Contracting Agencies
Return to Contracting for Support Personnel

NPS as an entity does not have contracting authority, so we must work with our supporting contracting agency, FISC - San Diego, to ensure our contracting needs are met.

NPS can also request “assisted acquisition” from agencies such as GSA. Recent guidance restricts the use of non-DoD activities for assisted acquisitions. Additional steps are required if the requestor seeks to utilize a non-DoD contract.
