About Us
NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory Acquisition organization is responsible for the procurement of goods and services in support of the Laboratory's tasks, projects, programs, and institutional needs. We're accountable for all procurement functions: planning, source solicitation, evaluation and selection, administration, closeout, and managing supplier performance.
JPL Commitment to Small Business Suppliers
The small business community plays a critical role in JPL’s supply chain. Typically, the Laboratory awards over $325 million dollars in subcontracts to small businesses each year. In our ongoing support of contracting opportunities with small businesses, Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCU), and Minority Serving Institutions (MSI), the Laboratory will look for occasions to promote set-asides for these organizations as well as other socioeconomic subcategories.
We at JPL take great pride in achieving mission success and in the strength of our collective team. Small businesses are integral to that success. Our Small Business Programs Office (SBPO), leads our efforts in small business contracting opportunities at JPL. Please reach out to them at smallbusiness.programsoffice@jpl.nasa.gov for assistance.
