The Acquisition Resource Center (ARC) provides industry with a one-stop source for acquisition information. It also serves as a market research tool for NSA requirements personnel and as a means to expand our industrial base, which in turn will increase NSA’s competitive contracting opportunities.
One of the key benefits of the ARC is that it provides a means for NSA and industry to better exchange acquisition information. Industry is given the opportunity to showcase their corporate capabilities. NSA provides industry with current, relevant acquisition information that supports industry strategic business planning such as near-term solicitation schedules and long-term government business forecasts. Companies registered in the ARC that have the appropriate security clearances may visit the ARC, located in Hanover, MD, to review NSA Technology Forecasts, Market Surveys, Broad Area Announcements, Requests For Information (RFIs) and Requests For Proposals (RFPs), both draft and final versions. Companies also can perform searches of the ARC’s Business Registry to identify potential subcontractors or teaming opportunities.
NSA Contracting Officers, Program Managers, Business Managers, Contracting Officer’s Representatives, Technical Directors, Small Business Specialists, and the Competition Advocate use the ARC Business Registry to identify potential sources for satisfying acquisition requirements.
