Solicitation # 80GRC026R0008

The Lunar Enabling Infrastructure Accelerator (LEIA), issued by the NASA Glenn Research Center under solicitation 80GRC026R0008, is a full and open competition seeking technology maturation, risk reduction, and capability demonstrations for lunar and cislunar infrastructure. The program focuses on advancing five key technology areas from lower Technology Readiness Levels toward TRL 5-6: Vertical Solar Arrays, In Situ Resource Utilization (ISRU) Oxygen Production from Regolith, Radioisotope Stirling Generators, In-Space Advanced Manufacturing, and Innovative Nanomaterials Production. Awards will be issued as Firm-Fixed-Price contracts, with the government selecting a portfolio of proposals based on a best-value determination where technical merit is significantly more important than price. Proposals must be submitted via the EFSS Box by October 15, 2026, at 5:00 PM EDT. Offerors are required to provide a detailed Work Plan in the form of a Statement of Work, a pricing proposal using the provided template, and a comprehensive Organizational Conflicts of Interest (OCI) plan. Eligibility requires certification of for-profit status and U.S. organization/ownership, though international participation is permitted provided it complies with U.S. export laws and is documented in an International Participation Plan. Evaluation is primarily driven by technical merit, including the soundness of the technical approach and the credibility of the stated starting TRL/MRL, while the business volume is used to identify potential risks for the Source Selection Authority.
