Vehicle Acquisition

Vehicle Replacement Schedule by Class

Vehicle replacement plans will be developed annually for all vehicles in the inventory. For GSA vehicles, this plan will be developed in time to meet their procurement cycle, normally starting in October of each year. It is recommended that Centers develop 5-year replacement funding plans in order to help predict the peaks and valleys in procurement funding needs for all NASA-owned vehicles (see Preface section P3 for definition of the fleet).
