1. For starters, recommend you become familiar with the NASA Procurement Management System (iNPMS) http://prod.nais.nasa.gov/cgi-bin/npms/npms.cgi
It will allow you to execute a query by Contract numbers or adhoc however their online database is currently limited to contracts either active or initiated subsequent to approximately 1996. Its unclear if they will be supporting archival access to earlier data in the future.2. Contract number prefix's generally refer to the specific procurement site/facility that initiated the contract. NAS8-XXXXX an MSFC contract, NAS5-XXXXX a GSFC contract vehicle.
3. Here are a few contract numbers that may assist...
