E-MAIL: A. Vernon Vann, A.V.VANN@larc.nasa.gov. NASA Langley Research Center is seeking 3 to 5 small disadvantaged and small disadvantaged women-owned businesses to participate in the NASA Aero-Space Technology Small Disadvantaged Business Quarterly Forum. The forum will be held at NASA Langley Research Center, Hampton, VA on July 15, 1999. In partnership with NASA's Office of Aero-Space Technology and the Office of Small and Disadvantaged Business Utilization, Langley Research Center hosts annual forums where certain high tech small disadvantaged businesses (SDBs) deliver technical presentations to senior Langley managers and NASA prime contractors regarding their technical capability related to Langley programs. Langley is seeking to identify high-tech SDBs to participate in the upcoming forum with expertise in the areas described below. The forums are a means of identifying high-tech SDBs capable of participating in Langley's most complex programs as future contractors and subcontractors. Langley is NASA's "Center of Excellence" for structures and materials. Langley's research and technology competency areas are aerodynamics and aerothermodynamics; airborne systems; atmospheric sciences; structures, materials and systems engineering. Langley has the agency lead role in the Aviation Safety Program focused on a effort in aviation safety to contribute to the national goal by developing technology to improve aviation safety by reducing both aircraft accident and fatality rates. The program will also develop and integrate information technologies needed to build a safer aviation system to pilots and air traffic controllers, as well as provide information to assess situations and trends that might indicate unsafe conditions before they lead to accidents. Langley's mission is to develop airframe and synergistic spaceframe systems technologies to assure preminence of the U.S. civil and militaryn aeronautics and space industries in alliance with the global community. Langley pioneers scientific understanding of the Earth's atmosphere to preserve the environment. Respondents are invited to submit capability statements and other information that provides evidence of their technical expertise in areas that relate to Langley's mission. Selection of participants for the forum is solely at the discretion of Langley. No expenses for participation will be reimbursed by the government.
