The technical scope focuses on the development of integrated, flight-ready Orbital Maneuvering Vehicles and modular small spacecraft systems for cislunar and deep space destinations. Key requirements include achieving specific delta-V capabilities, ensuring compatibility with ESPA-class adapters, and maintaining robustness against radiation, thermal cycling, and lunar regolith. Evaluation will be conducted on a trade-off basis, prioritizing relevance to NASA technical need areas, continuity from prior Phase II work, and the feasibility of Technology Readiness Level advancement. Interested small businesses must submit a single 10-page white paper, a summary budget, a briefing chart, a Commercialization Metrics Survey, and a foreign affiliations disclosure via the ProSAMS portal by September 11, 2026. Submissions must follow strict formatting guidelines, including 1-inch margins and a minimum 10-point font. While this request for information does not constitute a formal funding opportunity, NASA anticipates reaching out to selected firms around January 2027 for formal proposal invitations.

Simulator Collection for Atomic to Continuum Scales (SCACS)

Solicitation # S-196281

The Simulator Collection for Atomic to Continuum Scales (SCACS) is an AI-driven multiscale simulation platform developed by Los Alamos National Laboratory to bridge the gap between atomic-scale physics and continuum-scale engineering. By utilizing graph neural networks and proprietary models such as SPTC-AI and SPEC-AI, the toolkit predicts spatially varying thermal and electrical transport properties across million-atom systems. This allows engineers to identify localized hot-spots and transport pathways in complex materials, significantly reducing simulation runtimes from days to minutes while maintaining high physical fidelity. The technology is highly applicable to critical industries including semiconductor packaging, fusion energy, aerospace, and quantum device manufacturing. It integrates with standard finite-element solvers to provide directionally accurate material behavior and microstructural insights. This opportunity, listed under solicitation S-196281, is available for licensing through the Department of Energy's Triad contractor, with a response deadline of February 16, 2027.
