NASA OSBP FY2018 Update

The NASA Office of Small Business Programs has had a busy and productive year so far. At the NASA Industry Forum in March, we announced our Agency-level Small Business Industry Award winners and presented them with their awards in front of their peers and the NASA small business team. I extend my congratulations and thanks to our winners:

Small Business Prime Contractor of the Year: Omitron, Inc.

Small Business Subcontractor of the Year: Metis Technology Solutoins, Inc.

Large Business Prime of the Year: Science Applications International Corporation (SAIC)

Mentor-Protégé Agreement of the Year: URS Federal Services, Inc. (Mentor) & Seabrook Solutions LLC. (Protégé)

Last week, we held the HBCU/MI Technology Infusion Road Tour at Clark Atlanta. I’ve spoken to these Road Tours before, but I am continuously impressed with the relationships from these events that produce actual results. Our office’s time at Clark Atlanta was no different. Thank you to those who made this event possible and we’re looking forward to continuing the Road Tour in August at University of Hawaii at Mānoa. If you or your school are interested in hosting a Road Tour, please feel free to reach out to us at smallbusiness@nasa.gov.

Finally, we’ve kicked off our Small Business Learning Series – webinars aimed at the small business community that contain invaluable information. We’ve collected a great group of speakers to help answer some of the frequently asked questions from the industry and are providing a unique opportunity to ask questions directly to subject matter experts. Our upcoming trainings can be found at https://osbp.nasa.gov/knowledge-portal.html.

We look forward to a continued strong year as we head into spring and I look forward to working with you soon.
