COMMERCE BUSINESS DAILY ISSUE OF NOVEMBER 14,1995 PSA#1472JPL GOES TO WASHINGTON POC Lamont Hames tel: 202/358-2088. NASA will
host an Open House for small businesses interested in doing business
with the Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL). JPL is NASA's lead center for
deep space automated exploratory research. Located in Pasadena, CA, JPL
has an annual budget of over $1 billion dollars. JPL is an operating
arm of the California Institute of Technology (CalTech). CalTech has
been the prime contractor managing the laboratory since its inception.
JPL is committed to doing business with the small business community
and seeks to expand its supplier base for present and future technical
requirements. The purpose of this program is to introduce high-tech
small and minority businesses that are interested in doing business
with JPL but may lack resources to market the Lab or attend its annual
high-tech conference. Special emphasis will be placed on identifying
high-tech firms that are socio-economically disadvantaged or
woman-owned. Further emphasis will be placed on firms that have not
obtained a NASA/JPL contract or have limited NASA/JPL experience. This
is necessary so that NASA/JPL can further (1) identify capable
high-tech firms to increase the pool from which we can draw, and (2)
adhere to the Memorandum of Understanding between NASA and the Small
Business Administration to do business with 8(a) firms who have not yet
obtained a Government contract. The Open House will take place on
Wednesday, November 29, 1995, at 8:00 AM (registration) at the NASA
Headquarters Auditorium, 300 E Street, SW, Washington, DC (near the
Federal Center South West Metro Station). RSVP is encouraged by calling
(818) 354-2121, or (818) 354-7531, or fax, (818) 354-4152. For
additional information, please call Lamont Hames, Office of Small and
Disadvantaged Business Utilization, at (202) 358-2088, or
(800)2NASA-95. This information is also available on the Internet at
