NASA Vendor Database:
There are a few important databases to research and sign up for to learn more about NASA procurements. The NASA Vendor Data Base (NVDB). This database is open to all vendors, both large and small, who wish to do business with the National Aeronautics and Space Administration. As representatives of their companies, they can post their capability briefs in any format, sign up for messages that will give them information on Source Sought Notices, Requests for Information (RFI) or Request for Proposals (RFP). The database does not limit the number of representatives for each company. You can access at either the OSBP Web site or go directly to
I highly recommend that you establish your company in the NASA Small Business vendor data base.  The data base can be used as a resource for you to locate companies to do business or even to see who your competition may be.  Search vendors by Business Category, DUNS, NAICS, CAGE, State/Province and Zip Code.
