* NSA does not openly advertise our business opportunities on FEDBIZOPPS www.fedbizopps.gov
* NSA follows the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) www.arnet.gov/far and Defense supplement to FAR (DFARS) www.acq.osd.mil/dpap/dars/dfars/html/r20070913/tochtml.htm
* NSA makes use of the National Security Exception which allows for “Other Than Full and Open Competition”
* We match our requirements with potential vendors through market research
