essage to new and prospective NASA contractors
This handbook is designed to promote a better
understanding of NASA's interests and the process of
doing business with NASA. We seek your products and
services—whether they are in the form of basic material
or an abstract idea, fabricated component production,
construction or manufacturing capability, or a
specialized service. NASA purchases all of these
and more.
Your expertise, potential, and willingness to
participate in the advancement of aeronautical and
space science and technology (through research,
manufacturing efforts, or support services/products) are
essential for accomplishing NASA's missions. I hope
you will agree that NASA is open to your proposals
when you read this publication and discover all the
opportunities NASA offers.
We welcome your personal or written inquiry and
trust that your marketing endeavors with NASA will be
mutually profitable and fruitful.

he National Aeronautics and Space Administration
(NASA) was established by the National Aeronautics and
Space Act of 1958 to plan, direct, and conduct
aeronautical and space activities for peaceful purposes
for the benefit of all mankind. NASA's goals in space are
to develop technology to make operations more effective;
to enlarge the range of practical applications of space
technology and data; and to investigate the Earth and its
immediate surroundings, the natural bodies in our solar
system, and the origins and physical processes of the
universe. In aeronautics, NASA seeks to improve
aerodynamics, structures, engines, and overall
performance of aircraft, as well as to make them more
efficient, more compatible with the environment, and
safer. This chapter acquaints prospective contractors
with the organizational structure of NASA and briefly
describes the major technical program offices and
selected staff offices at the Headquarters level.
