contractor at the direction of GSFC (Contractor Acquired Property (CAP)) that is retained as governmentowned
equipment by GOES-R/NESDIS.

any NASA GOES-R contract.
• Ensure that each NASA GOES-R contractor provides the annual NASA Form 1018, Financial
Reporting of NASA Property in the Custody of Contractors and that a copy is provided to the
NESDIS Program Office.
• Provide a list of any such property to the GOES-R Program Property Manager prior to any
disposition of such property

Notify GSFC property management organization of any property on the Inventory Schedule list of which
they may want to take possession and provide shipping instructions.
GOES-R/NESDIS may take possession of their property at any time under any circumstance, except that
NASA shall have the opportunity to transfer data from computers prior to such action.
