NASA Information Q&A
« on: 07/12/2017 08:57 pm »
Just a quick question, is there a section on NASA's website (or anywhere) that lists all their RFIs, RFPs, RFQs, etc. ?

For example, I found a page, here: https://www.nasa.gov/directorates/spacetech/solicitations

But this can't possibly be a complete list, it doesn't show the next Mars orbiter, for example.

Might take some digging, but you should be able to find them on these:

https://prod.nais.nasa.gov/cgibin/nais/index.cgi

https://prod.nais.nasa.gov/cgibin/npdv/adhoc.cgi

https://www.hq.nasa.gov/office/procurement/forecast/

https://prod.nais.nasa.gov/cgibin/nais/index.cgi

I've seen this site before too. I'm not clear on how exactly one searches it though, theres no keyword search function I can see anywhere. I see links to individual files on it frequently, and once I have one of those links I can pretty easily get a list of the other files in the same package by fiddling with the URL (made a quick program to brute-force this a while ago), but I can't find a built-in functionality for this.

I don't see a keyword search anywhere, but you can search by several categories here:

I regularly see interesting information sourced from an Aerospace Safety Advisory Panel (ASAP) meeting. Are ASAP meetings publicly accessible either via audio, video, or text?

If these meetings are not currently available to the public (my google search skills failed) yet available to the press (i.e. not confidential information) then I hope these meetings can be made available via some forum. The press shouldn't be a filter to information shared with the general tax paying public.

The general public can dial into ASAP meetings via a freephone number (in the USA).  You will need a pass code number and give your name and any affiliation to the teleconference operator.  Details of meetings including phone & code numbers are usually posted on the ASAP website under the "meetings" section:

https://oiir.hq.nasa.gov/asap/index.html

The public sessions are typically 75 minutes, but recently have stretched to 2 hours.  There is no video, nor any webex presentation.  ASAP do not archive any recordings, but they do publish written minutes within 2-3 weeks.
