At every opportunity with small businesses, I emphasize one
of NASA’s best practices, the Consolidated Acquisition Forecast. We are excited
to announce that, as of September 2013, the forecast has undergone an update
with valuable new information.
I discussed at length during the last
format update what was included in this powerful tool. For those unaware,
it is NASA policy to put together a forecast of expected contracting
opportunities for each fiscal year. This forecast is updated semiannually. We
have taken advantage of Microsoft Excel’s pivot table feature to make this
quick and easy to use tool for large and small businesses alike to plan
ahead for procurement opportunities.
As I’ve said before, the Acquisition Forecast can always be
found at http://www.hq.nasa.gov/office/procurement/forecast/index.html or
NASA's Office of
Procurement and OSBP websites.
We’re always looking to improve on ways to reach small businesses. The
Acquisition forecast is a great way to view upcoming procurements, but if you
have a suggestion on how we can make it even better, feel free to
comment.
