Frequently Asked Questions

Q. When are vehicles due for replacement?

A. For GSA vehicles, GSA has minimum replacement standards addressed in the Federal Property Management Regulation Section 102-34.280 which can be accessed at www.gsa.gov. NASA-owned vehicles should be replaced when they are no longer economical to maintain. Individual Centers are encouraged to use a Life Cycle Costing Analysis to establish general life expectancy in years and miles for each vehicle type.
