National Aeronautics and Space Administration
Exceeding GoalNASA awards approximately $18 billion in prime contracts annually, spanning space systems engineering, IT, research support, and facility services. NASA's SDVOSB utilization benefits from the agency's distributed contracting model across 10 field centers. Johnson Space Center, Glenn Research Center, and Langley Research Center award significant set-aside IT and professional services contracts. NASA OSBP actively promotes veteran-owned firm participation.

What is NASA's SDVOSB contracting goal?
National Aeronautics and Space Administration's (NASA) SDVOSB prime contracting goal is 3% of total prime contract dollars. In FY2024, NASA achieved 3.4%, which is above goal. This represents approximately $612M in SDVOSB prime contract awards out of $18.0B total.
Which contract vehicles does NASA use for SDVOSB set-asides?
NASA awards SDVOSB set-aside task orders through vehicles including NASA SEWP VI, STARS III, OASIS+, NASA IDIQ Vehicles. SDVOSBs should hold a GSA Schedule and pursue on-ramps to these vehicles to maximize order opportunities at NASA.
How do I pursue SDVOSB contracts at NASA?
To pursue SDVOSB contracts at National Aeronautics and Space Administration, firms should: (1) obtain SBA SDVOSB certification via the MySBA portal, (2) register on SAM.gov with SDVOSB designations, (3) pursue on-ramps to NASA's key vehicles (NASA SEWP VI, STARS III), (4) identify specific contracting offices using USASpending.gov filtered by SDVOSB set-aside type and NASA, and (5) target recompetes in the 18-24 month pre-award window for capture.
What are NASA's SDVOSB programs?
NASA runs the following SDVOSB-focused programs: NASA OSBP SDVOSB Outreach; NASA Center SDVOSB Set-Aside Awards. These programs include outreach events, matchmaking, and active set-aside award initiatives targeting veteran-owned small businesses.
