Default commercial support of ISS and lunar base

The White House's "Renewed Spirit of Discovery" document [1] directs the
NASA Administrator to (among many other things):

"Pursue commercial opportunities for providing transportation and other
services supporting the International Space Station and exploration
missions beyond low Earth orbit." (Section D)

This bodes well for companies like SpaceX, SpaceDev, SeaLaunch, etc.,
don't you think?



Was there anything in there about "Small Business Set-Aside"?

OSP gave a good taste of their commercialization. They put out
an RFP and took the same commercial providers.

I will believe it will help other companies when NASA actually
starts buying from other companies.
