NASA will partner with seven U.S. companies to meet future commercial and government needs, ultimately benefitting human spaceflight and the U.S. commercial low Earth orbit economy.

Through unfunded Space Act Agreements, the second Collaborations for Commercial Space Capabilities-2 initiative (CCSC-2) is designed to advance commercial space-related efforts through NASA contributions of technical expertise, assessments, lessons learned, technologies, and data. Structured sharing of NASA expertise demands minimal government resources but fosters development of capabilities that can be crucial to development of a robust low Earth orbit economy.

Ok I'll combine two:

Vast and ThinkOrbital

They don't have any real NASA contracts as far as I know, but I love their concepts (ThinkOrbital's on-orbit assembled sphere, and Vast's low-tech space RV), and it's great to see that they're both working with the experts.
