NASA Mission Directorates (How We Do Business) AERONAUTICS RESEARCH EXPLORATION SYSTEMS DEVELOPMENT SPACE OPERATIONS SCIENCE SPACE TECHNOLOGY MISSION SUPPORT DIRECTORATE Responsible for enabling sustained human exploration missions and operations in our solar system. NASA s Space Operations Mission Directorate (SOMD) manages NASA s current and future space operations in and beyond low-Earth orbit, including commercial launch services to the International Space Station. Engages the Nation's science community, sponsors scientific research, and develops and deploys satellites and probes in collaboration with NASA's partners around the world. Technology drives exploration to the Moon, Mars and beyond. NASA s Space Technology Mission Directorate (STMD) develops transformative space technologies to enable future missions. Provide effective and efficient institutional support to enable successful accomplishment of NASA mission objectives. Research directly benefits today's air transportation system, the aviation industry, and the passengers and businesses who rely on aviation every day. Responsible for the progress in designing and building capabilities to explore a variety of deep space destinations. 5

Strengthening Program and Project Management Practice Chief Program Management Office Create a more robust structure for Acquisition Planning Develop NASA-wide Project Management Community of Practice Focus Areas Focus on Commitments made at Key Decision Points Build in Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Accessibility Strengthen Project Management Performance Strengthen Standing Review Boards
Assessing Performance of NASA s Major Projects Administrator Deputy Administrator (CAO) Associate Administrator (COO) Deputy Administrator (DA) designated as NASA Chief Acquisition Officer (CAO)* Office of Procurement Deputy CAO and Senior Procurement Executive Chief Program Management Officer The Assistant Administrator for Procurement serves as Deputy CAO; reports to the DA The Associate Administrator (AA) serves as the Chair of NASA s two primary management councils that oversee Acquisition decisions, including for major projects: the Acquisition Strategy Council, and the Agency Program Management Council Mission Directorates NASA Centers The Chief Program Management Officer position created, combining the role of the Program Management Improvement Officer* and program management responsibilities previously held by NASA s Chief Engineer; reports to the AA. Mission Directorates develop acquisition strategies and manage the program/project portfolios at Headquarters Program/Project Managers execute programs and projects at various NASA Centers Note: This chart reflects the updated roles and relationships with respect to NASA Acquisition oversight; other organizations within NASA also play important roles in the acquisition process *The Chief Acquisition Officer role is required under 41 U.S.C. Section 1702(b)); the Program Management Improvement Officer is required under the Performance Management Improvement Accountability Act.
Acquisition Forecast Enhancements NASA s Acquisition Forecast identifies all known contract opportunities in excess of the SAT in support of early engagement Recent enhancements resulted in NASA s rating on the annual PSC Federal Business Forecast Scorecard being raised from Fair in 2019 to Good in 2022 Enhancements NASA is now 1 of 17 Agency s with the highest possible rating of Good out of the 62 Agencies reviewed http://www.hq.nasa.gov/office/procurement /forecast/index.html 9
