Doing business with NSA is not as daunting as you may have been led to believe. It is true that NSA does no "open" procurements; therefore, you will never see an NSA requirement on FEDBIZOPS. However, by following a few easy steps, you can register your company in NSA's Acquisition Resource Center (ARC) and begin to position your business to do work with NSA.

So let's get started...

The first step is to register your company in NSA's Acquisition Resource Center (ARC). Before you can register in the ARC, however, you must be registered in the Central Contractor Registry (CCR). If you are not currently registered in the CCR, follow the link provided and return here after you have your confirmed CCR registration. Once you have completed your CCR registration, visit www.nsaarc.net to begin your ARC registration.

After registering in the ARC, you should attend either our Monthly Outreach Meeting, "Preparing for Success: A Start-Up Guide to Working with NSA," or the Office of Small Business Programs' (OSBP) Bi-weekly Briefing for Small Business. The Monthly Outreach Meeting is open to companies of all sizes and provides a comprehensive overview of NSA programs designed to help businesses do business with the Agency. The Small Business Bi-weekly Briefing is only open to small businesses and highlights the same programs as presented in the monthly briefing as well specific programs targeted only to small businesses.

To register for the Monthly Outreach meeting, please contact our Industry Outreach Team at nsaoutreach_register@nsa.gov. View additional information about the Monthly Outreach Meeting.

To register for the Small Business Bi-weekly briefing, click here: Bi-Weekly Registration. View additional information about the Small Business Bi-Weekly Briefing.

Each of these meetings will provide detailed information about the next steps you should take to position your company to do business with the National Security Agency.

If you need assistance with any of these steps, please contact the Industry Outreach Team at (301)688-7866, (866)397-7866, or via e-mail at acq_outreach@nsa.gov.

Once you have completed the above, please visit our Programs page for additional business opportunities available at NSA.
