  1. National Aeronautics and Space Administration Office of Procurement (OP) Procurement Leadership Meeting (PLM) Takeaways June 24 - 28, 2019 • Takeaways from the June Procurement Leadership Meeting (PLM) will evolve throughout KDP and Stakeholder Engagement Process

  2. Overview / Objective NASA Procurement Leadership F2F Overview • The intent of this chart package is to enable stakeholder engagement regarding OP’s approach for KDP-C and establishing additional details of the framework for enabling a Procurement Enterprise Delivery Model. This approach is the result of an ongoing review that will evolve through stakeholder engagement and KDP Decisions. Objective • Prepare for formal KDP-C package to be submitted to the MAP program office (Aug. 6) with the goal of meeting all KDP-C Exit Criteria during the MSC briefing (Sept. 25, 2019) Working groups presented activities since KDP-B, updates to approaches, demonstration projects, and recommendations to OP leadership. This takeaway package will address the highlights only.

  3. Office of Procurement (OP) / Office of Small Business Programs (OSBP) KDP – B Review Summary: The Mission Support Program Management Council (MSPMC) met on May 21, 2019, to determine if the Mission Support Future Architecture Program’s (MAP) Office of Procurement (OP) and Office of Small Business Program (OSBP) transformation projects are sufficiently mature to proceed into Phase B in accordance with the principles of NPR 7120.7 (currently NID 7120.99). • On May 10, 2017 the EC Decision (EC-2017-05-003) directed the establishment of a phased plan to realign the Agency mission support structure (to include budget authority and lines of reporting) to maintain mission focus, improve efficiency, and ensure local authority, while valuing the workforce. The Mission Support Future Architecture Program (MAP) oversees each mission support functional area project. • OP/OSBP are Phase 2 projects that presented their tailored solution and project plan to arrive at the Key Decision Point (KDP) phase B control gate. The MSPMC made the decision to approve OP/OSBP’s KDP-B and allow the projects to proceed into Phase B after reviewing their project plan, the Independent Review Team’s (IRT) assessment, discussions on OP/OSBP’s approach and consultation by the recommender with the following stakeholders: • OP and OSBP leadership • Center leadership (MAP Roadshow visits, Associate Director telecoms & Leadership Engagement ViTS ) • MAP Program Control Board • Mission Directorate Leadership General Details of Decision: The OP/OSBP project demonstrated its readiness and is approved to proceed into Phase B • The Project principles are in alignment with Program principles. • The future state model is in alignment with the goals of MAP. • The transition strategy meets the intent of the transformation effort. • In preparation for KDP-C, OP and OSBP will work with the MAP Program Office to address recommendations outlined by the IRT.
