Ladies,

I'm slammed with work as usual, but wanted to reach out to you on this!
Last May, I identified and responded to an RFI on behalf of JMA Solutions, for a BPA for management of the NASA Early Stage Innovation Partnerships (ESIP) Program.
This program manages the SBIR / STTR and other programs for NASA.

After they made the down-select, I helped and coached them through the proposal and orals, and they were one of six companies awarded the BPA. Overall $24.5 million.
Now, NASA has issued the first task, which is for a Diversity, Equity,? Inclusion, and Accessibility (DEIA) analysis of the program.
JMA and their subcontractor are putting together a quick turnaround response.

So -- the long pole on this is of course staffing. If you know anyone who would be a good fit to participate in such a project, let me know ASAP and I will get them in contact with the folks writing the proposal.
I think they have a fairly good shot at it although they are not the incumbent.
(I'm hoping my role isn't large as I have too many other things going on to do much.)

It's a very exciting program.

Hi Dorothy,
? ? ?? Did you get any candidates??? I missed this when it came into my mailbox.

? ? ?? I can probably connect you with some folks if you are still looking for someone.

Hi, Linda,

In fact, I had been going to call you but was so busy I didn't get to it.
The prop went in yesterday, but the next call order solicitation is out, and again a quick turnaround but I have not even read it yet.

Now beyond the proposal stage, if they win this one, there will probably still be a need for facilitators and others on it.
If you know anybody with NASA, SBIR/research background, and project management, there are opportunities.

Thanks,

Dorothy
