CHAPTER 3. Procedure

3.1 Procedures

3.1.1 The procedures consist of precontract activities and postaward activities, which are discussed in the two chapters that follow. These procedures are intended to augment the EVMIG.

3.1.2 NASA recognizes Industry's EVMS as a replacement for the Department of Defense's (DoD) Cost/Schedule System Criteria (C/SSC) and supports its initiative to move toward a process that conforms to the ISO 9000 Quality Standard.

3.1.3 Consistent with the NASA FAR Supplement 1852, the concept of contractor self-certification is not acceptable.

3.1.4 NASA Centers and JPL are strongly encouraged to expand cooperation and partnering with the DCMA and the contractor with respect to EVM compliance and surveillance review processes.
