  1. NASA/Goddard Space Flight Center’s (GSFC) Procurement Operations Division (POD) All Hands Meeting May 8, 2019

  2. Agenda • 2018 Year in Review • Division Priorities for 2019 • Code 210 Annual Procurement Awards Presentation

  3. Past/Current Year Challenges • Significant resources expended to support Agency MAP working groups and other ongoing activities (e.g., Communities of Practice, policy development), drawing resources away from current requirements • Agency MAP initiative on contract consolidations for institutional product service lines (PIC 18-01) requires coordination with HQ, increases lead times

  4. Past/Current Year Challenges • Number and complexity of Source Evaluation Boards (SEB’s), including protests (e.g., SMAS, HITSS), creates significant drain on resources • High demands from requirements personnel for flexible contracting mechanisms, faster turnaround times (e.g., CLPS) • Reduced budgets for training, resulting in fewer training opportunities • Retirements/loss of key expertise • Government Shutdown resulted in loss of productivity, delayed procurements, additional work due to request for equitable adjustments, etc. • PPS system issues continue to impact productivity • High volume of work, continuing to lead the Agency in number of actions processed

  5. Highlights: Our People Feedback from NASA HQ, Center Management, requirements organizations, and industry continues to be positive. • Kudos from Center management & requirements organizations for Code 210’s responsiveness and flexibility in meeting their needs – flight projects, sciences, institutional, NASA HQ • Code 210 employees recognized by HQ Office of Procurement for expertise and overall quality of service – in all areas: operations, policy, training & career development, systems, small business • Heavy Code 210 representation on MAP Procurement working groups, at request of HQ • Procurement continues to be well-represented on numerous Center level committees and activities • Code 210 continues to have a “seat at the table” at Code 100 staff meetings, Executive Retreats, etc. • Industry recognition/appreciation for open communications, informative debriefings, and overall high level of procurement expertise Thank you for your professionalism and dedication to quality!
