13. PP&C Lessons Learned
• Start-up is hard
• Concurrent initiation AND accomplishment of work takes time
and talent
– Best practice – develop a plan and enact the plan
• Staffing is always key
• Develop requirements first – then review for accuracy
• Don’t underestimate the time it takes to coordinate among
stakeholders
• Don’t underestimate the number of stakeholders
• Solicit feedback from external parties and greybeards
• Policy enactment is more complicated than policy
development
• Open communication is a force multiplier

14. Program Contracts
Integration
Project Management Challenge
Wayne Thomas
Chief, Contracts Integration Office
15. Acquisition Management Challenge
• Programs supported by multiple NASA Centers have an
integration challenge to maintain a strategic program
focus in contracts
• Contracts are typically awarded and managed at the
project level by center procurement offices supporting
the individual projects
• Need to ensure that Program and Agency objectives are
supported by the Program’s contracts
• Need to ensure that contracts operate together in an
efficient and cohesive fashion to successfully execute
the Program

17. Program Level Contract Integration
• CxP maintains a Program-level interface for
acquisitions across NASA with a dedicated
contracts integration function
• Staff function within PP&C office
– Provides single point for acquisition related matters at
the Program level
– Program level acquisition interface with Level 3
projects and with HQ Mission Directorates and Office
of Procurement
17
18. Contracts Integration office
• Contracts Integration
– Primary role is interface with CxP contracting offices at the
various centers
– Facilitate Program-level understanding of and consistency in
strategic contract features and processes
– Facilitate Program-level approvals
– Integrate relevant Program procurement information
– Support Agency-level acquisition planning for the Program
• Does not perform Contracting Office functions:
– Execute or manage contracts
– Focus is on programmatic issues not on procurement processes
and regs
18
19. Agency Strategic Acquisition Planning
• Program acquisition strategy must consider the broader
agency impacts of the planned acquisitions
• Outcomes of a good strategy
– Cost effective execution of projects and programs
– Facilitate workforce transitions
– Maintain key NASA in-house capabilities
– Support NASA procurement tenets
– Help support Agency goal of ten healthy centers
• Agency-level reviews ensure broader aspects are
considered
– ESMD/SOMD Joint Integration Control Board (JICB) acquisition
reviews
– Acquisition Strategy Meeting (ASM) - 7120.5D milestone
19
20. Lessons Learned
• Understand the difference between the contracts integration
role and the procurement office role – they should be
complimentary
• Key to success is communication –
– Resist creating new Level 2 reporting or approval of requirements
– Use existing communication forums and data sources to the
maximum extent
• There are many stakeholders and they can have different
interests and priorities for acquisition strategies
– Expect acquisition strategy to evolve and mature to meet the broad
range of project, program, and agency needs
– Pre-briefs are useful to frame issues and develop the acquisition
strategy

24. NPR 7120.5D Lessons Learned
• Thoroughly study the NPR 7120.5D requirements and associated
documentation
• Your customers are the Convening Authorities –
– Know what they want
• Document your internal and independent review processes,
– Identify implementation of requirements
• Do not hold the SRB Site Review before you have a validated,
integrated technical, cost and schedule baseline
• Proactively set the agenda for the SRB Site Review
– Set the stage, boundaries, objectives
• Although NPR 7120.5D requirements can be “document centric,” the
SRB is not all that interested in your documents
• Find a way to minimize the overhead of providing data to the SRB
• Understand the capabilities and limitations of the confidence level
tools you are using

27. Driving Conditions for Constellation
• Program stood-up after Ares and Orion projects
• Agency re-alignment of policies and assignments
– Concurrent with Program start-up
– Ten healthy centers
– 7120.5 Rev D issuance
• Performance measurement tools actively in design and
development
– EVMS
– Confidence levels
– Standing review boards
• Shuttle Program definition of retirement evolving
– Resultant transfer of fixed costs
Fortunately . . . . . political support remained strong
