Nelson Engineering Small Business Prime Contractor of the Year 2021 (final)

NASA KSC Names Nelson Engineering Co. 2021 Small Business Prime Contractor of the Year

January 13, 2022
PRESS RELEASE  |  FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE  | Nelson Engineering Co (Nelson), a Florida-based engineering consulting services company, was selected as the NASA Kennedy Space Center (KSC) 2021 Small Business Prime Contractor of the Year. This award is the third time that KSC has recognized Nelson. Twice before, Nelson was recognized as the KSC Subcontractor Contractor of the Year, first in 2002 and again in 2005. This is Nelson’s first prime award based on providing NASA with engineering design services on four prime contracts since 2017.
The NASA KSC award recognizes Nelson’s responsiveness to contractual requirements and innovative solutions as a prime contractor. Selection criteria included evaluating performance on every NASA contract the company has performed on during the evaluation period, emphasizing delivering on time and budget. Also, Nelson’s active participation in the KSC Small Business Council factored into the award.

Since 1993, Nelson has been laser-focused on the NASA mission and the nation’s space program. Nelson’s aerospace services include design of ground support equipment, ground support systems, and facilities. Nelson’s success directly results from collaboration with fellow prime contractors at KSC. The trust placed in Nelson by major primes and their mentorship propelled Nelson from subcontractor to prime contractor status. Since 2017, Nelson has held four NASA prime contracts:

  1. KSC Electrical Engineering
  2. KSC Mechanical Engineering
  3. Glenn Research Center Architectural-Engineering Services Contract
  4. NASA Southeast Regional Architect and Engineering Services Contract
