Request for Information - Potential Research and Technology Partnership Opportunities

Solicitation # RFI-KSC-ResearchCollaboration-2026

The National Aeronautics and Space Administration, through the Kennedy Space Center Spaceport Development Division, has issued Request for Information RFI-KSC-ResearchCollaboration-2026 to identify potential research and technology partnership opportunities with U.S. federal, state, and commercial entities. This initiative aims to expand NASA's innovation ecosystem in support of the Artemis Mission by collaborating with partners whose expertise complements existing capabilities. The RFI focuses on seven priority areas: crop production and management, dust mitigation, in-situ resource utilization, in-space and surface systems, ground systems, scientific instruments for exploration, and waste management and logistics reduction. This solicitation is strictly for planning purposes to gauge market interest and does not constitute a formal offer or commitment to enter into a contract. Consequently, there is no estimated contract value, and the government will not reimburse respondents for costs incurred during the submission process. Interested parties must submit a response in PDF format by November 20, 2026, adhering to specific formatting guidelines including a twenty-page limit and the use of Times New Roman size 12 font. All submissions should be directed to the designated points of contact, Christina L. Williams and Kathy Loftin, and must clearly mark any proprietary data.
