NASA Procedural Requirements

NPR 8820.2H Effective Date: September 27, 2022 Expiration Date: September 27, 2027

Subject: Facility Project Requirements (FPR) (Updated w/Change 1)

Responsible Office: Office of Strategic Infrastructure

Preface

P.1 Purpose

This NASA Procedural Requirements (NPR) provides the minimum requirements for planning, approving, and acquiring all NASA Facility Projects with an approved facility project cost estimate (AFPCE) for construction of $100,000 or greater (excluding maintenance work). This document implements the criteria established in the NASA Policy Directive (NPD) 8820.2, Design and CoF, by supplementing the policies and requirements per NPD 7120.4, NASA Engineering and Program/Project Management Policy and per NPR 7120.7, NASA Information Technology (IT) Program and Project Management Requirements, with specific facility planning, design, construction, and commissioning requirements.

P.2 Applicability

a. This NPR applies to NASA Headquarters (HQ) and NASA Centers, including Component Facilities and Technical and Service Support Centers, for all sources of construction funding including CoF funding provided by Programs. In addition, this NPR applies to the Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL), a Federally-funded research and development center, and other contractor facilities to the extent specified or referenced in their contracts. For the rest of this document, the term "Centers" refers to NASA Centers, Component Facilities, and JPL. It also applies to non-NASA-owned facilities constructed on NASA real estate unless the NASA HQ Facilities and Real Estate Division (FRED) waives the requirement.

b. In this NPR, all mandatory actions (i.e., requirements) are denoted by statements using the term "shall." The terms: "may" or "can" denote discretionary privilege or permission, "should" denotes a good practice and is recommended but not required, "will" denotes expected outcome, and "are/is" denotes descriptive material.

c. All document citations in this NPR refer to the latest version of the document unless otherwise noted.

d. Documents cited as authority, applicable, or reference documents may be cited as a different categorization, which characterizes its function in relation to the specific context.

P.5 Measurement/Verification

a. FRED verifies compliance with the requirements of this NPR by conducting annual CoF program reviews at Centers. For the CoF reviews, FRED identifies a random selection of CoF projects from the Centers and then reviews project documentation and interviews project managers and project stakeholders for those projects. In addition, Centers document compliance with this NPR by completing a Compliance Matrix (Appendix C) for every facility project and submitting the completed Compliance Matrix to FRED upon request.

b. FRED provides oversight of CoF projects through the designated role of Executive Project Manager (EPM). The EPM provides high-level support and guidance to Center Facility Project Managers (FPMs) for projects that represent a potential of high financial risk to the Agency.
