3. NASA SSC Overview White House Small Business Initiatives
Meeting at White House concerning small business procurement –
Jan 10, NASA, DOD, DOE, HHS, VA, GSA , DHS
Attended by NASA Administrator and Associate Administrator Office of Small Business Programs (OSBP)
OSBP participates in bi-weekly conference calls with the White House Public Affairs Office and also attends quarterly White House meetings along with the Administrator
Next quarterly meeting is June 29th
Administrator will brief how NASA will increase our SDVOSB and HUBZone contract awards for the end of FY11 and FY12.
NASA considering holding two Agency Industry Days specifically targeting SDVOSB and HUBZone contractors.
Right before the Christmas holiday last year, each of the 7 Agency heads received an “invitation” to a meeting at the White House. No, it was not to attend the President’s New Year’s Eve party. Of course, it didn’t allow much time for any up front preparation, since many of the folks were out on vacation. The meeting was held, and NASA was represented by our Administrator Charlie Bolden and Glenn Delgado, the Associate Administrator Office of Small Business Programs .
Among the items discussed were each agency’s statistics on how they were doing in their SB program, what were some of the obstacles each agency faced , which of course one of NASA’s biggest obstacles is finding the right small business for our missions.
At the next quarterly meeting, Charlie Bolden will brief the White House on how NASA will increase our SDVOSB and HUBZone awards for the remainder of this fiscal year, and also in FY12. One idea is to conduct two NASA Wide industry days, one targeting each of the two small business subcategories.
As part of Stennis’s initiative in this area, the Stennis Business Consortium put a call out for SDVOSB and HUBZone companies to conduct capability briefings and we will have a few firms doing that after today’s SBC meeting.
