shuttle retirement • Exploration design and specification development, subsequent operations • Integrated approach • Next 4-5 years key to establishing foundation for the future • Must maximize competition • Create flexible contract structures

  6. Procurement Challenges • Strategic Sourcing • Transition from current to future operations (e.g., Shuttle to Exploration) • Workforce • Property • Contracts • Conflict of Interest • “Policy for a Common Identification Standard for Federal Employees and Contractors”—HSPD-12 Implementation • Agency Pricing (cost and price analysis) • Earned Value Management
