Unified Network and Navigation Operations (UNNO) Request for InformationNASA’s Marshall Space Flight Center is seeking industry input on the upcoming Unified Network and Navigation Operations (UNNO) contract, which aims to integrate the Near Space Network and Deep Space Network under a unified operational framework known as the One Network philosophy. This initiative will consolidate communications and navigation services to support NASA’s human spaceflight, scientific missions, and partnerships with non-NASA government agencies, commercial entities, and international organizations. The contract will encompass end-to-end operations, maintenance, sustainment, integration, and continuous improvement for both existing and emerging network capabilities, including Space Relay (TDRS) and Direct-to-Earth services for near space, as well as ground-based facilities and global coordination for deep space operations across CONUS and international sites. The approach emphasizes a balanced mix of government-owned infrastructure and commercial services to ensure resilience, global coverage, and mission-critical performance while leveraging industry innovation where feasible. The request for information (RFI) is not a solicitation and does not obligate the government to award a contract or compensate respondents; it is solely for planning and market awareness purposes. Interested parties must submit capability statements and industry feedback electronically to Contracting Officer Benjamin Kamp by August 15, 2026, 4:00 PM Central Time, with all submissions required to be unclassified. Responses marked as confidential commercial or financial information will be handled under the Freedom of Information Act guidelines. The NAICS code for this effort is 517810, and while no set-aside is planned, the official solicitation—when released—will be posted on SAM.gov. Firms are responsible for monitoring that site for future updates and opportunities.

NextSTEP-3 Appendix B: Moon Base DemonstrationsThe solicitation for NextSTEP-3 Appendix B: Moon Base Demonstrations, issued under solicitation number 80MSFC26R0003 by NASA Marshall Space Flight Center, seeks industry-led demonstrations to advance the development of a permanent lunar base at the Moon’s South Pole, aligning with national space policy goals of sustained lunar presence and deep space exploration readiness. This initiative targets technology readiness levels 6 and above to bridge the gap between innovation and operational mission needs, with an emphasis on architectural studies, risk reduction, and capability maturation rather than hardware production. The procurement employs a two-step process: initial White Paper submissions followed by invited full proposals under a Multi-Award Task Order Contract (MATOC) structure, with all awards structured as Firm-Fixed-Price contracts featuring performance-based milestone payments. The solicitation operates under a dual-path approach, combining Directed-Topic Calls that address specific, evolving mission needs with Open-Topic Calls that invite broader, unanticipated innovations—though submissions duplicating Directed-Topic concepts will be deemed ineligible. Evaluation is based on a non-trade-off, best-value selection process where Technical Capability (including Capability and Past Performance) is weighted at 1,000 points and must meet minimum thresholds for eligibility, while Price is assessed solely for reasonableness and completeness and does not factor into ranking. Proposals must adhere to strict formatting rules, including page limits and submission as a single searchable PDF, with key personnel qualifications, organizational conflict of interest plans, and intellectual property disclosures required as attachments. All contractors must maintain active SAM.gov registration, submit required certifications and representations, and comply with NASA-specific clauses related to data rights, payments, changes, subcontracting, whistleblower protections, and safety and liability waivers. Performance will be conducted under the NASA FAR Supplement, with invoicing required through the NASA Shared Services Center and all delivery and inspection terms left intentionally unspecified, reinforcing the analytical nature of deliverables—reports, models, simulations, and feasibility studies—rather than physical products. The contracting office at Huntsville, Alabama, remains the point of contact, with questions directed to the designated Contracting Officer, and submissions must be completed by the stated deadline to remain valid.

