A woman-owned, Huntsville, Ala. company recently earned NASA’s Agency-Level 2016 Small Business Prime Contractor of the Year Award.

NASA recently notified Cepeda Systems & Software Analysis, Inc. (CSSA) that it had won the space agency’s prestigious Agency-Level 2016 Small Business Prime Contractor of the Year Award. This recognition comes on the heels of earning the agency’s Marshall Space Flight Center (MSFC) Award earlier in the year.

CSSA is a woman-owned small business that supports customers in the Department of Defense (D0D), NASA, and the commercial sector with software engineering, systems engineering, and process improvement services.
