What We Do
SpEC was created in 2017 through the Air Force Space and Missile Systems Center to bridge the cultural gap through an OTA between military buyers and commercial space startups and small businesses. The innovative contracting process allows SpEC to solicit bids from a mix of member companies including companies that have not previously worked with the DoD.
Develop & Deploy
SpEC decreases the sales cycle timeline in the development and deployment of next-generation space technologies.
Collaborate & Team
SpEC allows small, non-traditional businesses to discover teaming opportunities.
Attract & Educate
SpEC attracts and educates members to compete for federally-funded space-related prototype projects.
