Solicitation # 80LARC27R0003
Solicitation 80LARC27R0003 is a competitive small business set-aside for an Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract to provide Evaluations, Assessments, and Support Services (EASS) for the Science Office for Mission Assessments (SOMA) at NASA Langley Research Center. The contract supports the NASA Headquarters Science Mission Directorate by providing critical evaluations of flight investigations, independent program reviews, and related technical analyses. The five-year period of performance is scheduled from June 1, 2027, through May 31, 2032, with a minimum government obligation of 100,000 dollars and a maximum contract value of 99,750,000 dollars. Task orders under this vehicle will be awarded as Firm-Fixed-Price.

Request for Information (RFI) for Site Development Partnerships at NASA Langley Research Center
Solicitation # LARC-RFI-2026_2027
NASA Langley Research Center is issuing Request for Information LARC-RFI-2026/2027 to identify industry, academic, and non-federal government partners for the development of the NASA Langley Aerospace Innovation District Hub in Hampton, Virginia. The initiative involves approximately 325 acres of developable land across seven parcels, with an additional 150 acres available subject to environmental and archaeological constraints. NASA seeks to establish a collaborative ecosystem through Enhanced Use Lease or National Historic Preservation Act lease agreements to support strategic priorities including hypersonics, autonomous systems, space payload processing, and Lunar/Mars simulation facilities. Proposed developments may also include renewable energy farms, data centers, and visitor housing. This is a presolicitation effort to determine commercial viability and gather development concepts; therefore, no formal solicitation currently exists and NASA will not provide payment for information submitted. Interested entities must submit a two to five page expression of interest electronically to the designated points of contact. The RFI period remains open until June 30, 2027, with NASA intending to publish one or more Announcements for Proposal prior to the closing date to outline specific evaluation factors for partner selection.
