Central Industry Assistance Office

The NASA Kennedy Space Center (KSC) Small and Small Disadvantaged Business Working Group has an off-site Central Industry Assistance Office (CIAO) serving as an outreach to private industry and a primary source of information for firms seeking business opportunities at KSC. One of the primary services offered at the CIAO is:

Joint Counseling!

At "Joint Counseling" vendors are able to counsel with representatives from NASA/KSC and the major prime contractors under one roof without having to obtain security clearance. The goal of joint counseling is to provide private industry the maximum opportunity to do business with KSC and to present the ultimate team image -- one face to industry. Joint counseling sessions are conducted on Tuesday and Thursday mornings from 9:30 am to 11:00 am. Please call (321) 867-7353 to schedule a counseling session.

The CIAO has an information board filled with brochures on business programs.

The CIAO staff may be reached at (321) 867-7353 or at the following address:
