This event is targeting NASA’s immediate and future subcontracting opportunities for Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) and other Minority Serving Institutions (MSIs). This is an opportunity to network with representatives from NASA and its prime contractors including Aerojet Rocketdyne, Jacobs, Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman Innovation Systems, Teledyne Brown Engineering, The Boeing Company, SAIC and United Launch Alliance among others.
NASA and many of its large business prime contractors will be afforded the opportunity to interact with HBCU/MSI representatives to discuss potential subcontracting opportunities. NASA and the NASA primes, would like to extend a special invitation to the HBCU/MSI community to attend this special networking opportunity. The half-day event is part of an overall NASA initiative designed to increase prime and subcontract opportunities with HBCU/MSIs.
