Frequently Asked Questions

How do I find contracts with NASA?

Search SAM.gov for active National Aeronautics and Space Administration solicitations. Monitor the NASA procurement forecast published annually. Register in the System for Award Management (SAM.gov) and set up saved searches for relevant NAICS codes.

Does NASA require CMMC?

No. CMMC is a Department of Defense program (32 CFR part 170) imposed through the DFARS clause at 252.204-7021, so it does not reach National Aeronautics and Space Administration contracts. NASA solicitations may carry their own cybersecurity requirements — read the solicitation: https://www.acquisition.gov/dfars/252.204-7021-contractor-compliance-cybersecurity-maturity-model-certification-level-requirements.

What are the top NAICS codes for NASA contracts?

The most commonly used NAICS codes for National Aeronautics and Space Administration contracts include 541715, 541330, 541511, 336414, 541380. These codes cover the primary contracting areas for NASA. Check SAM.gov for specific opportunities under each code.