Network Extension for User Continuity and Sustainability (NEXUS) Ka-Band Backward-Compatible Relay Broad Agency Announcement (BAA) NextSTEP-3 Appendix E - Final SolicitationThe NASA Marshall Space Flight Center is soliciting proposals under the NextSTEP-3 Appendix E Broad Agency Announcement for the Network Extension for User Continuity and Sustainability (NEXUS) Ka-band Backward-Compatible Relay program, aimed at securing a commercially viable, end-to-end Ka-band relay service that is backward compatible with legacy Tracking and Data Relay Satellite System (TDRSS) users for at least fifteen years. The acquisition is structured as a phased, competitive Research and Development effort with one base CLIN and two separately priced option CLINs, all under Firm-Fixed-Price terms. Phase 1 involves concept maturation and risk reduction, Phase 2 focuses on system integration and ground testing leading to flight demonstration readiness, and Phase 3 entails on-orbit demonstration and service validation, with a target launch no later than June 30, 2028. The total period of performance for the contract, if awarded, runs from August 18, 2026, through September 17, 2028, with phase-specific performance windows tied to milestone achievements. Proposals must include detailed technical and management approaches, corporate contributions, data rights assertions, and a pricing model, all submitted electronically via NASA’s EFSS Box platform by the revised deadline of August 4, 2026, at 10:00 a.m. Central Time. The solicitation requires strict compliance with ITAR-controlled technical data, as the Service Requirements Document (SRD) contains export-restricted information, and only offerors with valid Directorate of Defense Trade Controls clearance may access it through a secure SAM.gov portal after submitting proper documentation. Offers must be submitted exclusively through the designated point of contact, and any communication outside these channels will not be considered. Evaluation will be based purely on non-price factors—Technical Capability and Management Capability—each weighted and rated adjectivally as Excellent (91-100) or Very Good (71-90), with any “Poor” rating on any non-price factor rendering a proposal ineligible for award. Price will be analyzed for reasonableness and realism but will not receive a score or ranking. Award decisions will follow a rank-ordered list derived from combined non-price scores, with no tradeoffs among proposals. The contract includes clauses addressing gratuities, anti-kickback procedures, export controls, stop-work orders, and unique NASA-specific clauses covering period of performance, place of performance, data requirements, organizational conflicts of interest, and compliance with NASA

Final RFP Engineering Services and Science Capability Augmentation (ESSCA) IIThe NASA George C. Marshall Space Flight Center’s Engineering Services and Science Capability Augmentation (ESSCA) II solicitation, identified as 80MSFC26R0002, is a full and open competition for a hybrid indefinite-delivery, indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) contract to provide engineering and science capability augmentation across multiple NASA facilities, including the Michoud Assembly Facility and Stennis Space Center, with potential extension to NASA Headquarters and other Centers. The contract encompasses a four-month phase-in period beginning January 18, 2027, a five-year base period through May 17, 2032, and an optional three-year extension through May 17, 2035, with an additional six-month extension authority under FAR 52.217-8. The acquisition is scoped under NAICS code 541715 with a small business size standard of 1,300 employees, and the contract permits the issuance of cost-plus-award-fee, cost-plus-fixed-fee, and firm-fixed-price orders. Offerors must submit proposals via NASA’s EFSS Box in four distinct volumes—Mission Suitability, Cost, Past Performance, and Contract—following strict formatting guidelines, including the use of Microsoft Word and Excel for narrative and pricing submissions, respectively, and prohibiting PDF conversion of core volumes. The solicitation requires comprehensive adherence to safety, health, and environmental standards aligned with MSFC policy, ISO 9001 quality systems, and robust subcontractor management practices. The Evaluation Factors for Award prioritize Mission Suitability as the most critical component, followed by Past Performance, with Cost being the least weighted, and an affirmative determination of responsibility is a mandatory pass/fail gate for award. The contract requires utilization of the ATOMS Suite for task and delivery order management and mandates financial reporting through the 533M form, with costs reported to the nearest dollar and invoicing reconciled to this report. Funding must be tracked using the government-provided Fund Code under an “oldest money first” and FIFO methodology. A significant revision occurred with Amendment 00003, which introduced the capability to issue firm-fixed-price orders under the skills augmentation portion of the contract, necessitated a full proposal resubmission, and extended the proposal deadline to August 6, 2026, in response to the impact of NASA’s February 6, 2026, Workforce Directive.
