Nasa doesnt do a lot of propulsion stuff anymore to my knowledge. A lot of that has been outsourced to contract companies like SpaceX, Lockheed Martin, Boeing, etc.

They're more in the business of mission operations these days, with some component building in the side. At least as far as my experience has been, that's been the case.
