Tender Details

NASA/Glenn Research Center (GRC) plans to issue an Appendix under the Next Space Technologies for Exploration Partnership (NextSTEP-3) Broad Agency Announcement (BAA), titled Appendix A- Lunar Enabling Infrastructure Accelerator (LEIA) on behalf of the Space Technology Mission Directorate (STMD).
NASA's STMD is responsible for accelerating the technological readiness of key systems and closing capability gaps critical to lunar surface and cislunar architecture. Paramount to this endeavor is a competitive and robust U.S. industrial base, which NASA relies upon as partners in the design, development, testing, and evaluation of innovative, industry-driven solutions to U.S. space priorities. Through the Appendix that NASA GRC plans to solicit, STMD seeks proposals from U.S. institutions to mature and demonstrate capabilities in the areas of vertical solar arrays, in situ resource utilization (ISRU) oxygen production systems, Stirling radioisotope generators, in-space manufacturing, and advanced nanomaterials production. These targeted technology areas require further risk reduction and ground demonstrations to advance competing solutions to Technology Readiness Levels (TRL) 5-6. The efforts supported under this solicitation advance the technology objectives of NASA-s Moon Base by demonstrating critical systems and accelerating the development of transformative capabilities essential to near-term mission success.
Accordingly, NASA GRC is seeking capability statements from all interested parties, including all socioeconomic categories of Small Businesses and Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCU)/Minority Institutions (MI) for the purposes of determining the appropriate level of competition and/or small business subcontracting goals for LEIA. The Government reserves the right to consider a Small, 8(a), Women-owned (WOSB), Service-Disabled Veteran (SD-VOSB), Economically Disadvantaged Women-owned Small Business (EDWOSB) or HUBZone business set-aside base...
