    Frequently Asked Questions

    What government aerospace contracts are available?
    The federal government, primarily DOD, spends over $100 billion annually on aerospace and aviation. Contracts span: aircraft manufacturing and modification, maintenance repair and overhaul (MRO), avionics systems, propulsion systems, satellite design and manufacturing, unmanned aerial systems (UAS/drones), space launch services, air traffic control systems (FAA), and aerospace research and development. NASA, Air Force, Navy, Army, DARPA, and MDA are major contracting agencies.
    How do aerospace companies find subcontracting opportunities?
    Most large aerospace defense programs are prime contracts held by major defense contractors like Lockheed Martin, Boeing, Raytheon, and Northrop Grumman. These primes heavily subcontract, creating massive opportunities for smaller aerospace firms. SamSearch tracks both prime opportunities and subcontracting signals, helping you identify which primes are actively seeking subcontractors for specific programs and capabilities.
    What NAICS codes do aerospace companies use?
    Key aerospace NAICS codes include: 336411 (Aircraft Manufacturing), 336412 (Aircraft Engine and Engine Parts Manufacturing), 336413 (Other Aircraft Parts and Equipment Manufacturing), 336414 (Guided Missile and Space Vehicle Manufacturing), 488119 (Other Airport Operations), 481111 (Scheduled Air Transportation), and 541715 (Research and Development in the Physical Engineering and Life Sciences). The right NAICS codes are critical for set-aside eligibility.
    Do aerospace companies need security clearances for government contracts?
    Many aerospace contracts, particularly those involving classified programs, military systems, and sensitive technologies, require facility clearances (FCL) and personnel clearances. However, commercial aviation support, MRO for unclassified platforms, and some NASA contracts do not require clearances. SamSearch lets you filter by clearance requirements so you only find opportunities your company can pursue.
    How does NASA contract with private aerospace companies?
    NASA uses a variety of contracting mechanisms: traditional cost-plus contracts for large programs, firm-fixed-price contracts for commercial services, Space Act Agreements for public-private partnerships, and the SBIR/STTR program for small business R&D. SamSearch tracks all NASA solicitations across Marshall, JPL, Glenn, Langley, and other centers, plus SBIR opportunities relevant to aerospace companies.
