AI Contract Overview
The Lunar Enabling Infrastructure Accelerator (LEIA) is a full and open competition solicitation issued by the NASA Glenn Research Center under the NextSTEP-3 Broad Agency Announcement. The program seeks industry partners to design, develop, and demonstrate prototype systems to mature critical lunar and cislunar infrastructure technologies from lower technology readiness levels toward TRL 5-6. The scope is divided into five technical topics: Vertical Solar Arrays, In-Situ Resource Utilization (ISRU) Oxygen from Regolith Production, Radioisotope Stirling Generators, In-Space Advanced Manufacturing, and Innovative Nanomaterials Production. Awards will be firm-fixed-price contracts with an anticipated total period of performance not exceeding three years, with awards expected in the second quarter of fiscal year 2027. Proposals are evaluated based on a pass/fail assessment of relevance and past experience, followed by a scored evaluation of technical merit, which includes the technical approach, execution strategy, work plan, organizational readiness, personnel qualifications, and risk mitigation. Price and business volumes are reviewed for fairness, reasonableness, and risk but are not numerically scored. Offerors must submit a comprehensive proposal package via NASA's EFSS Box, including a detailed work plan in the form of a Statement of Work, an Organizational Conflicts of Interest plan, and required eligibility certifications. All deliverables must adhere to strict NASA security, cybersecurity, and equipment marking standards, with final inspection and acceptance occurring at the destination.
