Strategic Professional Engineering Assessment Contract (SPEAC) IIIThe contract seeks to re-compete the Strategic Professional Engineering Assessment Contract (SPEAC) III, providing continued support to the Exploration Architecture, Integration, and Science (EAIS) Directorate along with other customers. The primary focus is on delivering independent programmatic and institutional reviews and assessments that encompass cost, schedule, technical risk evaluations, safety and mission assurance, as well as the development and interpretation of high-level organizational engineering performance requirements. This contract aims to ensure rigorous, objective oversight in these critical areas to support successful mission outcomes. Issued by NASA’s Johnson Space Center, this opportunity falls under the NAICS code 927110 and is currently posted as a forecast with the place of performance and set-aside status yet to be determined. Key contacts for the solicitation include Cara L. Miller and Small Business Specialist Tumarrow Romain. The contract builds upon the previous SPEAC II BPA, emphasizing the continuation and expansion of independent assessments that help manage technical and programmatic risks for NASA’s engineering projects and mission assurance processes.

Announcement of Opportunity (AO) Astrophysics Explorers Program 2026 Small Explorer (SMEX)The document outlines NASA's Announcement of Opportunity for the Astrophysics Explorers Program 2026 Small Explorer (SMEX), inviting proposals for small-scale astrophysics missions. It provides comprehensive requirements starting with submission guidelines including cover pages, fact sheets, and detailed content structure. The contract emphasizes clear scientific objectives and investigation plans, requiring proposers to outline the scientific background, goals, and specific requirements of their mission. Proposals must also describe the threshold science investigation to ensure mission feasibility. Further sections detail the science implementation approach, including mission profiles, instrumentation specifics, data analysis plans, and commitments to open science and data management. The proposal must also include a thorough description of the science team and their roles. The mission implementation segment highlights general requirements, mission concept descriptions, development strategies, and the incorporation of new or advanced technologies. Developed by NASA’s Science Mission Directorate, this solicitation encourages innovative small explorer missions that align with mission traceability and scientific priorities set forth by the agency.

Geoscience Discipline NodeNASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC) has issued a sources-sought notice to inform interested parties about the upcoming opportunity for the Geoscience Discipline Node, part of the Planetary Data System (PDS). The PDS Discipline Nodes are responsible for the long-term preservation and usability of NASA planetary science data, ensuring compliance with federal cybersecurity laws and supporting the planetary science community through standards development and data interoperability. This notice is intended for information and planning purposes, inviting capability statements to help NASA assess industry capacity, competition, and small business participation. It is not a request for proposal, nor does it constitute a commitment by the government. NASA seeks input from a broad range of vendors, including small businesses and minority-serving institutions, to better understand potential subcontracting goals, identify any barriers to small business participation, and gather suggestions to enhance small business involvement through strategies like componentizing requirements and fostering teaming arrangements. Respondents are encouraged to indicate if they do not want their names publicized as part of NASA's effort to facilitate teaming. Responses must be submitted electronically by June 12, 2026. The government emphasizes that it will use the feedback to shape the final acquisition strategy and solicitation, which will be posted on Sam.gov when released. Contact points for inquiries are provided, but the government may not respond to all questions.

Small Bodies Discipline NodeNASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center has issued a sources-sought notice for the Small Bodies Discipline Node, part of the Planetary Data System (PDS), which manages the long-term preservation and usability of planetary science data. This notice is intended for information gathering and industry feedback rather than proposal submission. The PDS Discipline Nodes must comply with federal cybersecurity requirements and support the development and application of standards to ensure effective access and interoperability of NASA’s planetary science data, including mission observations, models, and software. NASA is seeking capability statements from a broad range of entities, including small businesses and minority-serving institutions, to assist in shaping competition levels and small business subcontracting goals for the upcoming acquisition. The Government requests input on realistic small business participation goals, potential barriers such as certifications or technical complexity, and strategies to enhance small business involvement, such as breaking down requirements or promoting teaming arrangements. While this is not a solicitation, NASA plans to use the feedback to finalize the request for proposals and may consider various small business set-asides depending on responses received. Interested parties must submit comments electronically by June 12, 2026, and can indicate if they prefer not to be listed publicly to support teaming opportunities. The official solicitation, if issued, will be available on the Sam.gov website, and it is the responsibility of interested offerors to monitor that site for updates.

Planetary Plasma Interactions Discipline NodeNASA's Goddard Space Flight Center is seeking input from interested parties for the Planetary Plasma Interactions Discipline Node as part of the Planetary Data System (PDS). This notice is not a solicitation for proposals but serves to gather information and assess industry capabilities, especially for small businesses and minority-serving institutions. The PDS Discipline Nodes are responsible for the long-term preservation, usability, and stewardship of NASA planetary science data, ensuring compliance with federal cybersecurity requirements and supporting standards development to enhance data access and interoperability. The agency requests capability statements from potential prime contractors, subcontractors, or teaming partners, including small business categories such as Small Disadvantaged Businesses, HUBZone, Veteran-owned, and Women-owned small businesses. Respondents are also asked to provide feedback on realistic small business subcontracting goals, identify potential barriers to small business participation, and suggest strategies to enhance their involvement, such as breaking down requirements or encouraging mentor-protégé partnerships. Responses must be submitted by June 12, 2026, and NASA may use the feedback to shape the forthcoming solicitation. The government emphasizes that this is a market research effort only and does not guarantee a contract award or compensation for submitted information.
