Frequently asked questions

What is NAICS 927110?

NAICS 927110 is the code for Space Research and Technology, which falls under Public Administration (NAICS 92). It covers government agencies and federally funded R&D centers that conduct space research and development.

Why does the RFP need to mention ITAR/EAR?

Many space technologies are export-controlled under ITAR or EAR. Including these references ensures that only eligible proposers handle sensitive data and that the project remains compliant with federal export laws.

Can I use this template for a non-federal agency?

Yes, but you should adjust clauses to match your procurement rules. The template includes federal references, but it can be adapted for state or local space-related initiatives.
