It is the intent of NASA to phase out the use of
Government-owned vehicles by contractors. However, the use of GSA-leased
vehicles will be allowable in exceptional circumstances when it is in
the best interest of the government, but only to the extent provided in
FAR Part 51, Subpart 51.2. Use of GSA vehicles in a fixed price contract
in the performance of a Government contract requires preapproval from
the Administrator of GSA and shall be fully documented.
The
assignment of Government-owned vehicles for performance of a
contract must be thoroughly assessed in all cases as this practice
does not always result in lower overall operational costs.
When
assigned, accurate and complete records will be maintained and
annual utilization studies conducted to validate retention.
Contractors who use Government-owned vehicles are subject to all
fleet management policies contained in this handbook.
