NASA ACQUISITIONS AVAILABLE OVER THE INTERNET Contact Michael Lalla, 505-524-5162, Rick Glover/GP12, 205-544-0288, or Jim Bradford/GP12, 205-544-0306. NASA ACQUISITIONS AVAILABLE OVER THE INTERNET, NASA is now posting all competitive acquisitions over $25,000 for online retrieval over the Internet. NASA's World-Wide Web service is called the NASA Acquisition Internet Service (NAIS). Posted in electronic format on the NAIS are synopses of new acquisitions, which are in the same format as those in the Commerce Business Daily, and the solicitation files, available immediately upon release. Other current procurement information can be retrieved from the NAIS, including FY96 acquisition forecasts, active contract data, small business assistance, the NASA FAR Supplement, and links to other federal procurement sites on the Internet. The NAIS was established under NASA's Midrange Pilot Program, a streamlining initiative for acquisitions falling between the simplified acquisition threshold and $1,000,000. The service was expanded this year to include all acquisitions over $25,000. NASA has been granted a waiver from synopsizing Midrange acquisitions up to $500,000 in the Commerce Business Daily; the synopses and solicitations of those acquisitions can be retrieved only from the Internet. All other synopses continue to be posted in the Commerce Business Daily in addition to the Internet. The NAIS Uniform Resource Locator (URL), or ``Internet address'' is ``http://procure.msfc.nasa.gov/nasaproc.html'' (do not include the quotation marks).
