Fleet Maintenance

Vehicle Alterations and Modifications

Alterations and modifications will not be performed on GSA vehicles without GSA approval (41CFR101-39.304). For NASA-owned vehicles, alterations that affect the end use of the vehicle will require the Agency Supply and Equipment Management Officer’s approval (Ref. NPR 4200). Minor modifications costing less than $1,000 may be done at the discretion of the CTO. Extreme caution should be used when modifying any vehicle or piece of equipment due to the potential of adverse and dangerous effects on the handling, operation, and drivability of the vehicle. Also, all modifications must be made without voiding the vehicle’s warranty.
