23 Feb Small Business Programs Office – (SBPO) Newsletter February 2016 – Vol. 3

JPL SBPO CORNER:

The number one question that is asked of the NASA/JPL Small Business Programs Office (SBPO) is “How Can We Do Business with NASA/JPL?” The real answer is: by establishing, building and maintaining relationships with us! The usual follow-up question is “How Can We Start the Dialogue?” The short answer is: connect with the end-user. The long answer is: we work to match your skills with the needs of the projects. The SBPO team facilitates the introductions, meetings and follow-up.

Although NASA/JPL and our large business partners have various goals within the small business categories, the objective for entering into any effective business relationship is based on “innovating for success.” Small businesses are encouraged to come prepared with solutions they believe are desirable to support NASA/JPL projects and programs. As one scientist indicates, “I need help to win.” The creative ideas for problem-solving are paramount to establishing an ongoing relationship which can lead to future contracts.

NASA OFFICE OF SMALL BUSINESS PROGRAMS:

The NASA Small Business Program holds industry days to reach out to small businesses that may not have had networking opportunities with NASA. Attending one of our industry days will provide the perfect opportunity to seek further information on how you can do business with NASA. Your business could help support our various missions here on earth and into deep space. We encourage small businesses to sign up across the nation no matter what socioeconomic category you may be! http://nasaosbp.blogspot.com/
