SAIC, Oakwood join in NASA’s Mentor-Protege program

The Marshall Space Flight Center celebrated a major milestone recently – the first Mentor-Protege signing agreement between a NASA prime contractor and a historically black college or university.

The three-year NASA agreement reached Feb. 18 is between SAIC and Oakwood University. Historically black colleges and universities are defined as American schools established before 1964, formed with the intention of serving the black community, according to a release from Oakwood. The Marshall Center’s Small Business Office oversaw the signing.

Under the pact, SAIC will aid Oakwood University with technology enhancement, contract management and business administration.
