E-MAIL: Betty Fletcher, TADSBAT@mta-inc.com. WINNING NASA CONTRACTS
NASA Invites All Small Businesses, Small Disadvantaged Businesses,
Historically Black Colleges and Universities and Minority Institutions
to a Course on "Winning NASA Contracts" NASA has designed a course
focusing on areas of business management that are critical for success
in competing for NASA contracts and subcontracts. The NASA course is
known as Training and Development of Small Businesses in Advanced
Technologies (TADSBAT). The Internet Home Page for the NASA Office of
Small and Disadvantaged Business Utilization contains additional
information on this program at: http://www.mta-inc.com BACKGROUND:
NASA's Fiscal Year 1990 Appropriations Bill, Public Law 101-144 and its
amended version Public Law 101-507, included a requirement that the
Agency annually award at least eight percent of the total value of its
contracts and subcontracts to Small Disadvantaged Businesses (SDBs).
In the legislation, the SDB definition was expanded to include small
women-owned businesses, Historically Black Colleges and Universities
and Minority Institutions (e.g.., Tribal College and Hispanic Serving
Institutions). The TADSBAT course was created to enhance the business
management capabilities of these firms and institutions so that they
could successfully compete for and win NASA business. Since 1994, NASA
has provided this training to over 200 businesses with overwhelming
success. The course is offered FREE (no registration fee). ELIGIBILITY
REQUIREMENTS: Participation in the 1999 training has been expanded to
include all small businesses, along with Small Disadvantaged
Businesses (including women-owned), Historically Black College and
Universities and Minority Institutions that possess technical
capabilities related to NASA's mission and the four strategic
enterprises as discussed in NASA's strategic plan at:
