Does NASA provide technical advice or feedback during the contract?
The government Contracting Officers Technical Representative (COTR) is the primary contact within NASA on the contract’s technology focus and objectives. The COTR assigned to each contract may designate technologists or technology users, primarily from within NASA, who will be given access to technical reports. These individuals will act as advisors, and can help provide insight, based on NASA’s mission needs, to the development of the technology.
