Instructions on Flagging a Current Posting Note on
Modifications A temporary work around for changing a non- ARRA
posting to ARRA. 15
Slide 16
Note on Modifications Due to limitations with the Federal
Systems, an action cannot be flagged as a ARRA action after it is
posted. Therefore, the Recovery Flag and Title fields are locked
and cannot be changed on a Modification. A temporary work around
until this limitation is removed is provided on the following
slide. An example, of the locked fields on the Modification
worksheet is below. 16
Slide 17
A temporary work around for changing a non-Recovery posting to
Recovery A temporary work around until this limitation is removed
is as follows: 1.Keep original synopsis and solicitation open
2.Continue to make non-Recovery awards off of the original posting
as usual 3.Post a new synopsis as a Recovery action. 4.Indicate the
relationship of the new posting to the original Explain in the
description box so offerors know under what authority NASA is
asking them for proposals and will make awards Include a link for
the original posting in the Recovery posting Use the same
solicitation number for the new Recovery posting as the original
posting plus an extension (i.e., -1), for example: The original
solicitation number is NNH09ZEA001N, the new solicitation number
will be NNH09ZEA001N-1 17
