Firms on Two Coasts to Provide NASA R&D Services
NASA has selected a woman-owned small business in Virginia and three large companies in California to provide the Agency with research and development in structures and materials, aerodynamics, aerothermodynamics, and acoustics technology related to aerospace vehicles.
Analytical Services and Materials (AS&M), Inc., in Hampton, Va., is the prime contractor on the East Coast. AS&M will work with the following subcontractors: Eagle Aeronautics, Inc., in Hampton; Georgia Tech Research Corporation, a non-profit, educational institution in Atlanta, Ga.; Orbital Sciences Corp., Greenbelt, Md.; ATA Engineering, Inc., San Diego; ARINC Engineering Services, LLC, Oklahoma City, Okla.; FLEXSYS, Inc., Ann Arbor, Mich.; Materials, Research & Design, Inc., Wayne, Pa.; and Southern Research Institute, a nonprofit organization in Birmingham, Ala. The principal work performance location will be Hampton.
On the West Coast, prime contractors are The Boeing Company, Huntington Beach, Calif.; Lockheed Martin Corporation, Palmdale, Calif.; and Northrop Grumman Systems Corporation – Integrated Systems, El Segundo, Calif.
