OSI Divisions
Environmental Management Division
The Environmental Management Division (ED) provides executive and functional leadership, policy, oversight, and coordination for NASA institutional and programmatic environmental issues directed toward enabling the NASA mission, assisting Centers, advancing environmental stewardship, and ensuring environmental statutory and regulatory compliance. ED is responsible for: (a) Providing direct mission support by integrating environmental considerations into programs and projects; (b) Proactively reducing NASA’s exposure to institutional, and (c) Pursuing environmental initiatives designed to restore, protect, and enhance mission resources.
Facilities and Real Estate Division
The Facilities and Real Estate Division is responsible for overseeing Agency real property assets, including over 5,000 facilities and 300,000 acres; functional leadership for facility planning and engineering; facility construction and repair; facility maintenance and operations; and real estate management. The Division ensures NASA’s facilities are integral to the NASA mission; are the right type and size; are available when needed; and are safe, secure, and environmentally sound. In addition to leadership, the Division provides consulting, a wide range of enabling and analysis tools, and insight for creative and innovative risk management of NASA’s real property.
Headquarters Support Services Division
The Headquarters Support Services Division is responsible for maintaining the operational capabilities necessary for the execution of NASA HQ’s programs and projects.
The Logistics Management Division (LMD) provides oversight of personal property held worldwide by NASA and its contractors (including grantees) and facilitates efficient and economical transportation solutions for NASA’s mission and its employees. Center logistics operations have a direct impact on NASA’s missions, primarily through institutional services that support Agency programs, projects, facilities, and management activities. LMD serves as the “corporate office” for Center logistics operations by developing Agency-wide policies, processes, and systems; providing technical guidance and expertise; facilitating the use of Government and industry best practices; and serving as an advocate for the reform of regulations and laws that burden the logistics community. LMD provides leadership in the functional areas of supply and materials management; equipment management; contract property management; transportation, travel, and vehicle fleet management; and property utilization and disposal management. In addition, the Division seeks to mitigate the risk to NASA’s mission associated with private sector labor unrest through the Contractor industry relations program and promotes NASA employee morale and welfare through its oversight of the Employee Exchange Program.
The NASA Ombuds Program was established in 2005 as an informal, independent, confidential, and neutral means of communicating safety, organizational performance, and mission-related issues and facilitating their resolution without fear of retaliation. All NASA Centers and the Jet Propulsion Laboratory have Ombuds who will listen to an employee’s issues, explore options, and weigh the pros and cons of various options for resolution. The Ombuds reports to the Center Heads at each site.
Space Environment Testing Management Office
The Space Environments Testing Management Office provides leadership, oversight, and management of NASA’s shared capability assets to ensure their availability and readiness to support NASA and National mission needs. The Space Environments Testing Management Division is a corporately managed program that selects capabilities or types of assets (“asset classes”) for prioritized investment and centralized management to support cross-agency needs. Additionally, the Program will identify and prioritize its critical assets and make strategic investment decisions to replace, modify, or disposition them based on need.
