5. Area of Interest: Simplified Acquisitions
Historically, each NASA Center awarded and administered simplified acquisitions (the procurement of supplies or services that are over $3.5K and less than $150K).
Beginning in May 2016, select SAT procurements began transitioning to the NSSC. The following were not within the scope of the transition:
New awards with a potential value over $150,000 (even those utilizing simplified acquisition procedures); 
New Indefinite Delivery, Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contracts or Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPAs) that permit the award of orders with a potential value over $150,000; 
Orders under $150,000 issued against an IDIQ contract or BPA retained by the Center (this does not include orders issued against any of the Solutions for Enterprise-Wide Procurement (SEWP) contracts); 
Interagency Agreements; 
Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase III contracts that are retained by the Centers; 
Grants that are retained by the Centers; 
Orders for construction, facility repair or A&E services (PSC codes "C1", "C2", "Y", and "Z"); and 
SAT purchases made by institutional support contractors on behalf of the Agency.
