1. OVERVIEW
NASA is seeking information from commercial providers and industry to help shape the future acquisition strategy for Commercial LEO Destinations to maintain America-s presence in LEO.
This RFI is aligned with the Executive Order “Ensuring American Space Superiority” (December 2025), which directs the United States to:
Grow a vibrant commercial space economy through the power of American free enterprise by spurring private sector initiative and a commercial pathway to replace the International Space Station
Building a replacement for the ISS is a national imperative to maintain an orbital laboratory and proving ground in LEO. When the International Space Station reaches its planned end-of-life, NASA will transition to commercially provided space stations. NASA is evaluating two options for this transition: a direct to commercial station option and an incrementally phased transition.
The direct to commercial station approach is aligned with NASA-s original plan which relied on NASA being one of many providers with 2 space stations offering commercial services. Given that the current commercial market is not mature and with available funding, NASA is not able to fund 2 commercial space stations to maintain competition and redundancy. NASA-s new alternate approach of using an incrementally phased transition allows for continued participation from multiple providers and a continued competitive drive to grow the commercial market. Reference the supplemental Concept of Operations and the LEO New Approach Acquisition for the new approach.
Industry has already provided significant feedback on the original option including methods for procurement. In light of NASA considering two options, NASA would like comparative input for these options.
