DRAFT Solar System Exploration Research Virtual Institute Cooperative Agreement Notice-5 (SSERVI CAN-5)

Solicitation # NNH26ZDA013J

The Solar System Exploration Research Virtual Institute Cooperative Agreement Notice-5 (SSERVI CAN-5), solicitation number NNH26ZDA013J, issued by NASA's Science Mission Directorate, invites proposals for multidisciplinary research and workforce development initiatives aligned with NASA’s solar system exploration goals. Submission follows a two-step process: a Step-1 proposal, which is mandatory for eligibility to submit a full Step-2 proposal, serves as a preliminary, anonymous summary requiring only the Principal Investigator’s details, team members, project title, and a brief description. Step-1 proposals are treated as competition-sensitive and must be submitted through NSPIRES, with all participating individuals and institutions preregistered in NSPIRES and the System for Award Management (SAM), a process that may take up to 30 days. Step-2 proposals must be structured into three required PDF volumes—Volume A (anonymized technical content), Volume B (non-anonymized administrative and personnel information), and a separate total budget file—with an optional fourth file for High-End Computing resource requests. Volume A is limited to 55 pages total across sections including the Executive Summary, Research Plan, Open Science and Data Management Plan, Workforce Development Plan, Fieldwork Plan, and Citizen Science/Science Activation Plan, all subject to strict formatting rules including font size, margins, and character density. Evaluation is based on a trade-off methodology, with Volume A carrying 100% of the technical score weighted toward Scientific and Technical Merit (70%), Workforce Development (15%), and Citizen Science/Science Activation (15%). Volume B is assessed qualitatively and non-additively; deficiencies here may disqualify otherwise strong proposals, even if Volume A scores highly. Key compliance elements include disclosure of foreign collaboration via endorsed letters, exclusion of any involvement with China or Chinese-owned entities, reporting of current and pending support using NASA SciEncv format, completion of research security training for senior personnel, and adherence to data management standards under 2 CFR 200.455 and NASA’s FAIR data principles. All proposals must be submitted electronically by the NSPIRES deadline, with no physical submissions accepted. Funding is estimated at $9 million over five years, with awards anticipated approximately 12 months after the Step-2 deadline, and applicants assume all financial risk for costs incurred prior to the official award start date.

SWFO-L1 SpacecraftThe Space Weather Follow On - Lagrange 1 spacecraft contract is a forecasted procurement by NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center under the NAICS code 927110, indicating a federal government activity related to space research and development. The initiative aims to deploy a dedicated spacecraft to the Lagrange Point 1 (L1) region, approximately 1.5 million kilometers from Earth toward the Sun, to ensure uninterrupted monitoring of solar activity and space weather phenomena. This mission is critical for maintaining the continuity of space weather observations currently provided by decommissioning or aging assets, ensuring timely warnings of solar storms that can disrupt satellite operations, power grids, communications, and GPS systems. The spacecraft will carry advanced instrumentation to measure solar wind, magnetic fields, energetic particles, and solar imagery, enabling real-time data transmission to Earth for use by NOAA’s Space Weather Prediction Center and other operational agencies. While the solicitation number and specific contract award details are not yet available, the forecast date of May 25, 2026, signals upcoming procurement activity within the next few years. The mission is a strategic national priority to safeguard critical infrastructure and aerospace assets, with performance expected to occur in cislunar space and mission operations centered at NASA facilities. No set-aside designation or small business preferences are indicated, suggesting this will be a full and open competition likely involving major aerospace contractors with experience in deep-space spacecraft development and space weather instrumentation.
