Description
NASA Glenn Research Center is issuing a Broad Agency Announcement (BAA) to fund technology maturation, risk reduction, and capability‑demonstration projects that address five lunar and cislunar infrastructure gaps: vertical solar arrays, ISRU oxygen from regolith, radioisotope Stirling generators, in‑space advanced manufacturing, and innovative nanomaterials. The effort will be conducted under one or more firm‑fixed‑price contracts awarded in November 2026, with work performed off‑site at the contractor’s facilities. Offerors may be U.S. firms or international partners (non‑U.S. participants allowed on U.S. prime contracts). Proposals are due by 5:00 PM EDT on 15 Oct 2026 via NASA’s EFSS Box.
• Five technology topics to be addressed (solar arrays, ISRU O₂, Stirling generators, advanced manufacturing, nanomaterials).
• Open competition; multiple FFP awards possible.
• Small‑business size standard: 1,500 employees; NAICS 541715.
• No industry day; questions due 11 Sep 2026.
• Contract award expected Nov 2026; immediate effective date.
• Work performed at contractor’s facilities; no site visits required.
• International team members permitted with U.S. prime.
