99--MICHOUD ASSEMBLY FACILITY - SPACE LAUNCH SYSTEMS INDUSTRY DAY

NASA's Office of Procurement is organizing an Industry Day event on November 14, 2011, at the Michoud Assembly Facility to support the Small Business Program and other procurement efforts linked to the Space Launch System (SLS) Program. The event, beginning at 12:30 PM Central Time, will provide attendees with a detailed overview of the SLS Program, its procurement strategy, the Michoud Assembly Facility's business model, affordability initiatives, and the facility's capabilities. A key component of the event includes a discussion on the contracting process at Michoud, followed by a guided tour to showcase the production capabilities of the facility. Participation is limited to U.S. citizens, with registration required online by November 7, 2011, though late registration will be accepted on a limited basis through November 11. The session is geared toward industry representatives interested in procurement opportunities and fostering collaboration with NASA. Additional details and registration access are provided through an online portal, and primary contacts for the event are Charla Pledger and Chip Howat for further inquiries. This initiative aligns with efforts to enhance collaboration between NASA and industry partners through transparent communication and engagement at the facility level.
